    This is how you beat fascists, by a demonstration of strength.

    It’s also why a lack of participation is so dangerous for democracies. It empowers fringe lunatics and extremists.

      Frankly more of a fan of just hanging them from gas stations but you know whatever works.

    Colors+ is an LGBT youth center that has been targeted and vandalized before, and the Drag Story Hour has a lot of connections. These idiots are trying to start a fire outside the fire station.

    Outside on Saturday, Colors+ supporters outnumbered the handful of Proud Boys by a ratio of 10:1.

    Not to downplay this, but it’s partially because the Proud Boys turn out was pathetic. Legit just 4 or 5 from what I heard from a friend. That’s all they could muster for their big Saturday morning stand against the Drag Story Hour. Just embarrassing, honestly.

    Of course they were seriously outnumbered, we’re pretty damn good at circling the wagons around our spaces. It was such a phenomenal waste of time for them to even try.

    I was still pretty bleary-eyed and out of it when I saw this headline earlier so I thought it was the other way around and the proud boys outnumbered the pride boys

    Much better news, quite a relief, and more proof that the silent majority is neither of those things
