If you ask some, the anti-Trump and Elon Musk protests are saving Democracy. If you ask others, the're burning Tesla stores and vandalizing property. Saturday protest organizer, Michaelyn Mankel describes their objectives, and tells us if anyone is getting paid to protest.
Mankel says their objectives are around concerns with President Trump, Elon Musk, DOGE, and Congressman Zach Nunn are around them cutting social security, medicare, and medicaid despite their claims those benefits won't be removed. She says violence won't be tolerated at the protests, and protestors should not bring Nazi symbols or Hitler-depictions as we've seen in other states. She says they would appreciate Nunn meeting with them, and even mentioned what condtions may cause them to applaud him.
