No Kings: A very polite liberal tea party
FALLS CHURCH, Virginia — The baby boomers waving American flags and the Vietnam Vets hats were one thing.

The crowd was well behaved, and they cleaned up after themselves. When they booed a Cybertruck (because Teslas are bad now), they felt a bit bad about it.
