It feels like a Dean scream to me.

Don't be concerned with the media. People who are on the right side know better. People who are on the right side will be supportive. Also, thousands of protesters engaging in a grassroots shutdown of a fascist is an entirely different thing from a Dean scream.

Maybe if a counterprotest like this had happened in the early 1930's in Germany, we wouldn't have had a WWII or Holocaust.

Trump and his ilk do their crap with zero pushback. The fact that the people of Chicago said "enough is enough" gives me, and hopefully others, hope. Sometimes you have to stand up to the bully.

maybe i'm just not seeing it. i see people all over holding trump accountable.
have to admit, tho, that rachel up there thumping the soapbox on this made it impossible to sweep under the rug.
