Report from No Kings Rally in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. (Population 10K) [View all]

Fifty-Seven people gathered at busiest intersection in town, the highway and road to Walmart.

It was a joyful occasion. Young and old folks. Lots of laughs and handshakes.

Mostly positive reactions from cars driving by. Always thanked from our group with shouts and applause.

We were mooned by one woman going by in the front passenger seat of a pickup and got one shout of "Go Back to Mexico" (there were no Hispanics in sight). Our group responded appropriately with gales of laughter.

It was encouraging. Maybe - just maybe - folks in this red county have had enough.
