Yes, I did it. From south Miami I took an Uber, a Metrorail, a Monorail, and arrived at the Friendship Torch on Biscayne Blvd for the No Kings Day protet. And it revealed a lot to me.

I expected it to be mostly senior citizens but it wasn’t. Guessing, about 1/2 were seniors and the other half made up of 20, 30, 40 year olds.

The signs were amazing. Some called for immigrations, saying this country was built on immigrants, which it was.

Others highlighted women’s rights, tariffs, and democracy, or the lack of each one in todays America.

The one I liked best was headed by : Same Shit – Different Hats and it had pictures of a Nazi cap, a crown, Trumps hat, and various other hats from history.

Protesters lined the highway and cars honked in support. Some cars were decorated in anti-Trump regalia and drivers leaned on their horns.

It was a pleasant atmosphere, with a few stands barracking for their own cause or giving out political brochures. I received a terrific T-shirt, which I draped over my packback.

Somewhere along the way, it slid off and another protester picked it up and will wear it, hopefully.

I felt like I did something positive for my political views. I made an effort. And it started a small wave of how else I can support the Anti-Trump movement. So I sent an email to Gov JB Pritzker applauding his attitude and efforts to stand up the dictator in the White House. Today I am going to contact the office of Gov Newsome.

The whole experience made me feel good. And I’ll certainly be there for the next one.
