From very red Leesville, Louisiana - No Kings [View all]
Held at the local Town Hall, around 50 people came together today to protest Trump. Last time people had to travel to Alexandria or Lake Charles but not today. Today, Leesville joined in (and that means No Kings is spreading to the entrenched rural strongholds).
Mostly older women (my age and older) and retired military as well as federal workers. A few young people.
People were smiling and laughing.
A few pics.
Organizers gave out signs and bandanas.
One pro-Trump jerk upset over Charlie Kirk with a FU sign on his truck.
Police were present.
