They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

Zohran going on Fox News is really, really smart. Given how many Americans are hurting right now because of Trump’s tariffs and inflation, there are going to be more and more people willing to listen to what he has to say. Even MAGA folks. It’s a huge opportunity for him.
