Went to a Labor Day protest at the pier in Huntington Beach.
Two hours of camaraderie, chanting, and lots and lots of beeping and thumbs up from the passing cars. Saw exactly 1 pro trump sign and hundreds and hundreds of pro democracy/anti fascist signs.
Passers by were overwhelmingly in favor of the demonstration, and one trump-humper (with an appropriately weird messages on his truck) circled a few times, flipped us all off and then drove away.
Two of us discussed politics with a pro-Trump woman (who pushed her little doggy in a baby carriage) who tried to tell us that the polio and small pox vaccines we had as kids did nothing good and killed thousands; we laughed. There is no appropriate response to that nonsense.
My parents were terrified of polio and refused to have children until there was a vaccine. And when I was a child I had a neighbor who was seriously scarred from small pox, which is an almost non-existent threat today.
There were two people with signs on their hats:
The constitution is NOT a suggestion
If your vote had no power they wouldn't try to take it from you
The signs ran the gamut of “no kings” “pro-union” and “anti-trump” and I’ve attached a few pictures. There were dozens more that were good but this is a good sample.

That is not a protest, it is a hate rally.
They are what they claim to oppose.

I can think of dozens of things I would rather do on a holiday than going to a protest. I don't get enough time off as it is.

That wasn't a protest, it was a display of willful ignorance.
