I was pleasantly surprised by seeing there were No Kings rallies [View all]
in small towns in northern Michigan. Granted, there were not huge crowds, but even a few dozen protesters were more than I ever expected. Upstaters generally consistently vote for Republicans because they think Democrats are "going to come for our guns," although they never have before. Jimmy Carter never came for their guns; Bill Clinton never came for their guns; Barack Obama never came for their guns; Joe Biden never came for their guns, but the next one is surely going to.
I never thought they would ever get anyone to protest a Republican president, but apparently DJT is a step too far, even for some of them!
