I am proud of our country.

Proud that we had such a huge turnout of citizens speaking our minds against Trump...

We just need to keep going, keep pushing, and reclaim our Democracy.

I live in Pittsburgh and we had a big rally there, but I went to a smaller one in the South Hills area of Pittsburgh. About 1,000 at that one I hope the outlying areas get counted into the mix.

It was great. You look around and think "I'm not alone", look at all these people. I made sarcastic comments which I apologized to people around me and one lady said, "don't apologize I love it".

It's also funny, when we first got there I saw one guy and another guy and girl walk by together, he had a Trump flag over his shoulder. I was like "oh no". He walked by and I never saw him again, he just vanished. MY DREAM is he heard Congressman Deluzio speak and the other two speakers speak and was like, "damn, these people are not so horrible. nothing i heard seems bad, maybe ive been lied too. perhaps I should go home and do some research" and he dropped his flag, looked to his 2 friends and said, "my heart is just not into this". Then I woke the hell up. LOL.

That said, he didn't look at all spirited. Just kinda sauntered by with his flag and then vanished. It was really odd.

NOW, earlier in the day there was a Pride Event and some lunatic religious guy kinda crashed that, but nothing bad happened. In fact, he was funny in a cringe way.
