Describe the writer's experience at a protest and their thoughts on the people participating in the protest and on the presidential candidate being protested against.
I had hoped no one would show to protest - to not engage trump and give him what he wants ,but when I saw that people were going down, I headed down-- game was on.  I made sure to leave my legally carried weapon - solely for self defense,  at home so as there not being any doubt about anything from anybody. after walking a mile into a gathering group, I did see the sense of responsibility people outside felt and wondered why the man inside running for president didn't feel that same responsibility to be a good citizen.  and then seeing the people going in..looking so normal..i thought , this country is so screwed...we truly don't know our collective ***  from a hole in the ground. it was watching the village idiot  leading the blind.
