"No Kings" demonstration in Jim Thorpe

It rained.  It was cold.  Didn’t matter.  Over 200 people came out to let the world know that U.S. is not the place for kings or for presidents who want to act like kings.  We had well over 200 people (we counted), most of them with posters they made.  We had people in chicken costumes with chicken tacos, people in Trump masks, people in clown suits, old and young, and (I loved this), tourists who were visiting Jim Thorpe joining in the protest.  


Approximately fifty percent of passing motorists approved of the protest, honking their horns or giving us a thumbs up.  Approximately 40 percent did nothing.  Maybe 10% yelled nasty words or gave us a thumbs down.  Not bad for a deep red county.
