    It continues to amaze me how many people are free to attend "protests". My question is-------------why are they not in school or at their jobs.

    The second thing is----------do they not realize that gang marching public accomplishes NOTHING. Well maybe it does accomplish one thing, if they block streets and hiways, they really annoy people going about their lives.

    Could it be they are unemployed welfare sops that have nothing better to do? If they can march in protests, they are capable of working and their welfare checks should be stopped immediately.

    protests and marches helped end Segregation and the Vietnam War and got women the right to vote

    So all of those people who showed up to Trump's giant rallies were unemployed? Really? Well, Trump has assured us that the unemployment rate is around 40%, so I guess.

    hmm, looks like more than a few big Tea Party protests took place on weekdays.

    I guess these folks had no jobs and were on welfare?

    -February 27, 2009, to protest the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP)

    -April 15, 2009, to coincide with the annual U.S. deadline for submitting tax returns,

    -November 5, 2009, in Washington, D.C. to protest health insurance reform

    -On June 29, 2009, in Nashville, Tennessee, four thousand people rallied against proposed emissions trading (cap and trade) energy in Congress and universal health care.[114]

    -On July 17, 2009, there were additional Tea Party protests around the nation organized by a group called Tea Party Patriots, this time against President Obama's proposed health care overhaul that they labeled socialized medicine.[118]

    The OP seems to be taking a shot at "freedom of assembly".

    The last time I checked that was part of the 1st Amendment.

    Nobody I know has anything against freedom of assembly and peaceful nondisruptive demonstrations. It's just that the left wing fringe has no concept of the latter.

    Most of the Trump supporters that I know are unemployed white guys (living on welfare with their baby mama) who sell plasma (and make one pot meth) for money to buy drugs, beer and cigarettes.

    They don't work, but they have enough money every year to buy a new Confederate Flag to fly from the trailer.

    Yup. Unemployed Trump supporters. Without jobs.

    They embrace Trump because he helps them further their personal narratives of racism and white supremacy.

    Anecdotal, to be sure. But, that is my experience with "Trump Supporters".

    I must admit, that I have a melancholy feeling, when I ride by their trailer park (in my 2017 Mercedes, with my 22-year-old girlfriend, on the way to my house on the hill) and, I can look out and see "Trump Supporters".

    Sometimes being a Limousine Liberal can be positively taxing.

    Likely they come from the American citizenry and juggle jobs/school as needed to prioritize the event just as has always occurred. You attempt to label and categorize thousands of people is noted and rather childish....the only difference here is the quantity of people not the quality.

    Okay, there's one out of thousands that didn't end badly. Have any of them figured what the hell they were protesting? At last glance they hadn't, was mostly a bad cocktail mix of estrogen and testosterone.

    Very true. But these current protesters are still protesting the election that is in the books and that will change nada.

    Your TV on the blink? Miss all the riots where private property was destroyed by anarchist with leftist support (no protesters tried to stop them)? Navigator was spot on. "Quote Originally Posted by navigator2 View Post

    vast majority of anti-Trump protests have been peaceful

    It's not like the old days of protesting. Protestors are using social media like Facebook to organize at a moments notice. It's a good question to ponder "How are these people able to organize so quickly?" I imagine a lot of them are college students skipping classes, people calling in sick from work, or unemployed, who instead of looking for a job,utilize their time to attend these protests. It just makes the US look uncivilized to other nations! Plus the fact that they cause problems for people who want to get to work and the extra money for police to ensure peace. Personally, I'm sick of it!

    So you have proof that all of those protesters are unemployed or are on welfare?
