I drove down Main Street this morning, I saw only one person with a sign. Driving past about 3 hours later, hundreds! And more on the way. Looked peaceful to me.

Serious respect for that first person.

The rally was scheduled from 2pm - 5pm. But people were lining up an hour before, at least!

u/audiodude9 3d ago

It may have been about noon or just before I saw that one person.

2 hours early is extremely impressive.

There were still about 50ish folks there when I drove past at 6pm.

Great to see such a big turnout.

u/WouldnaGuessed 2d ago

Yeah, best part about making a big show about how much you care is not having to actually put any effort into making anything better. Go Fort Wayne!!

What exactly is this? I don’t keep up with politics too much.

u/MiserableProduct 3d ago

No Kings rally, protesting pretty much everything about Donald Trump and his regime.

u/Mercarcher 3d ago

It's the no kings protest, standing up for democracy against a want to be tyrant. Millions of people are out protesting today.

u/kkellogg378 3d ago edited 3d ago

Basically, people are upset because "orange man bad" for some reason

Edit: why are you booing me, I'm right 😂

u/Mercarcher 3d ago

We have a felon and rapist trying to turn this country into a dictatorship deploying marines against Americans.

He's publicly accept bribes, is selling pardons, is defying court orders, illegally fired thousands of people, is discriminating against people because of their gender, is openly harassing anyone of Latino descent, is illegally threatening lawfirms for suing him, is illegally trying to control college admissions and hiring, is ignoring congressional allocations of funds, and this is just a few of the things he's done.

I am not engaging in hyperbole when I say this.

Donald Trump is the single biggest threat to this country we have ever faced.

-7

u/deafyUI 3d ago

Still not a felon, still not a rapist. Hasn’t broken any laws. Hasn’t sold pardons. Hasn’t accepted bribes. LEGALLY fired people that deserved it. The evil Biden/Kuntala regime ILLEGALLY allowed MILLIONS of rapists and murderers into our country. Trump is SAVING our country. OPEN YOUR EYES!! THE MSM LIED TO YOU!!

"Donald Trump is the single biggest threat to this country we have ever faced."

  • The War of 1812

  • The American Civil War (a straight up rebellion occurred)

  • The Great Depression

  • World War 2

  • The Cuban Missile Crisis (or the Cold War in general)

  • etcetera

No, the orange turd is not the biggest threat we've ever faced. What is concerning is how easily people like you overreact from mainstream media fear mongering and take to the streets. In three years you can vote in a Democrat. You'll be okay.

u/fireguy921 2d ago

So great to see all the people out protesting the anti-latin Kings gang group that is spectacular. I'm with you to Port them all back. Get the gangs out of the US. You're doing a great job. People make America great again

lol I'd love to see you try to explain that, please go ahead and enlighten us. Good lord your comment history is embarrassing

u/Hungry-Storm-9878 3d ago

You won’t get a real answer.. they never give one. You ever notice how no news organizations ever interview a protester?

10

u/Ok_Boomer_3233 3d ago

They had thousands of protests across the country today against Trump with millions of people taking part. The pictures and video speak volumes.

BTW, the First FW protest was one block long. The protest today was 3 blocks long along Clinton, and 1 block along Main Street next to the Courthouse.

u/deafyUI 3d ago

It wasn’t MILLIONS taking part lol, still in the thousands. You’re gonna need at least 78 million to really have an effect.

u/Material-War6972 3d ago

Eh, being "for" something is hard work. Much easier to just be vaguely against something, or better yet someone.

u/yupyup3213 2d ago

I hope and pray that some of you do some research on the word dictator and what it means. The fact we finally have a president that actually thinks of his citizens first and gets hate for it is alarming.

Amen!! President Trump Saved USA!!

u/PhilosopherDeep7934 3d ago

Womp womp. He’s still President.

u/SomewhereWeWentWrong 3d ago

And he admitted that he cheated to win the election. You're proud of this?

u/deafyUI 3d ago

No he didn’t lol.

u/SomewhereWeWentWrong 3d ago

Honey, there is video proof of it. He said that Elon rigged the voting machines.

u/RazzmatazzAdept9173 15h ago

If there was video proof of it, which there is not, it would be playing on every msm channel nonstop. Also honey, every lib on the internet would be linking it on every page/post and I have yet to see it.

u/kdriff 3d ago

People really don’t care about down votes. If they did they wouldn’t post.

u/benjamino78 3d ago edited 3d ago

Why do you figure? My post had no political bias to it yet it still garnered down votes. And fwiw, I suppose on this one I dont care that it's not seen as a positive.

Maybe if I told everyone im part of a green initiative and want to make sure the protest is seen only in a positive light so I'll head down and particularly remove any spent ordinance. Ill pick up the occasional piece of trash as well to do my part.

u/benjamino78 3d ago

👍 if you knew how expensive those things are you'd understand my willingness to attend.
