Because 65+ crowd is removed from the struggles of working age people entirely. Especially in the affluent bubble. They have their Medicare and SS and subsidies if poor and if well off are sitting on literal piles of money and don't know what to do with it and obviously not worried about their kids who are going to inherit half of it. Nothing better to do than spend a nice day under a vague and vapid sign like "no kings", because they have no clue what real issues to even put on their slogans or what exactly they are protesting.

You're point is nonsensical and wrong. Thank god anyone (including seniors) is trying to save democracy.

What has Trump done for "working age people"? My taxes went up under his first administration when he capped the SALT deduction, and he hasn't done anything this term that has benefited me.

That’s exactly why Trump is screwing you over. Over 65 and sitting on piles of $$.

Thank you for pointing out why he hates working Americans.

Trump is not my cup of tea. But it’s honestly hard to take the “threat to Democracy” argument seriously when the Democrat nominee received zero primary votes and instead was elevated by palace insiders. While several states took Trump off the ballot which the Supreme Court ruled UNANIMOUSLY was unconstitutional.

The large turnout for our NoVa event was indeed largely white, female, and older but the folks in their cars honking and giving us overwhelming support were very diverse and included a lot of younger people maybe on their way to the DC event and lots of Asian, Black, and Hispanic folks.

Every single person who gave us a middle finger or shouted an obscenity was a middle-aged white male.

I was part of a group that marched down 14th Street to Pennsylvania. It was majority white but pretty diverse (incl. many of the organizers). There were kids, young adults, middle aged and older participants - seemed evenly split men/women. Once we got downtown, I saw more young people in the crowds. Such a great event - very positive and inclusive.

It seemed like most of the people were 65+ and white.

Odd, I thought she was on the ticket Biden/Harris... didn't she get all the primary votes for Biden/Harris?

I hate to disappoint the MAGA poster, but the crowd was extremely diverse both racially and by age. It was not overwhelmingly white or old. It was great to witness and to participate.

Ironical, ain't it? If he was a King, there would be no protests.

'You two are just playing dumb, right?

MAGAs don’t “play” dumb.

We also saw at least two people with strollers / toddlers. So it’s not true that every person there was over 65+.

Nope. That’s not how presidential primaries work in our country. There are no tickets. Remember that Trump did not select Vance until July 2024 he’d won enough delegates. And there were calls for Biden to replace Harris as late as June 2024, which in retrospect he should have done. It’s the Democrats who believe in kings and queens.

So you would have voted for a Democrat if he was chosen during a primary?
