Just a reminder, there are several anti trump protests today

Chicago, Toronto, DC, and other places. Check #trumpprotest and #NotMyPresident on twitter. Lots of live stream and pictures. Something you will likely not see on the state run media outlets.

The more that know about these the better. It gives me hope. The state run media will try not to cover it to help stomp out the Resistance to the normalizing this crap. Sharing where these are happening and all the avenues to watch is a must in the days of censored media. Pleas share links and info on the protesters. President Obama said we should not be silent.

Can't wait to do more. Very therapeutic.

Funny thing, I kept my signs and put them in the front window. The next morning someone had placed a trump/pence sign in my yard. I went out back grabbed the lighter fluid and a lighter. Went back out front. Neighbors were watching. Oh I also had my new NotMyPresident shirt. Anyway, I go back up front to where the bad sign is, dowsed it in lighter fluid, lite it. And watched it burn. The remains of the sign are scorched in my yard.

My orange man loving neighbors were shocked. One goes, "Nice day, So how ya doing?" My response, "Not bad considering you just elected hitler. Anyway got to go finishing fixing the house. Might have to sell it before the housing market crashes, and get out of the country before orange man gets us nuked by the Iranians. Have a good day." And I went in the house.

Very fast delivery too. Like they came in two or three days. I ordered 3.

There are many places selling lots of different styles of anti trump shirts and bumper stickers.

I heard amazon was out of stock.

Guess people are gearing up for the orange ones victory tour. I live in a state he won. Hopefully he will come, a trump protest will happen and be larger then his crowd and I can wear my shirt to a protest.

More in other places. Hopefully they will keep happening. They are working. Not necessarily working in that protesting alone will change the result. But working in that they are empowering. We need hope. The protests offer that. And then we can organize and resist the orange monster. They also piss off supporters of orange man. And orange man's ego is big, so one theater boos his vp, you know these protests got to be taking their toll. There have been protests everyday.
