So Leftist organizations backed another “No Kings” anti-Trump rally nationwide on Saturday. Fox News reported that about 500 groups with about $3 BILLION in revenue backed these protests, which went not just nationwide, but worldwide.
Unfortunately, the Left is capitalizing on the ongoing infighting among conservatives / Republicans.
In Josephine County, Oregon, of which Grants Pass is the county seat, Republicans have historically outnumbered Democrats, and still do by a healthy margin. Yet, this latest “No Kings” rally produced the biggest crowd yet for these rallies, and a large number of this crowd was very likely Democrat.
The powers-that-be on the Democrat / Left side are attempting to show a huge groundswell of anti-Trump / support for their cause as the “mid-term” elections in November draw closer.
The rally itself was not necessarily unusual, and from what I observed–peaceful. What began to strike me though as I walked through and got video, were some of the signs people were holding, which ran counter to the nonviolent vibe. Click the video link at the top and you’ll see what I mean.
There was almost no conservative / Republican opposition to the rally, as many were attending the Fourth Annual Patriots’ Conference nearby. Longtime local conservative radio host Bill Meyer gave the opening address at the conference. Hat tip to local podcaster / YouTuber Mike Jones for recording this and other important local political content. Every city and town across America needs an alternative media presence to combat the typically one-sided reporting that we are constantly inundated with.
I will say that cities like Grants Pass, Oregon need to wake up before they lose everything that has made them stand out. Oregon is a deep blue state, and without major pushback, the Leftist governance coming from Salem (the state capitol), and Portland (the state’s largest city) will continue to affect and infect Southern Oregon.
Ronald Reagan once famously said that “freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” This quote has perhaps never been so true in America is it is today.
We ALL have a part to play. I’d say, let’s get to playin’ it!
