We are here in Houston, Texas, right outside of the Super Bowl stadium.
And there are a bunch of anti-Trump protesters out here.
Let's go ahead and talk to some of these guys and see, you know, what brings them out here and what's their beef with Donald Trump.
So do you want to tell us what your problem with Trump is?
No open-ended questions.
What brings you out here?
That's an open-ended question.
How is that an open-ended question?
Are you part of the Antifa, yes or no?
I am anti-fascist.
So, why are you not wearing a mask then?
I didn't know that was a requirement.
So, why do you not like Trump?
Why do you think he's a fascist?
I don't think that Trump is a fascist as of yet.
He's very fascist adjacent.
Proto-fascist, but there are fascists lurking in the shadows in his administration and also a large number of his supporters as well.
And that's where the real threat lies.
So you're not really completely against Trump, it's just you fear that some of his followers might be fascists?
I'm completely against Trump.
The only thing that I might agree with Trump on was no TPP. That's about it.
A broken clock is right twice a day, as they say.
That would be the one thing that I agree with Trump on.
Do you agree with gun rights and protecting the Second Amendment?
Absolutely.
Well, you know, Trump agrees with that, too.
Like I said, twice a day, right?
All right.
Thank you very much.
Let's go see the next one.
Ma'am, why does Donald Trump have to go?
Because he's a misogynist.
He's a racist.
He is against allowing good-hearted, wonderful people into our country.
I believe he is a sociopath.
He's narcissistic.
I believe he has severe mental health problems.
He is absolutely not fit to be the President of the United States.
Did you vote for Hillary Clinton?
I did not.
Did you vote for Bernie?
I did not.
Did you even vote?
I did.
I wrote in a vote.
Because I do not believe that the Republicans nor the Democrats are the answer to the problems for the 99% in this country.
We need a party of our people, of the 99%, and we need to take some of the wealth that the billionaires...
So are you a communist?
Do you believe in communism?
I believe in socialism, yes.
So you think that, you know, the majority should be able to just leech off of the earnings of others?
Clearly, you are not educated in what socialism is, because that's not what it means at all.
Isn't it a tax?
You know, socialist countries, they tax the income of people a lot.
I mean, they have very high taxes, and that money goes to the government, and then that goes back to people and, you know, paying for health care and other things like that.
But it doesn't always necessarily mean that it's the right answer, and, you know, the people who are working hard.
Should they be getting that chunk of their money taken out so somebody else can decide what to do with it?
They're having a chunk of money taken out, but they're benefiting because they have affordable housing, they have health care for their families and themselves.
How many people have you talked to from other countries that are socialists?
I don't know people in other countries, and there really are no good socialist governments right now.
I mean, Cuba is probably the best example I could think of.
You know that in socialist countries, they don't have constitutions, they don't have bills of rights like we do.
We have more protections that are afforded to us, so you're willing to just kind of scrap that and, you know, go for socialism?
I'm not saying that at all.
A socialist government...
There would be a constitution.
There would be a legislature.
There would be a parliament.
And our representatives would be held accountable by the rest of us.
Not like it is now.
Now it's held accountable to big money and corporations, right?
All right.
Well, thank you very much, ma'am.
So what brings you out here today?
We are here because we want to say it's not just tear apart the families.
I will not think it's just the wall and the border.
So you're worried that some people who came here illegally are going to have to leave?
My son is an American citizen.
I came here like 15 years ago.
I paid my taxes.
I have no criminal record.
I'm not a self-trained person like a criminal.
All right.
So some pretty enthusiastic chants here.
We will keep you guys updated on this as these protests
