In reply to the discussion: Going to a protest today...sound off here [View all]pandr32
(13,734 posts)82. My husband, grown daughter, and I will go today.
My husband has been trying to get local veterans to go, so we'll see if any show. I have some friends who will be there.
The local news typically downplays turnouts for protests unless they are against the TMT on Mauna Kea. Many locals say they are just a bunch of seniors and LGBTQ and people with purple hair that go to these things.
The truth is that protests against the Felon and his stooges have been well attended and by a variety of people. We also get way more horn honking and waving to show us support than getting flipped off. A counter group protest is usually tiny if at all.

I can't physically stand or walk for any length of time, so I'm attending a virtual event.

Would love to go but these are too far from Aix, where I am, and unfortunately nothing in Marseille.
