The protests were linked to concerns over personal freedoms and government overreach. Mainly related to COVID-19 mandates and stay at home recommendations.

Supporters saw the movement as a grassroots stand for liberty against government overreach.

    Republicans actually think they are being set free with the removal of government employees.

    Yes. Clinton also gutted government departments… Over the span of seven years. Trump is doing that within less than a month and is doing so much more damage. It’s like watching someone with a gambling addiction budget their monthly income.

    People ARE protesting though. And they are protesting all over the world. I think trump is the first, most hated dictator in the world right after Hitler.

      Clinton’s reductions in government was like dieting and exercising for 7 years to lose weight.

      The current administration is using a chainsaw to cut off the legs to lose weight instantly.
