In reply to the discussion: 'There's a movement bubbling up': Anti-Trump protests planned nationwide Saturday [View all]BigmanPigman
(52,857 posts)11. This has turned into an anti-tRump and anti-MAGA/GOP protest
Of course Musk is included but basically everything that the GOP has done is a valid issue to protest. I've seen a lot of signs directed at the Republicans. I'm re-using my anti-tRump signs from 2017. I have them back to back so I people behind me can see my signs, too.
With over 1,000 protests planned this will be one to remember, like The Women's March in 2017. This will be historic.
I've been an activist since 1979 and this is incredible. It has grown so quickly and so large. Many people who have never even been to a protest before are going to this one. There are about 14 protests throughout Europe, too. I think they are underestimating the turnout, from what I've been seeing and reading over the past few weeks.

All for this! Hoping we make this about the GOP, not just Trump and Musk. Have to be a threat to Congressional seats.

More than just RSVPs will show up. And I guarantee you the next march after April 5 will be much larger. . . nt

These same people will be dancing in the streets once the Fascist Menace is finally gone for good.
