The No Kings protest at the main town intersection in Ridgecrest, California today attracted about 288 peaceful protesters with protest signs and American flags. There was fairly continuous supportive honking from passing vehicles.
This is remarkable, as Ridgecrest is a red town adjacent to a Navy base, in the red county that elected Kevin McCarthy.
