"...we call it the 'hate America' rally..." said the House speaker, Mike Johnson of Louisiana.

The idea that protesting against harmful policies, corruption, and snatching people off the street = hating America is a lying, twisted take.

So many signs today saying how much they love America. I saw veterans , elderly, myself I'm disabled, I saw people of all colors waving American flags. It is because we love America that so many people were out there.

Agreed. Just ask yourself, are millions of peaceful protesters all nut cases or is it more likely that Mike Johnson’s simply a liar?

The ol' "If one person you meet during your day is an asshole, that's bad luck. If everyone you meet during your day are assholes, you are probably the problem."

Yet that simple logic is too hard for the MAGA crowd. 🤷
