There was a pro-Trump rally here in Eugene, Oregon, today. Attendees were be encouraged to bring guns, but urged not to bring Confederate or Nazi flags or anything racist.
My sister and her husband went to see it. They hate Trump. They just wanted to observe.

The video gives a different impression that I got from my brother-in-law. He thought there were maybe a dozen Trump supporters with guns completely overwhelmed by Trump opponents but they're all mixed together and I don't know how anyone can tell. In that last half of the video, you can see a man with no shirt wearing pasties of some sort. You can't see it on the video, but he was also wearing a G string. He was using his whole body as a weapon, offending Trump supporters with his nakedness. The Trump people didn't care that much and he was tormenting the anti-Trump people just as much.
Don't make assumptions about what will upset your opponents. If they're not outraged, you're making a spectacle of yourself for nothing.
The place was crawling with cops. Good idea with all the gun-toting Trump-lovers.
There was one belligerent woman stomping around with a shotgun but nothing happened.
Glad I didn't go.
There was a time when I'd go to political events and I'd be the only one with a camera. Now everyone has a smart phone and your caught in crossfire of cameras. You can't just go and stay out of the way. You're bound to have your picture taken.
