πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

It is time that people can safely voice their opinions and potentially stop the corruption of elected officials. Our current administration is working to destroy the democracy.

staxx@ya

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

President Trump isn't doing anything different than former presidents have done concerning deportation except Biden.

diaxx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Outside of the ballot box this is one of the only ways that people can make a big statement about how they think their government is doing.

janxx@ms

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Peaceful protests provide a current method for we the people to communicate our opinions while waiting for next election. They do make a difference in helping the US citizens and politicians understand what the country wants.

debxx@ms

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Standing up for democracy and our marginalized population

janxx@ya

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Trump has caused so much damage that will take years to undo.

diaxx@me

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

I disagree with that basic belief underlying the protest.

janxx@co

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

This idiotic protest do nothing to promote change. In fact, they emphasize that what we have now is what millions and millions and millions of people voted for and want.

lauxx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

What we have seen happening in the United States currently is unprecedented. The government seems to be in a deadlock due to Trump's poor leadership. People need an opportunity to share their voice and be heard and be seen. Demonstrations like this help people come together in a form of activism that is needed today.

jacxx@co

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

This is a democracy and our voices should be heard.

pdsxx@ms

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Because what Mr. Trump and his cronies are doing is fundamentally wrong with saying he is helping the American people, he does not care about the American people only himself.

terxx@ao

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

People supporting lawlessness in our country and not accepting election results. I do support truly peaceful, lawful protests though.

lesxx@co

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Trump is all about hate. He and the Republicans are taking away needed agencies, raising taxes on the middle class. This is this most corrupt administration in history. Don't get me started on all the lies.

lalxx@co

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

I agree with the administration that entering this country illegally is a crime. Many horrible crimes have been committed by people that shouldn't be here. The administration has worked within the confines of the law. The past administration didn't enforce the existing laws and it's putting our services for existing citizens at risk and stretched at the very least. That's not right. So many people are just upset because it's Trump. I agree that listening to him speak can be frustrating but his policies are good. Many of the protesters are against Trump, not the policy. They'd be against anything he did, Obama and Clinton deported more people than Trump but you didn't hear anything about it then. Trump Derangement Syndrome has to stop.

benxx@ms

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

We already have Independence Day! We have bigger, real issues to deal with, but folks are so busy looking the wrong way, the real problems are occurring elsewhere (like magic or sleight of hand)!

marxx@ho

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Trump is turning our democratic government into to an autocratic one, and it has to stop.

ingxx@ho

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

Just a bunch of paid protestors supporting criminals. Completely un-American.

trexx@ao

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Trump is breaking the law and not following the Constitution. Maybe if Republicans realize they can be voted out of office, they will do something. This is disgraceful.

jkhxx@sb

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

I don't see President Trump as a king and I don't think he sees himself that way either. He is just trying to keep this country safe and bring it to its best. He's taking decisive actions that need to be made.

ddmxx@ao

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

July 4th is our no Kings Day. If you don't like a law write your Congress representative.

bobxx@wi

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

If you are here illegally & wanted for a crime, you need to go! Unfortunately, many are politically ill informed or just not willing to understand the "cultural Marxism" agenda and its forces in play to change our country.

jimxx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Donald Trump should never have been elected. His ego, his belief in the "yes master" way of life, have made it impossible for him to accept other points of view.

grixx@ya

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Trump is trying to overthrow the Constitution and make himself a despot like Putin. He needs to be stopped.

lynxx@ya

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

People need to find something to do instead of interrupting everyone else!

annxx@us

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

We elect a president, not someone who is taking action with no regard to the law.

kevxx@co

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Because the 2025 agenda needs to be stopped and eliminated.

mlbxx@ms

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

No one is above the law or the U.S. Constitution.

chaxx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Donald Trump is attempting to become an authoritarian dictator and destroying democracy.

maixx@ho

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

Support Pres Trump.

kalxx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

We need to fight to keep our democracy. Trump & his minions are trying to turn the US into a dictatorship.

