Several hundred, eh?
This is so perfect.
The one picture where it looks like an actual crowd is demonstrating, half of them are anti-Trump counter-demonstrators.
If I hear one more person call Trump Supporters “the forgotten people” I’m going to explode. Those people won’t let anyone forget about them and have not let us forget for one second since at least the 80s. They have been outside Planned Parenthood clinics with vile signs and pictures for 40 years at least. The coal miners have had offers of help and in fact get help from the federal government and have since forever.
And they are the people who dressed up and did cos-play demonstrations and Tea Bagged Jesus all over the Obama administration.
Forgotten? Goddamn it I wish they’d let us forget about them for 5 seconds. When did it become de rigeur to propose letting the dumbest among us run things because boo hoo hoo they’ve been forgotten?
I have spent my entire life trying to empathize with others. To do everything I can to make the lives of my fellow beings better and happier in whatever ways I can. To seek the truth with humility, knowing that perfect certainty is impossible for humans, because additional information can always been found that will cause one to adjust one’s judgements.
But with these people…I…just…can’t.
They want to be sympathized with, without having sympathy for others. They want to impose their truth on others, without listening to any information that might undermine their self-certainty.
I have completely lost whatever sympathy I had for them. I have become someone I don’t like, and I don’t know what to do about it.
But yes, I do take comfort in the fact that there are so (relatively) few of them.
Don’t worry, Chuck. By the time Dear Leader tweets about it at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow, it will have been millions. Far bigger than the women’s march or any crowd Obama ever got.
Seattle Times reporter says 400-500 pro Trump demonstrators in Olympia, WA. About 100 counterdemonstraters. Rally led by former Republicanstate legislator who resigned when it was revealed he falsified his service record.

WA state spokesman estimates 400-500 pro-trump people. Another hundred or so counter-demonstrators. #waleg #olywa #politics
Don’t do that to yourself.
Everyone has to draw lines - there have to be standards in order for there to be a way to measure right and wrong. There are objective standards in this society and you are not wrong to dislike those who wish to tear down our fundamental American decency.
They are not acting like decent humans and there is no way that you can spend your life letting your empathy deceive you into thinking that you have to show fairness and sympathy to people who are determined to destroy what you believe in.
You can only do that if you fancy yourself Buddha or Jesus and perfection is a false model. It doesn’t exist and it wouldn’t be pretty anyway.
You need to respect your own ethics here. 
God I love how you think but I imagine I’d prefer if you didn’t shave.
{{swoon}} tell me when and where this is going to happen so maybe I can be there to see it.
The only word that comes to mind: SAD!
(Actually, I’m not even sure if it’s worth the exclamation point.)
In another fine example of extreme visual awareness, it appears the nice folks at Grift-a-Lotto were kind enough to replicate a giant promo shot of Comrade Chaos from his casino days.
That’s some fine messaging. It’s understandable, however, considering they actually believe — despite his six (6) bankruptcies, the fact that no US banks would loan him a dime, and he stiffed every person (contractors, employees, shareholders) he came in contact with — was a very successful businessman.
Well bless their hearts! March 4 Trump. Too clever by one fourth.
Yuge crowds!
Well, that couldn’t have cost him much to set up.
Maybe he just promised a steak and a bottle of russian vodka for each attendee.
These pathetic rallies should depress anyone supporting Trump. Sure, he will lie about the turn out but those there (and anyone seeing the pictures) know the truth. He and his supporters are a laughably small percentage of the voting public. I actually take heart from these photos. His support is shrinking to the basest die hards.
Yes and yes indeed.
I’ve seen more people on the stage during the balcony scene in a community theater production of “Evita”.
Did everyone see all of those pro-Trump crowds at the pro-Trump rallies in every fucking city across the fucking country today?
Well, squint harder.
Amen! I am particularly sick of the coal miners. The industry has been dying for over 30 years and they are unwilling to move on. Just because one’s great-grandpa was a coal miner, it doesn’t follow that one is entitled to a legacy job in a defunct industry. And since they are so happy with the rollback in environmental regs, I hope they like their cancer-causing drinking water. UGH!
