(Lander, WY) – Around 150 protestors lined the south side of Main Street at Centennial Park Saturday afternoon for the “No Kings” rally in Lander, where they donned signs showing their displeasure with the Trump administration as passersby honked their horns either in support or in disagreement.

They said the cars were parked there before 10:30 a.m. by a man who later drove by on a side-by-side screaming obscenities.An SUV and two trucks were parked on the south side of Main Street in Lander from before 11 a.m. until the protest finished at 3 p.m. Protestors claim a man came by yelling obscenities and threatening them if they’d touch his truck. h/t Carl CoteNancy Ebbert says she was approached by a man in a side-by-side who screamed profanities at her and threatened protestors not to touch his truck parked in front of the protest. “I believe that most people are very good people,” said Ebbert. “I believe that we have been deliberately divided… People need to understand that politicians don’t care about us as individuals.” h/t Carl CoteZuko Bunny sniffs the camera at the protest Saturday in Lander. h/t Carl CoteStephen Snell and Shay Mowry stand with a sign at the “No Kings” protest Saturday in Lander. “I’m a person who believes in the public good. And that includes services for people who are struggling,” said Snell. “The public good includes not starting wars that don’t serve the safety of the public, and it seems like the Iran war does the opposite of that.” h/t Carl CoteShay Jimerson and Nicole Wagon stand with protest signs in Centennial Saturday. “The Constitution itself makes our treaties binding federal law and that needs to be respected,” said Jimerson. “He says he’s against immigrants, but everybody here is an immigrant here except native people.” h/t Carl CoteSteve Jones stands with a Lady Liberty Costume at the protest Saturday. “I am tired of higher inflation, higher gas prices, grocery prices, higher unemployment,” said Jones. “I think that the Republicans and Trump are just letting us down.” h/t Carl CoteCarol Smith and Gina Baldwin stand with signs on Main Street Saturday. “I really feel like we try to remain respectful in our conversations with people who don’t agree with us,” said Smith. “We don’t drive by and flip people off or yell things.” h/t Carl CoteAmy Skinner stands with her “Human Kind be both” sign. “I’ve still been flipped off a few times, but we’ve been met with a lot of honks and waves, and it feels lighter and more agreeable than normal,” said Skinner. “I still want to see more people out here, and I’m still looking for moderate Republicans to stand up with us.” h/t Carl CoteGriffin Lawrence and Kristen McDeabitt stand with signs at the “No Kings” rally in Lander Saturday. “I came out here because of the rise of fascism, loss of voting rights, threats to public lands, unnecessary war,” said Lawrence. h/t Carl Cote