kmexx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Our democracy is at stake due to the current behavior and decisions of our president. With little checks by the second branch of our government, our freedoms are being removed. We citizens look the other way when faced with direct threats to our freedom, we are in danger of repeating history. Instilling fear in people and making a group out as scapegoats for other's problems is a classic move of an attempt to destroy a democracy. Pray for us all. This is a significant moment in our history as a country.

motxx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Donald Trump is a fraud and is abusing political power for personal vendettas. I don't know how anyone can defend him as moral!!

jenxx@ms

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

I believe in our right as Americans to free speech in a safe, responsible way.

linxx@ho

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

We are trying to save our country from corruption and politicians who are only out to pad their own pockets. Illegal immigrants are a slap in the face to the ones who came here legally - they don't share the same rights.

jjlavxx@gm

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

I don't think most people even think they know what they are protesting. The media has them against Trump, period, but they don't understand why.

vlixx@gm

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

We elected President Trump. Let's see what transpires if we would just leave him alone and do his job. Study the outcome.

romxx@ho

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

No one person, in the UNITED STATES, has the right to decide what is right for the rest of the country. We didn't agree to a monarchy.

nroxx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

It is our Constitution right and civic duty to protest injustice, and corruption, and government overreach. Our government is denying Constitutionally protected rights to people.

tdixx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Sadly, we elected a delusional President who truly has no clue about what's truly good for our country. Changes need to be made to curtail the power of the wealthy and poor management of some government departments. But this President is trying to justify and make a name for himself at the expense of hard-working, boots-to-the-ground working people and at the expense of those in need of real support. He is truly shameful. "No Kings!!"

jesxx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

It's the only way to let our voices be heard. Love it!

lynxx@gm

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

We voted for change from what was happening. We need to give it time to see if the changes are what we want vs what we perceive is going to happen.

kolxx@ho

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

Why do people support the breaking of our American laws? The burning of our American flag? Not support deportation of those who have raped and killed Americans???

mdmxx@gm

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

Accomplished nothing. We don't have a king or anything close to a king.

vicxx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Trump is acting like a mad king or dictator, ignoring our laws and making everything about him. He doesn't care about everyday Americans one bit. Power like a dictator means everything to him.

becxx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

I support the impeachment of Trump!

kbuxx@ho

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Our President is acting like a 2-year-old throwing a temper tantrum every time someone speaks out or votes against one of his policies. He is not representing all of the people: only the chosen elite.

nrsxx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Think it's your right to protest.

jayxx@ya

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

We will do everything possible to stop the authoritarian government and save our democracy. It has to be stopped NOW! The people have spoken.

carxx@ao

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Just as it said NO KING.

webxx@co

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

We should all be sick and tired of a fascist regime right here in our country, breaking laws on a daily basis.

lamxx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

I want Trump and his administration to know just how many Americans disagree with his new policies and how he's going about enforcing them. I am a part of the silent majority!

mjhxx@ao

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Our government officials both locally and nationally need to know what the people think of the current government.

jasxx@gm

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

President Trump is not a King, this stupidity is completely unwarranted!

cpoxx@ao

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

I support the right to protest peacefully. I do not agree with No King but they had a right to protest.

ambxx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Something needs to be done about the terrible direction our country is moving towards.

rvstxx@gm

πŸ‘Ž No – I don’t support them

We have no king. WE elected a President.

nodxx@ms

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

I am proud that people are taking to the streets to protest the looming loss of our constitutional rights! I believe President Trump truly wants to be a dictator, just like his idols of Russia, North Korea, China. We can't stand by and allow this to happen.

smdxx@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

We have a right to speak up when we believe that our rights are being diminished or the rights of others are being diminished or when court orders are not followed or delayed.

cca@gm

πŸ‘ Yes – I support these protests

Trump is a disaster--worst President in my lifetime. He doesn't care about anything other than himself and has no interest or concern about America's history or future. The protest was a way of showing that, and it was a wonderful outpouring of like-minded people showing solidarity in their opposition.
