I just returned the from #NoKings protest in #Logan #Utah. I stayed for the entire 2-hour event and estimate 350 to 400 people were there, it was probably more.
In a county of about 150k people, the vast majority Trump and MAGA supporters, it was an impressive sight.
Writing down my observations and thoughts now - will share more soon.

The rest of your are very cool and we hope you'll be able to restore sanity and democracy sooner rather than later 🙂🤷♂️
