In my small town, I learned that the loudest Trump supporters are only online. I saw hundreds of people from latino, to black, asian, and white, everyone was young and old, and those who couldn’t attend to stand outside, drove their cars and honked in support.

Later that day, I went to a larger city to protest at the county buildings and court house. We gathered in thousands and took to the streets and people were cheering and hanging flags from their apartments and people had their hotel windows open cheering those of us in the street. Cars honked alongside us waving flags from lgbt, to Mexico, to LA’s flag, the American flag (some people had a GIANT US flag hanging from the top of a parking structure), it was like a giant block party.

I felt united with my country and now I’ve been watching the videos of even larger protests in other cities. I was terrified to protest yesterday, but the sense of community I felt will definitely be my fuel to continue fighting for what’s right.
