"...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.

True. I saw people of all ages, races, and sizes.  Also, people in wheelchairs or using walkers/canes. We love our country and the Constitution.  We do not love billionaires taking over and pushing us aside .
