ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
I got there kinda late and just wandered around, I'd guess there were maybe a few hundred people spread down the roadside, which seemed pretty good given that there were quite a few other protests in the vicinity. This is a blue area, but even so, the support from people driving past was overwhelming. A number of people were holding "Honk if you support democracy" signs and there was SO. MUCH. HONKING!
Here are a few pics of some signs from the protest -- I asked most of these folks if I could take their pictures, but I thought it might be prudent to crop the pics to hide their faces anyway.

When there are protests that big and that many, I guess they become unavoidable.
