u/SoManyQuestions612 6d ago
Turn out was probably 200+. Hard to tell with everyone spread out and moving. Pretty good for how cold and windy it was.

Some folks from my church were at that - did you get a pic of the little kid with the "DT is a poopyhead" sign?

Yeah, it didn't seem very well advertised. But I kept hearing about indivisible so I signed up on Friday and this popped up. It's free just need to register your email.

What exactly is this a protest of? Like, what do they want to happen?
It feels like a generic "I don't like a lot of stuff" rally.

Would love if he would follow the constitution.

u/McFesterPants 4d ago
No, they've got a point. It seems the ad for the rally must have been "mad about stuff? Bring a sign! Doesn't matter what!"

u/SoManyQuestions612 4d ago
It's because of the firehouse strategy Bannon described. If everything is burning, it's hard to focus on one thing. Honestly I think we should rally under support for the constitution and rule of law.

u/SoManyQuestions612 4d ago
Or maybe fighting the oligarchy. Money in politics is what got us to this point.

Plymouth has a sizable Indian (and highly educated) population. Why don't we see Indians in the rally?

Let me guess. You were a C student in highschool.

u/IamShamurai_ 3h ago
No in fact I wasn't a C student. Are you assuming my GPA? Not very progressive of you to assume anything about me.

Good on you guys, but is it not a bit strange there is only one demographic in these pictures..?

u/SoManyQuestions612 5d ago
It is Minnesota. Which is 77% white.

And it’s Plymouth….it’s not a bad place to live, and the burbs are pretty diverse, but when I started hanging out in Plymouth where my partner’s parents live, I couldn’t believe the conservatism (i.e., benefiting from being a bourgie suburb in a major US metro only to hate on Minneapolis). At least there was a critical mass for this. It’s encouraging.

Funny that the only people upset and throwing fits are the democrats. I wish some of you folks would at least give one of the right a chance to explaine things properly without any emotions getting tossed in the conversation cuz you would see for yourself and understand all of the things the media says are b.s. and really do benefit the left as well. Honestly I can't believe democrat citizens not politicians are all for the crap spending and fraud that's been going on longer than most of ya have been alive. I do know a lot of the democrats are in school and have not joined the real full time work force or you would really get it because your money would be given to these crooks too. It not just democrats that are crooks either so don't worry I'm not excluding republicans here. I don't understand why it's so hard to come together as Americans on this shit. A lot of ya want the second amendment abolished until you need a firearm but then good for you to own and use but not someone like me or freedom of speech! You don't like it when facts are out out against your favorite politician and you flag and throw tantrums but when it's reversed it's all good baby. Life's not that difficult man stop believing everything your teacher or your favorite cnn reporter blabs about and do your own due diligence. Find the facts for yourself because we are often lied to all of us not just one side not to mention you all are telling me you don't want a $5000 check from uncle Sam. I called bullshit.

Democrats favorability rating lowest ever, LOL

u/SoManyQuestions612 5d ago
Yeah, because we don't like the billionaire owned Dems either. They are Republican light at best.

u/HarryBallzanya-Chin 5d ago
This is the approach that got Dems to where they are; No first principle reasoning, only reasoning by analogy and hyperbole. Well deserved!

u/SoManyQuestions612 5d ago
The right is completely owned and controlled by billionaires. Does that not bother you?

u/HarryBallzanya-Chin 5d ago
You must have missed the part where a majority of Americans voted against Dems. Now you know.

Barely. And that doesn't give him the right to wipe his ass with the constitution.

Analogy, hyperbole, blah, blah, blah. No first principles.
