Across Alaska, in communities large and small, people who voted for Kamala Harris for president in 2024 took to the streets as protesters on Saturday. There have been numerous protests like this since Trump was elected.
President Donald Trump has given them lots to protest, including tariffs on countries like China that practice slavery, and countries like Canada and Mexico, which allow and even encourage imports of illegal drugs and immigrants into Alaska. He’s been ejecting illegal immigrant gangsters and returning the rights of girls to compete in sports without boys taking their trophies. Trump has done all that he was elected to do, and in a very short period of time.
The protesters object to Trump trying to stop waste, fraud, and abuse in government.
Some protesters held signs that called Trump a fascist. One child held a sign that said, “Pet kittens, punch Nazis.”
Here’s Anchorage:
Observers told Must Read Alaska that when the protesters got to Town Square in downtown Anchorage, they were faced with a group of vagrant Native individuals who told them to leave because they own the land. A fight ensued. One vagrant was taken into custody for spitting on a protester. By “arrest,” that likely means handcuffs and a piece of paper telling the person when to report to court, and a release.
About 3,000 persons took part in Anchorage, including the one sign-holder who advertised on her sign that this was her “resisting bitch face.” Another person was seen stashing an AR-15 firearm in a tent. Later he got a gas can and lit a bunch of wood and pallets on fire at Barrow Street and 2nd Ave.
One observer noted he was “glad these people are out on the streets protesting and not in the halls of government making decisions.”
Here’s more of Anchorage’s protest, in video:
In Fairbanks, the scene was basically the same, but festive. It was more a social gathering than a protest. Mayor David Pruhs was sitting on the City Hall steps watching the whole thing unfold and even had a cookout going.
Juneau protesters numbered over 1,000 in front of the state Capitol. One man carried an American flag upside down and defaced with black spray paint that said: “Fight fascism!”
In Washington, D.C. Must Read Alaska sources said that protesters included some “furries,” people who identify as animals.
The protests were impressive in numbers in all the major cities, such as Boston, where 20,000 people reportedly took part in a city that voted heavily for Kamala Harris.
Anchorage has a mental health problem created by easy living. A sense of entitlement has been woven into the human psyche. Delusions of self importance and a sense of moral superiority replace sound reasoning and personal accountability. Based on history, it gets worse before it gets better.
They’re drunk on Socialist whine…
You realize there were even protests in Nome, Bethel, Wasilla, North Pole, Soldotna – over 20 Alaska communities.
I wonder how it feels to sell your soul to George Soros? I wonder if they can sleep at night? Of course they can. They have no souls, or original thoughts, or the ability to think anything for themselves. They are liberals.
Lol.
Furries, fatties, and fuglies.
A bunch of Karens.
Lol.
The usual suspects
I was at the Juneau protest. The two abuses I saw of the flag were bothersome. I spoke with a vet about it-they were fine with the inverted flag. I was not.
Did not see a single furrie.
Kamala Harris voters are the stupidest people on the entire planet. IQs below 50.
Totally agree Ellen!
Can’t cure stupid, can’t make anyone see what they choose to ignore. They are the useful idiots of those submarining our country.
Loser temper tantrum. Gotta all be out there ,ven if your cause is unrelated, to make the crowd look bigger
What is wild is that these people don’t seem to have the same energy to protest crimes against children. People should be out in force against Epstein, Maxwell, Diddy, etc.
the people you mention are already charged and convicted. Trump was too but somehow it never sticks on him.
Does anybody else besides me remember during the first Trump administration that the colleges started having classes on how to demonstrate? What the h### are our colleges teaching our kids???? I hope DOGE goes thru each and every college in the nation!!!!!! I have a grandson who quit college just because of the liberal bs the college was trying to push down his throat.
My son quit too …. he couldn’t take all the lefty nonsense.
And he’s not even that conservative.
One observer noted he was “glad these people are out on the streets protesting and not in the halls of government making decisions.”
Unfortunately, there actually are people just like that in the halls of government making decisions. For example, Beavis and Buttheads parents Schumer and Murkowski.
And now Yundt – Mr. Tax the oil companies…
I like the “907 for democracy” sign. Of course democracy for these folks means something completely different than what the word actually means. Democracy for these folks means that their superiors know better and must be unquestionably followed, who cares about who won the last election, gimme my free stuff.
True! There isn’t one Trump voter in that crowd. Trump won Alaska by 13 points.
How do you know that? You could be a Trump voter and still not happy with Elon taking over the government, or erosion of the rule of law, or bullying of everyone who doesn’t agree with Trump. I think there are definitely Trump voters who are having second thoughts.
I would vote for him a 4th time.
I’m retired union.
