A "Make America Great Again" march in support of President Trump drew about 2,000 people to Bolsa Chica State Beach, including protesters.

At one point, a fight broke out and a protester pepper sprayed several marchers, including the organizer. Three people were arrested.

Earlier in the day, march organizers said they were hoping for peace.

"I'm not just here in support of Trump, but our vets, military, police officers and emergency responders,” said Darlene Savord of Tustin, one of the organizers.

There was a counter-protest and fights broke out:

One of the organizers of the rally got hit with pepper spray:

No Russians, huh?

Well your President won't be having any of that to be honest

 

[Arkeband]

It's sad how our troops and veterans are used as props for these clowns.

 

[Greatest Ever]

Welcome to the Uncivil War.

 

[Sou Da]

No Russians, huh?

You'd think so but that's likely "no communism"

 

[jacob armitage]

Doves and Trump propaganda seem like such a juxtaposition.

 

[Slayven]

It's sad how our troops and veterans are used as props for these clowns.

It is a shield from all criticism

 

[Master Yoshi]

That picture with the doves is really something.

 

[kess]

It must be depressing if your entire identity revolves around one incompetent man.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

See that someone already broke out a "Keep America Great" sign. Can't believe Trump managed to make America great again after only 2 months.

 

[Username1198]

What a bunch of dumb moherfuckers. Hiding behind vets, fucking cowards

 

[Slayven]

Don't these protestors have jobs?

 

[Bubbavelli]

such a beautiful image

 

[dave is ok]

Why do these people always have doves?

 

[Tagyhag]

Yeah that's the OC alright, they should move out of California, all this diversity must be killing them.

 

[Jeffolation]

The hats make it easy to know what team everybody is on.

 

[Oersted]

Did they pick Orange County on purpose?

 

[Spenny]

Yep, sounds like my hometown. Glad I left that shithole.

 

[RinsFury]

Imagine how much trash these scumbags left behind on the beach. Disgusting.

 

[Chumley]

Disgusting scumbags.

 

[Souldriver]

What a mess, Christ.

 

[neurosisxeno]

such a beautiful image

Love that reaction. Also can't figure out if that's supposed to be a Russian flag on her cheek or something else...

 

[Surfinn]

Is 2k the biggest yet?

Poor doves. :/

 

[Host Samurai]

Ironic how Orange County flipped blue this election. Obviously these people are not from there.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Wow, every Californian Trump voter in one place.

 

[Username1198]

Is 2k the biggest yet?

Poor doves. :/

Prob more than his inauguration.

 

[Armaros]

Did they pick Orange County on purpose?

Orange county is famously Republican in a deep blue state.

 

[Rayis]

Those poor caged birds deserve better than to be handled by such hateful humans

 

[Rebel Leader]

Why do these people always have doves?

They're white

 

[DarthWoo]

Imagine how much trash these scumbags left behind on the beach. Disgusting.

You mean they're still there?

 

[Hellwarden]

What is the center right image at the bottom?

The one in between the Arabic and Sickle and Hammer?

Looks like a needle?

I can't figure out what the one on the far left is either.

 

[Dazzler]

Really shitty thing to do to claim a Trump rally is also a rally for the troops and first responders

 

[jblank83]

This type of rally might fly inland, in the more "country" areas of California, but even in "Republican" areas on the coast, they're going to run into trouble.

California is truly multi-cultural and proud of it, especially Southern California.

 

[RinsFury]

You mean they're still there?

Maybe we'll get lucky and the tide will take them out to sea. Would feel had for ocean getting polluted like that, though.

 

[Yekshemesh]

Huntington Beach? Yup that and Costa Mesa are about the only place I can think of where a pro Trump rally would be the safest space possible for them.

Prob anti vaxers.

Looks like an anti-vaccine symbol?

No drugs

 

[neurosisxeno]

That was bugging me too. No orange flags or something? Also why do the slashes alternate in direction? That annoyed me.

 

[SeanC]

There was one in Hollywood too I walked past.

Dozens of em.

Dozens!

Pipe and needle, no drugs.

Anti-vax plus anti-legalized marijuana, I'm guessing, or else just a general "no drugs from bad hombres" sentiment. I can't make out what the thing on the far left is.

 

[jrush64]

Wait, the OC is a republican place? That's kinda disappointing.

No China, maybe? Their Cheeto in Chief is always screeching about the Chinese.

 

[neurosisxeno]

Wait, the OC is a republican place? That's kinda disappointing.

Orange County is notoriously hard for Democrats to win. It's got a very high income population that votes with consistency, and also a lot of white people. It's basically concentrated "Lower Taxes for the Rich" territory. They had a whole story arc in the West Wing with Sam running for a House seat in Orange County.

 

[kess]

The Republicans lost that county for the first time in eons last election, actually.

 

[AuthenticM]

The bird in the bottom-right corner of the first pic is cracking me up.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

I live in the OC. Fuck the OC.

Needle and a crack pipe, no drugs/opioid addiction.

 

[akira28]

shouldnt she have someone that she can at least entrust the bullhorn to? She has to have a death grip on it, even while she's blind and in pain.

Wait, the OC is a republican place? That's kinda disappointing.

I was never surprised by this and always thought it was typical. I mean, how is OC portrayed in the media that would indicate otherwise?
