NO KINGS protests in unlikely places in Iowa

I am guessing farmers are getting really pissed and so are regular citizens. Hope it can translate into some victories next year.

Places like: Sac City, Algona, Clarinda, Crestn, Red Oak,Spirit Lake, New Hampton (isn't that Chuckles home town?), Independence as examples. There has been about ten new ones from when I last looked a few days ago:

Benton County, VERY red, but we're getting out there.

We thought about going to one of the bigger ones, but we feel like we need to show that we are here and we're not giving up.