I have $ on Wall St (retirements)
Screw these Gov leeches
Didn’t we recently have a democratic election, a guy won, the democratic aspects of our constitutional republic worked fine. What here is actually being protested?
Obviously some of Alaska’s finest on full display…
These are the people who gave us our Assembly and school board.
Yep
I drove by. It appeared to be mostly older women, their adult daughters and children. Most seemed to be unhappy. I can see why: their gravy train is going away. They have a right to protest and I’m glad it was civil.
This country has been warned repeatedly about letting our guard down!!! We have played fast and loose with our God given freedoms. We are at the brink of a social collapse and the results are these mentally deranged people running the streets! It’s time to take this seriously. Stop worrying about hurting people’s feelings. Speak your mind. God Bless this country!
Speaking their mind is what the protesters were doing. And you are all in favor of that right correct?
The MRAK Intelligentsia is doing a Yeoman’s job covering these Commies
Laura Loomer and others are posting details of these Hands Off protests on X. Loomer documented bus loads of people being brought into DC wearing Palestinian garb, holding signs that were distributed to them by organizers, while hollering “free Palestine.” One video of a protestor showed he had no idea what his sign or the talking point literature meant. Not sure if Alaskan protestors were paid to be there or not but it would not surprise me.
A small minority of mentally challenged people protesting the actions of a President that the overwhelming majority of Americans elected to do exactly what they are protesting. They represent a political philosophy that is dying because of the abuse their mentally challenged President did to this country. They haven’t learned the lesson of their crushing defeat. It isn’t are country that is in trouble now but their efforts to destroy our country and Democracy.
Well, I sure do hope they all feel better now. Going to be a long four years for those wretched tortured souls. lol….
The good news: This event was on a Saturday where most of these nut-jobs aren’t working on Saturdays and they basically wasted their ‘own’ time.
The bad news: We’re surrounded by these nut-jobs!
I bet most of these misguided defenders of corruption don’t even have jobs … other than getting paid to protest by George Soros.
Can we please educate these folks on what fascism is? On what “nazi” means? The National Socialist Party of Germany were the nazis. More lefty projection – those protesters are nazis…
“when the protesters got to Town Square in downtown Anchorage, they were faced with a group of vagrant Native individuals who told them to leave because they own the land”
Awesome! White outside, down states liberals, always extremely annoying and prejudiced, have locals, the original people whose culture and economy they destroyed, kick their rears!
Doesn’t get better than this! Direct action by locals. The GOP congress and Begich aren’t going to do anything to solidify the essential revolutionary changes Trump is making EOs for.
These “vagrant” Natives have done more to support Trumps’ agenda than any of our “GOP” in name only, federal and state legislators will ever do.
I protest Trump, and laugh at his dopey and disturbed followers everyday, and I’m not even a Democrat. Haha!
Did you get your Covid booster this year.
Nvm – we all know the answer.
Ah yes. here we see the typical cult minion. Note how the unthinking creature draws upon the cartoonish caricatures provided by its cult as an opiate, a comfort in the face of blaspheme. Bless its little heart.
Viva la resistance! This spectacle is as revealing as it is hilarious.
Resistance Bitch Face is this movements poster child.
Thanks Suzanne, great catch!
It’s my opinion that a majority of folks with sound minds and intelligence are understanding the international and national effect of a decent country led by a mentally deficient supreme leader requiring obeisant fealty and the handpicked supporters that pledge complete allegiance only to this singular person. This irrational tariff deal has woken sensible people up to the fact that there is no predictable outcome to the spiraling out of control behavior as he spectacularly loses on an international scale. And, that the welfare of the electorate is of no concern to him.
Wow Mrs N.
I didnt know you and I had so much in common.
Your opinion is nearly exact of what I was expressing 4 years ago.
What a strange coincidence?
I am really happy that majority of folks stepped up to the plate and took some action regarding the “mentally deficient supreme leader” in 2024.
Rest easy Mrs N there is only 3 1/2 yrs to go.
It seemed like an eternity for me as well.
“Protesters are demanding that the admin stop all efforts of eliminating government waste and fraud.” sums it up. The protesters abhor any common sense efforts to reduce national debt, stop fentanyl and human trafficking, and bring companies back to USA, stop the Ukranian war, etc.
There is nothing common sense about what is happening now. Protesters are not against eliminating government waste and fraud. Who would be? We all pay taxes. We are against the destruction of our government by Musk and his doggie boys who know nothing about what they are wrecking.
Of course there was a large turn out. These mutants are the ones most likely to be affected.
The gravy train is running dry.
Embarrassing. Imagine having so much free time that you can walk around Anchorage with other freeloaders looking like immature children.
