JHChrist. this is a pro-Trump rally/protest from yesterday (Saturday) in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills is considered moderately liberal. So who are these people? and who are the people honking.

I skipped through the video here and there - mostly unmasked people marched down Rodeo Drive.

sign saying These People are Sick - pedo.gate 4:41
one lady with a megaphone said immigrants love pedos.
a sign saying Iranians for Trump. 5:47
interviewing a couple of Mexican guys for trump 32:00
megaphone lady saying we can't have freedom if we don't have law and order 53:30
megaphone lady saying masks are against freedom
trump tee-shirts for sale 57:46
tee-shirt w/map of california with Hammer and Sickle 57:43
sign saying State workers will not pay 4 your virus
lots of police presence
Lisa Simpson for president at 1:02:00 read her sign all about protecting children from traffickers
3:01 guy getting heated about not using American flag - tells (somebody) your flag is the confederate flag

then a different dance protest party with masked people up the street on Santa Monica/San Vicente 2:19




Mostly young people. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?

(the video and audio is shaky -- the guy is on a bike)

They look like Hicks from the far outskirts that organized a protest in Beverly Hills.

Like how Texas is getting more blue, sadly California is getting more red with people moving there.

My aunt and uncle live out near there and they were amazed how many Trump signs they see and how many people support Trump.

The sound is so bad I can't make out much of what she says, but she does know she followed Trump.

I suppose she's a Qanon cultist, since she's saying it's all about pedophilia. Seems stupid to base it on a joke about how incompetent Trump is.

I wonder how they feel about global warning is a hoax.

Merced and Butte counties are MF45 country.

they are EVERYWHERE online

QAnon is a death cult virus, a clear and present danger that is becoming extremely widespread here in the EU as well

it is only going to grow and morph into a justification for deadly violence against anyone considered by its followers as the 'other'

They probably came in from Orange County. And quite a few of the young ones are in the Qanon cult. During the pandemic it sucked in a lot of unstable people emotionally.

With its iconic Beverly Hills sign and reflecting pool, Beverly Gardens Park is popular with tourists and also the throngs of art-lovers who attend the semi-annual Beverly Hills Art Show there.
Then, 2020 happened.
While stay-at-home orders have thinned the number of visitors, crowds of conservatives and Trump supporters from across southern California have turned the park into the site of a weekly "Freedom Rally." Every Saturday since late July, the like-minded meet to condemn what they see as government overreach during the pandemic and show support for law enforcement and President Trump.
The rallies have begun to draw hundreds of attendees — its popularity boosted on Aug. 8 when members of the national conservative #WalkAway campaign also held an event at the park with appearances by actors Lorenzo Lamas and Scott Baio.
