Protesters continue to give all it takes to send a message to Donald Trump. In a powerful display on the streets of Dallas, Texas, dozens of women, portraying a symbol of oppression by dressing as Handmaids, marched in solidarity against the government. Footage of the striking demonstration was caught on camera and shared on Reddit. As seen in the clip, the group was arranged in orderly rows, marching in unison, while wearing long red hoods and white bonnets reminiscent of those featured in the Hulu dystopian series, “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
As they marched with their hands clasped in front, a solemn song played in the background. Although the group was silent, the women let their dresses and a powerful sign board relay their message to Trump. The protesters in the front row carried a banner with a note that read, “We the People were not meant to kneel.”
The demonstration evoked a range of emotions from social media users. One netizen gushed, “Chills and I love it.” A second user pointed out that “The Handmaid’s Tale” was becoming a reality. “We are closer to this reality than people are willing to admit,” noted the user. “Well done, ladies. F Trump and his regime.”
A third observer appeared to compare the rally with the military parade and concluded, “Better formation than the rump parade.” A fourth Redditor cheered, “Let’s keep it up y’all! F**k fascist always and forever!”
Another comment praising the women read, “The protesters were on top of their game.”
The demonstration is part of the “No Kings” movement, which has taken several states in the nation by storm, including a small conservative town in Palmer, Massachusetts. Despite the town’s traditionally strong conservative leanings, dozens of individuals gathered in support of the movement.
As The Nerd Stash reported, the crowd, comprising a sparse number of people, included local community members and school teachers who gathered at Dunkin’ Donuts and CVS, holding various signs.
However, the rally sparked several comments from Democrats online. One person penned, “As I can’t read the signs, I’m going to assume all the cheers are for the army anniversary… and not to acknowledge a birthday.”
Another supporter praised the impressive turnout by the residents. “I drove through Belchertown twice. The crowd grew to twice the size on my way back,” the comment read.
Hundreds of thousands nationwide participated in the protest. Although there were unfortunate reports of casualties, it is hoped that the movement’s purpose will be achieved.