The Democrats are constantly ranting and raving and babbling about Democracy, while nowhere in our Constitution is it mentioned. But, in Article
IV, Section IV the Constitution guaranties the States “ A Republican Form of
Government”. It also guaranties The States protection from invasion and domestic violence. So, to You Democrats I say, SCREW YOUR DEMOCRACY.
What are the odds this ‘parade’ will be run through facial recognition software and the participants tagged with a lower case ‘subversive’ in their folder?
At this point, the government has us all labeled as subversives. After all, we voters are the biggest threat to the worlds balance of power and those in power in the United States. That’s what makes us the target for divisive rhetoric, misinformation, surveillance, threats, prison without the benefit of due process, and violence.
Can anyone explain why this is a pro-testable event and why it is so bad?
What other tariffs is Trump missing.
I would invite anyone to email our elected officials with this. May not be the most elegant writing for a knuckle dragger like myself but you will get the point.
Dear Senator/Congressman
Subject: A tariff that all(well most) American workers would fully support.
Tens of thousands of American have lost jobs because their employers have relocated help and support centers overseas to reap the benefits of less expensive labor costs.
I am suggesting a surcharge tax on all companies based in the United States who use overseas call centers for remote support. It would level the playing field much like currently imposed tariffs on imported goods.
Any phone or computer chat session initiated from within the United States requesting help from another person located outside of the country would fall into this purview.
I have seen reports that these protesters were paid to do this in other parts of the country. I wonder how many of these in Alaska were paid to protest or organize ?
That is complete BS. Surely you have friends and neighbors who poured out to protest here as well as across the country. Talk to people who were there. This isn’t even real reporting.
I wager that even I, who am not wealthy, paid more in income taxes last year than most of these protestors reported in earnings… except for those protestors who are government (or former) employees or employees of concerns dependent upon government fraud and waste.
Actually “rent a mob” participants are paid well, along with travel expenses.
The irony is these mobs are paid by NGOs who launder public grant monies to influence politics and intimidate the public.
The core BLM and Antifa rabble were all paid by NGOs.
None of these made for TV events are real, grass roots movements.
You sound terribly insecure. I’d wager you feel the need to compare yourself to others often, and indulge in these self affirmation rituals with regularity. Lack of a strong sense of self or personal identity is what seems to draw people to Trump more than anything else, it’s even more of a draw than his transparent lies.
Funny!! Fascists protesting against Fascism!
Ironic isn’t it? We want our way and we want it now. Give them each a quarter and tell them to call 1-800-CRY-BABY. Hopefully they will all hold their breath until they turn blue.
Largest turnout in have seen in quite some time for anything downtown. I drove by with my finger in the air. Twice
How brave of you.
You think physical violence would be a good idea?
It would appear that those taking Uncle Sugars easy money, are in fear of being kicked off the dole and are think they are making a difference. Time to look the way of the unemployed feds, get a Job.
What makes you think people at the demostration were on the dole? Generally people on welfare aren’t politically active. This was a cross section of Americans who are horrified at the direction of this administration. Talk to some of your neighbors who were there.
Boxes of rocks!
There is no doubt that the Democrats are experts at getting large crowds. Too bad they can’t get smart ones.
Nearly 10% of Alaskans at over 20 locations turned out to express their displeasure with the direction of this administration. Across the nation more than 5 million did.
You cannot dismiss them by all the names you call them here. These are serious people who see the role of Musk, the destruction of our government, the turning away from the role of law, the trashing of the judiciary and strong arming law firms, colleges and the press as Constitutional issues. I fear we are losing our country and obvously so do a lot of other people.
Talk to your neighober who were there to get a better idea of what people are thinking. This “paper” is really just an opinion piece – no attempt to find out what people were really concerned about.
And ask yourself – what is it about Trump that inspires such anger? Has any other president been so disliked?
Yea …. they (hippies) went nuts over Nixon, who was elected twice (by the American people)
He tried to win our worst war (that Dems started & funded for 10 years)
Failing that, after 1 year, he ended it.
He opened up China to capitalism …. signed the Clean Air Act & the Clean Water Act.
Took us off the gold standard & was a good family man and they HATED him passionately.
Because? ….. his guys were caught spying on Democrats.
That produced their hatred?
They did the same to Reagan, constant protests
As he won the “Cold War” without firing a shot or using a nuke.
But they liked Bush ….. oh wait, they hated him too.
This hatred & protest of Republicans may be new to you, but it not new.
These are the same hippies and their children & grandchildren.
They don’t like losing or people not doing what they want.
Thankfully they haven’t resorted to the burning looting and violence displayed during the “summer of love” where everything was “mostly peaceful protests”.
