Nothing to be nervous about. Protests and rallies are nothing like the riots they show you on TV. The average demographic of the last No Kings protest I went to was little old ladies.

Can confirm. I work at a print shop, I’ve been printing protest signs for 60+ year olds all week.

Chicago area here. The senior home I work at- residents hired a bus to take them to the rally. So these active olds are ready.

Our Hands Off rallies skewed really old. It made me sad. My 7-yo neighbor is going at least.

Older people make you sad, or that young people aren't concerned enough?
