In early March 2025, I went to a veterans' protest as a supporter of veterans. At least historically, military types are often conservative. Probably a lot of the folks who attended were former Republicans, just going by the numbers.
It wasn't your stereotypical lefty crowd, that's for sure.
Although it was peaceful, it's not like I was scared for my safety, the level of (justified) rage was off the chart. And when somebody mentioned Schumer, the boos were deafening.

There were cries of "Coward!" and "Traitor!" I saw someone say on another platform that Schumer is reaching out to media allies to plant articles making his leadership seem inevitable. I can believe it, from an article I saw yesterday saying "the base" wants Schumer gone. They wanted to characterize it as one faction of swivel eyed loonies. Which is as absurd as Stephen Miller yelling that DC protestors were all "90 years old" when everyone saw the vast, diverse crowds ourselves.
