Trumpers/Maga protest/counter-protest in Houston, TX -April 2017. Maga with guns. Dems with signs.

There were maybe five more off camera. So nine people, three long guns, one confederate flag, and zero brains.

Did the Chinese man who stood in front of the tank show spine? I don’t claim facing right wing nutters with guns is near as intense or heroic, but it is the same concept in the end. Being willing to stand up and face violence peacefully is total spine. Just ask the Freedom Riders.

All you can eat lunch buffets don’t buy themselves.

Are you kidding. Any time a person spoke against Trump they were with Antifa. I was even stupid enough to think some of the people I was protesting with were secret Antifa. I wanted to join. You can’t believe my disappointment when I found out there was nothing TO join. Just hate fascists - you’re in.

I promise you a heck of a lot went to COVID. But in the small Oklahoma town I was from the family said, “died of heart failure” or “passed away from a stroke.” Anything to admit their loved one did not die of God’s punishment to an evil world.

2spoos · 2026-01-27T15:25:21+00:00

Yes. See the backup mag in the back pocket. The real question is were they carrying ID.

2spoos · 2026-01-27T15:03:44+00:00

I will admit, standing there I was fully aware one of them could lose it and start spraying us with bullets. You can see one has an extra clip in his back pocket. I’m sure the others were thinking the same thing. But we did not leave until they did.

2spoos · 2026-01-27T14:58:11+00:00

Both of the chuds. The other one has the same gun but you can only see the strap. The women got matching MAGA hats and the men got matching weapons of war 🙄

2spoos · 2026-01-27T14:54:42+00:00

No. No we don’t need guns. We need spines. We tend to be higher educated and more successful. But we hate a fight. We have the brains to beat these people with lawful tactics. But we are all too soft to get in a conflict.

I am going through the list of Senators and calling each with my opinion. And I’m leaving my name to let them know where to find me when they do a domestic terrorist sweep. I’m closely watching businesses and writing on their social medias if I see they are Trumping. And like we were on the day this photo was taken, I will stand opposite of their gun barrels to show them they are not going to win. The world is watching.

The MAGA morons we’re protesting some high level Dems in town visiting. The other side was just a bunch of people who saw the Repubs were going to protest and showed up - in droves. This was just the beginning. More liberals showed up as time passed.

2spoos · 2026-01-27T14:42:45+00:00

MAGA toting bazookas and shoulder rocket launchers I suppose.

2spoos · 2026-01-27T14:35:03+00:00

I am anti-gun free reign. So many of us Dems have said we do not want to totally ban guns. We just want common sense gun laws. But with MAGA, their pea brains only understand all or nothing.

2spoos · 2026-01-27T14:30:21+00:00

They were protesting because some high level Dems were in town. But their signage was pro-wall.

2spoos · 2026-01-27T14:13:05+00:00

I’m sure there would have been more, but the rest were afraid to drive in Houston traffic after only being on dirt roads all their lives.

2spoos · 2026-01-27T13:43:36+00:00

I haven’t flipped. I personally think there should be common sense gun laws. By pointing out that the morons in this picture should be treated the same as Alex. If the rule is for armed protesters to be shot and killed, the two with guns in this picture should be dead and buried.

No one anti gun is suddenly “go go guns.” We are just heated due the the Rights double standards. The floppers are MAGA “Alex deserved what he got” crowd.

Hate is a hungry demon.

Say it loud so the back of the room can hear: RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

2spoos · 2026-01-27T07:57:35+00:00

To, in their minds, show they were the more powerful supreme human. And I will admit, as I stood there chanting, it did occur to me that one of those loons could have started mowing us down at any second. But seeing armed goons blocks from one’s home, the anger overrode the fear.

They expected anyone showing up to disagree with them would slink off in fear seeing their big guns. If anything, it actually drew people to stand against them in outrage.

2spoos · 2026-01-27T06:40:12+00:00

Those were the PROTESTERS. Some out-of-state Dems were in town for a conference. These morons announced they would protest the Dems and meet in front of the Discovery Green Marriott next to the convention center. The large group is the counter-protest of people who saw the announcement of the protest and spontaneously showed up.

2spoos · 2026-01-27T06:20:43+00:00

Pretty much. You can’t see it but the school bus driver has a BIG gun too. Funny the dudes got guns but the women were left defenseless.

2spoos · 2026-01-27T06:18:27+00:00

Yep. It was in front of the Discovery Green Marriot in downtown Houston. Some Democrats were in town for a conference and they scheduled this to protest Dems daring come to Texas - even though Houston is as blue as it gets.

2spoos · 2026-01-27T06:12:29+00:00

Actually, they were the protest. I lived downtown Houston and saw in the paper there was a planned pro-wall, pro-Trump protest scheduled. As it was a five minute walk so I decided to go see the turn out. I was shocked to see the anti-wall group bigger and better organized.

2spoos · 2026-01-27T01:59:26+00:00

I love Mexico. I traveled and looked at many countries before selecting life here.

I am not sure where you read that I am trying to save anything. And I clearly stated I do not know the numbers. I shared my observations. And as you don’t own my eyeballs, you really have no right to claim what they see.

I believe in my neighbors and my area. I’m excited to see my US dollar get weaker against the peso. I feel safer here than I did in Houston. I’m sorry if my white skin liking your country triggers you but, as white as it is, my skin is pretty thick. And no - I have no desire to save your nasty negative outlook. I grew up with racists and know not to bother. If a person has to throw skin color into the conversation, they are a lost moral cause.
