Labor Day Protest Report from Huntington Beach [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2025-09-01
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.
Passersby 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.
The
signs ran the gamut of “no kings” “pro-union” and“anti-trump” and I’ve attached a few pictures.
