Went to a Labor Day protest at the pier in Huntington Beach.
Two hours of camaraderie, chanting, and lots and lots of beeping and thumbs up from the passing cars. Saw exactly 1 pro trump sign and hundreds and hundreds of pro democracy/anti fascist signs.
Passers by were overwhelmingly in favor of the demonstration, and one trump-humper (with an appropriately weird messages on his truck) circled a few times, flipped us all off and then drove away.
Two of us discussed politics with a pro-Trump woman (who pushed her little doggy in a baby carriage) who tried to tell us that the polio and small pox vaccines we had as kids did nothing good and killed thousands; we laughed. There is no appropriate response to that nonsense.
My parents were terrified of polio and refused to have children until there was a vaccine. And when I was a child I had a neighbor who was seriously scarred from small pox, which is an almost non-existent threat today.
There were two people with signs on their hats:
The constitution is NOT a suggestion
If your vote had no power they wouldn't try to take it from you
The signs ran the gamut of “no kings” “pro-union” and “anti-trump” and I’ve attached a few pictures. There were dozens more that were good but this is a good sample.

Love your sign collection!
Personally, I believe that tRump WILL attempt to destroy what is left of the US when he feels he is going down, both in health and polls.
He is an extremely vindictive and not patriotic at all. He lives for attention, $$$$$, and sadism. I agree with James Carville's statement made earlier this week. When tRump knows he is NOT going to make it to the end of his term he will do all he can to take us down with him.
My gut instinct is telling me this. It is usually right, when I listen to it.
