Wow. I saw a family of Deplorables in Hollywood.

I was driving down Vine where it intersects with Hollywood Blvd and there were two women and two children wearing red MAGA hats. One woman had a cut out of Drumpf's head and another had a sign about border security. If anybody knows that area it is the last place to hold an impromptu Drumpf rally. It would be like holding a Hillary rally in front of the Kremlin. I suspect they were trying to create an incident.Why bring kids into it ? Who knows?


BTW, I defend their right to protest wherever they choose, but it sure seemed provocative.

1. I've gotten more "outspoken" in my old age. I probably would've said something like,

"If you're hoping Dolt 45* will grab your pussy, I'm sorry but you're only a 2. Or maybe a 2.5. I normally wouldn't use that sort of language in front of a child, but they seem to think it's perfectly acceptable for their pResident to say it, so why not me?

Idiots.

2. I was driving... I was going to go down Highland, but it was busy or blocked because of the Oscars.

People should be free to protest any where, but L A is a majority minority city and provoking Hispanics is not wise. As I said I believe they were trying to create an incident.

3. They were probably a family of paid drumpf supporter activists.

That's the kid and sign I mentioned in my original post.

The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA Metropolitan Statistical Area has nearly 19,000, 000 people and they could only get a dozen to protest.

Sad.

P.S. It all makes sense now. The people i saw were going to an "organized" protest.

We have the advantage of already knowing their folly.

It's hilarious that they picked that spot. They're lucky I moved to AK. I would have protested their protest.
