I'm so proud of my state: Major crowds already out protesting "No Kings" this pm in Colorado!

I drove through the college town of Ft. Collins (CSU) this PM and scores of people were out at a major intersection with signs for the "NO KINGS" rally on Saturday--getting quite the head start. There had to be close to 30 people at the intersection where a car lot closed and a pumpkin stand now advertises. Most of them looked like retirees, and I was driving, so I had no ability to take photos, but their signs were great! Even some in Portland-style costumes.

I love it!

Four days early and already out there, so I AM expecting major crowds in Ft. Collins, Boulder, Denver, and dispersed elsewhere! Makes me SO happy to see!

3. Everyone needs to wave large American flags during these protests.

TAKE BACK OUR FLAG

5. I AGREE

ENOUGH ALREADY - *WE* ARE THE REAL PATRIOTS

7. Exactly. Its time we show it. Proudly.

4. I think we're going to see a lot of inflatable animal costumes! They have become an icon already.

6. Well, they're cute, they're fun, and they take an edge off the protest.

Helps ease a stressful situation with humor. Hey, how many comedians started out discovering how they could use humor to diffuse a potential problem encounter with some neighborhood ruffian?

Seems pretty clever to me.
