Be afraid MAGA. Be very afraid.

Los Angeles came out in droves. #NoKings

This. ⬇️ Pay attention to what the people on the ground are saying. The citizens who are actually there. MSM may not tell you half the truth. Especially as it’s owned by billionaires and bigots. The protests represent everyday folk. More people see the truth of Trump than we are led to believe.
