Today I went to #NoKings protests in downtown San Jose and in Sunnyvale along El Camino Real, which appropriately enough for this event means the royal road.
I saw a lot of people, and talked with a few. The variety I saw gives me hope.
As people drove by, many shared their support by honking, waving, showing signs and flags. I tried to wave back and share a thumbs up with those who did.
I realized that some in the cars might not otherwise be able to join us. Some had small children. A few had handicap placards. One passenger appeared to have Downs syndrome; I could tell he was glad to be there, and I'm glad he was too.
Everyone I saw is an American.

@johnlogic Same experience in my suburban NorCal town. So many folks drove by honking and also showing signs of support! To your point, unable to stand on the strret but still participating. A small amount of anger from Trump supporters. I feel sorry for them at this point. They know deep down they screwed themselves when they wanted to screw us.
