For the second time this month, hundreds of thousands of people in hundreds of cities across the United States protested in opposition to the threat of fascism under the Trump administration. From major cities to small towns, at virtually every state capitol, and at several Tesla dealerships, workers, students and retirees demonstrated against escalating attacks on democratic rights and rising inequality, and in defense of immigrants.

While tens of thousands protested in Washington D.C., New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles, thousands more protested in rural and mid-sized towns. Hundreds rallied in Bloomington, Indiana; 150 people protested in Crossville, Tennessee; some 2,000 people protested in Nashville, Tennessee; and over 1,000 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

    What’s funny to me is that the local rally wasn’t put on by socialists, it was put on by Democrats.

    Can’t even talk about liberal rallies now?

        It depends on the Democrat. There are centrists, liberals, and progressives in the Democratic Party.

          Doesn’t mean what I said was wrong. If you want to talk about individual democrats that’s one thing, but the party as a whole is not a liberal one by any definition.

            Not a liberal one by A definition. It is considered liberal here, where it exists. Which is another definition.

            You wanna keep doing this or can we both move on 😒

            Your pissy downvotes mean nothing to me
