Tom and I went to a No Kings protest and march last Saturday. We could have gone to a big one in Orlando, but we hate driving in that traffic towards Orlando. Instead we went to a small city a bit north of us. I'm glad we went. For a small city like Apopka, FL, it was a great turnout. Someone said it was 500 people, and since these things are always exaggerated and so hard to determine, I'd say there were about 400.
Many thousands attended in Orlando. There were about 75 protests across Florida alone. Wikipedia says across the country"more than 5 million people in more than 2,100 cities and towns" in every state showed up. How amazing is that?
What really gets me are the pictures of maybe 7 - 12 people who showed up and protested in little teeny redneck cities. SO brave. I could almost imagine how hard their hearts were pounding.
