We had 100-150 people, mostly middle aged. We had more people honking in support than shouting “TRUMP!” or driving by waving trump flags.

Anyone else go to protests today ?

I live in a tiny red town. We had a dozen protesters show up today. We occupied one of the three blocks downtown.

We had about ten trucks go by that shouted or "rolled coal" on the protesters. Someone came by and dropped of bottled water for us. Lots of people waving at us.

Rolling coal has to be one of dumbest things, imo.

"Look how much money I'm wasting and how much carbon I'm depositing into my engine! Truly, you're the idiot here!"

Yes, we had a couple of those at ours too, and I thought the same thing.

It's hilarious how it's literally illegal **in the entire contential US ** and never prosecuted or penalized lol.
