Christy Walton paid for a full page in the NY Times promoting the “No Kings” protests. Yes, there are leaders organizing these events. You likely have local citizens engaged in organizational roles.

The GOP fantasy about economics is getting ridiculous.

No, what you did was to lie and engage in political theater.

Just when you believe there’s no way these clowns can dig deeper, then they do. Nasty, incompetent people. We need to clean house.

I attended one of these central planning committee meetings of the IPC located in Dayton OH. I also attended several meetings in Montreal. Just as this weekend’s public demonstrations are organized, same was true of many (not all) Vietnam War large demonstrations.

Do the names Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda, Abbie Hoffman, Rennie Davis, Jerry Rubin and Dave Dellinger mean anything to you? Does the Indo-China Peace Campaign (ICPC) register with you?

Suggesting that we be non-violent is “my way”? Actually this is what many are saying.
This is one of the reasons progressives/liberals have a hard time winning. It’s endless infighting.

OMG. I suggested that we think about how we capture the news cycle and what we want to communicate. The Vietnam anti-war movement was effective at this. We need to be too. (What’s with the negativity?)

Don’t engage in violence and encourage others to do likewise. Isolate agitators (likely paid) to make all of us look bad.

Not so. Most police, National Guard and Marines don’t want to be in the streets. They are being used by Trump.

Rallies are typically non-violent.

Just don’t resort to violence or confrontation with law enforcement. This alone will take the air out of Trump’s tyrannical balloon. Soon, they will have zero reason to stand in the blazing sun.

When you have four reputable polls showing similar results, what might this suggest?

I do to some extent. How do you get a read on America?

That’s great and yes many demonstrators I’ve seen locally are seniors. Yet national polls still show high support among seniors for this madman.
