Hundreds of people demonstrating against the Evers administration’s safer-at-home order gathered outside the Wisconsin Capitol on Friday, ignoring social distancing recommendations and crowding together on the steps of the state Capitol.

There were lots of American flags and anti-Evers signs. Some people were sporting Trump gear and signs.

Some people wore masks or bandannas per guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But many did not.

While there was a large crowd of people protesting on the Capitol's front lawn, there were protesters who were social distancing — on the outskirts of the Capitol sidewalk or in their cars..........................................

When Madison had 18,000 protesters in February 2011, FOX News showed rioting on Madison's wintry streets with palm trees in the background.

It's the end of April and they aren't there! Besides, 1500 people gathering could be a company picnic compared with 18,000.

Pretty sure the 2011 anti-Walker protests you referenced were closer to 100,000 ... but who really cares 🙄... it didn't change anything then and the covidiots won't change anything now.

(as in, "I can't believe there are THAT many people in Wisconsin who are THAT stupid." ) BUT when weighed against all the Wisconsinites who support sheltering, the number is miniscule.

They don't deserve your attention.
