But they're still outnumbered by the MAGATs. This is fab!

She was active in a couple of clubs of medical and female professionals. She would have dinner with my family when we visited Disney World

... another adds: "It's not enough to vote them out, we want accountability!"

Couldn't agree more. The national nightmare won't end unless and until that happens. "Looking forward" still demands that we reconcile the past.

in the Villages, but NOTHING of that magnitude!

That's truly wonderful to see. 😁

11. Looks like a great turnout but perhaps some of them are snowbirds.

They usually don’t go home until mid-April through May. Nevertheless, good turnout.

12. Usually people I consider old are actually younger than I. I guess I am old and confused.

13. My friends moved to The Villages

and there were about 5 people protesting against tRump a few years ago. They aren't political and I think they got bored with me going on and on about the fucking moron. They told me everyone who lived there were GOP voters. Obviously I'm not a fan of The Villages. I guess they woke up and smelled the coffee when tRump wanted to mess with their health care and Social Security.
