My dinky town in Redlandia turned out 800+ people. That is about 10% of the entire town.

For the mathematically challenged such as the Donald, that is greater than 3-1/2%. That seems to be the magic number considered necessary to to effect change.

More importantly, across Main Street in front of the hardware store there were 6 or 8 men (all men) scowling at us. The crowd marched up and occupied several blocks along the highway for about 20 minutes. There was one lonesome redneck cowboy across the way yelling insults at us. The counter demonstration (if you could call it that) was less than pathetic.

The reaction of cars passing by was a nonstop cacophony of horns and cheers. I only saw one middle finger salute. All in all I thought it was a great day.
