.....about what really went down in Nashville today.

The protesters are reported to have numbered 2,500. Which is a lot.

But other media say the DT supporters strung out for a mile and took hours to enter, because of the double security checks imposed by police. The implication is that the 10K seat auditorium would likely have filled if people hadn't been delayed for up to 3 hours. Hence, empty seats were due to not letting people in, in a timely way.

This story is complicated and so it's hard to tell if enough people really are starting to get a clue in a deep red state.

That's what confusing. Some look like ordinary people. But not our people---because I see no signs, no pink hats. So by deduction---it really could be DTer's. Still hard to decipher.

The demonstrators are clearly demonstrators---because they are carrying messages.

Can't wait to wear mine. I didn't know about them until I got to the Women's March. Since then I've knitted three.

were willing to give maggot a chance, thinking he would change somehow if he got in office.
He did.
He got worse.

He will get even worse.
Maybe they will finally get it through their heads.
