    If you look at the map, it’s pretty significant the number. Also, there are some in states you wouldn’t think there would be any.

      Every state has a significant percentage of non-fascists in it. The notion of “red states” vs. “blue states” is nothing but a lie / artifact of voting district boundaries; the real dichotomy is red rural areas vs. blue cities.

        Also, just because the states are MAJORITY red in polls\voting doesn’t mean that none of those places have democrats or other parties there. They are just the minority.

    “No Kings” and it’s framing sound less tame and vague than “Hands Off” did, so here’s hoping.

      Honestly it’s way catchier than 50501 lol. Gets right down to the essence of what America is.

    Be prepared for shit to hit the fan

    The US national guard has a dark history when it comes to murdering innocent peaceful protesters and then still managing to murder innocent people whose crime it was “happened to be walking by”

    Edit: just to clarify; the murderers walk free to this day, a judge decided it was okay to murder innocent students

    Edit 2: reading this, WTF is it with Americans in gun fights just randomly shooting at everything and everyone? Are these such bad marksmen that they hit passerbys? We’re they just so scared they shot at everything that moved, even though everything was peaceful and they were the only ones who had the guns? Did they purposely shot at the passerbys, out of sheer evil? I mean, how is this explained away?

      Not sure what your edit is regarding, but LEOs in instances like this are just going to shoot and blame the victims that get hit. “Shouldn’t have been there anyway” or something, even if they’re literally just innocent bystanders or the bullet went through an house and killed them in bed.
