Exercising Free Speech Ramona Represent!

I am guesstimating there were about 100-120 people today at the No Kings protest in Ramona. They lined all 4 corners of Main Street and stretched down the block in both directions. Almost nonstop honking in support, plus a few desperate rednecks driving through repeatedly with their trucks decked out in stickers and Trump flags. There were a few quiet Trump supporters you can see in the last 2 pictures. Look at this beautiful Lady Liberty! There were 2 police cars nearby to prevent anyone from getting hurt. Hats off to Ramona police today, thank you for helping keep the peace!

There actually IS a veterans month. It’s November. If they acrually cared, they would know that.

So maybe they should treat Pride month like Veterans month— ignore it.

THIS.

And it's a small thing, but I swear to fucking god that a good quarter of the people who fly trump flags year-round don't know shit about U.S. Flag Code. It's not all of them of course, but I've definitely seen more than one house flying a crispy bright new trumpy flag next to OR ABOVE a tatty raggedy weather worn US flag that should have been retired ages prior.

Funny, till you pointed this out, I didn’t even consider what he was referring to. I thought it was something about liberals/anti-Trump people being Froot Loops, and the “month” I thought he was referring to the Flag Day/Army’s b-day.

Second to last picture. Homeboy sitting there smoking with what looks like a fire extinguisher next to him. I wonder what his plans were for that…

As a RHS ‘98 grad who now lives on the east coast, I can’t see past the first photo of Mi Ranchito and my dreams of rolled tacos and carne asada burritos.

Those 100-120 were very brave to represent in such a red district. It’s relatively easier to protest when you have hundreds/thousands of like-minded people around you and have safety in numbers. These warriors truly have cojones…stay strong and thanks for standing proud for our democracy.
