Surely those people speak for the millions and millions of protestors.
Between this and the need for the SAVE (the pedos) Act and antivaxxers and the dangers of immigration and Muslims, I’m starting to wonder if MAGAs stuck their fingers in their ears and yelled LALALALALA during every math and statistics class.

But I do need to call one thing out... some folks there were either trolling or stupid, carrying Iran regime flags. I'm sorry but if you're anti-authoritarian then don't be carrying the flag of Iranian authoritarians.
People doing that, if they weren't trolling, have fallen into the dumb trap of binaries. It's fine if you don't like Trump and don't like Israel but that doesn't suddenly somehow magically make the other side in this shitty war "good guys." You can't say "No Kings, Down with Authoritarians" and then be hypocritically waving the flag of an authoritarian Supreme Leader.
It's the flag of the Iranian rebels, PP. They are taking back their flag.
Hmmmm... think so?

No rebels are "taking back" the Islamic Republic flag. Some are using the old Lion-and-Sun flag, some are using a plain flag without the emblem in the center, but nobody is "reclaiming" the Islamic Republic "Allah"/crescent/sword/tulip flag.

Lmao…have you been in a coma since January 2025?
You’re actually trying to compare two protesters (who I agree should never have been shot) to thousands and thousands in Iran? Okaaaay….
Yes unlawful impeeders interfering with law enforcement operations
Yes the Iranian authorities did give orders that were not obeyed. According to republicans lethal force should be used.

I understand what you are saying, but I think it’s up to Iranians to choose their leadership and government policies. Not us.
I’m not sure who was carrying those flags and signs.
There were only a handful of Islamic Regime flags at one corner of the rally that I saw. Yes, it's up to the people of Iran to choose their next leadership and government. But don't be trying to smuggle support for a dynasty of authoritarian Ayatollahs into a NoKings rally hoping to gain support. Doing that shows me you missed the point.

Respect.
How do you know he was Jewish American?
Because he indicated it on his sign.
There are lots, and lots, and LOTS of ethical American Jews. I have so much respect for them - it takes a lot of courage to speak truth when a lot of the messaging is to the contrary.
