The group of "revolutionaries" pictured look more like people who exist off the labor of others, not on their own. The funding for their existence is either from the taxpaying citizens (Social Welfare) or from working non-productive tasks (Gov't jobs, NGO's, etc.). The support group is all out working so they can have food & shelter.

Who do you think will be left standing? Yes, I'm prepared.

They should have read more history. It's the revolutionaries/brown shirts that are the first to die once the new regime takes over.

And then they become useful example on what NOT to do or be.

Most of those 'heart of Trump country' protests consisted of half a dozen or so aged hippies standing on a street corner for a few hours.

From other reports I've seen, even the larger protest numbers were inflated 5-10x.

Looking at the comments, most of the supporters are still rambling on about 'Project 2025', and "Elon stole the election for Trump". And they wonder why they lost.

Heck, I live in an indigo town in a sapphire state, and all we saw when we drove past was, first, nothing (as of 8am) and then, maybe 10-15 people when we came back after running errands (about 4 hours later).

(Note to spell checker: it's never duck, and indigo != Indiegogo.)

and I bet the report (if any) was 'dozens' or 'over 100' people protested.....

Those who don't remember history are doomed to repeat it.

Those who do remember history are doomed to stand by and watch everyone else repeat it.
