in Resistance groups. I didn't hear anyone talking about the pro-Trump rally which turned out about 300 people in a metro of 5 million or so and where the Woman March turned out many thousands.

According to the local press: " a small group of about 15 protesters opposing Trump and his policies congregated on the walkway nearby. Armed with phones, the small group of demonstrators filmed the goings-on as attendees met them in a contentious but ultimately incident-free argument."

Big deal? I don't think so. We say awful thing about them too. Nothing happened in Phoenix.
