It was the day after Trump's inauguration. God, Peggy could barely even think about it. Today there would be many peaceful protests, and the Schuyler Sisters were going to New York's. They were also bringing their boyfriends. Also Lafayette and Hercules Mulligan.
Now the group of seven were spilling out of Hercules' van. All seven wore pink hats, made by Hercules of course, and carried signs illustrated by John, who had put aside his turtles for the occasion.
Angelica carried one that had the popular words: I didn't come from your rib, you came from my vagina. Eliza, true to form, carried one that read: Love is more powerful than hate. Peggy's, per Johns begging, bore the picture of Trump being eaten by a giant turtle and said: Turtles eat orange pond scum too.
The others were good too. John's said: Black lives matter, Alex's, Immigrants are welcome here, Lafayette's, You build a wall, we'll tear it down, and lastly, Mulligans read, President Twitter, pussycats eat birds. John had drawn a cat with the Twitter symbol in its mouth for that one.
The seven disappeared into the crowd, and soon they began to march. The tide of people swept them along as if on an invisible current.
They held their signs proudly, and chanted along with the crowd. Several people asked to take pictures of their signs (much to John's delight) and it was a day they would remember forever.
700 thousand protesters in New York City,
700 thousand protesters in New York City,
Hillary won the popular vote,
Hillary won the popular vote,
In the primary we wished for Bernie,
Thought he would make things better surely,
But we've got Trump so rise up!
They will tell our story
This administration won't win any glory
So rise up!
We will fight for this land
but we need you to lend a hand
so rise up!
Understand?
We need to rise up! Rise up!
Just a little parody of the beginning of Right Hand Man, you can tell my political views from this, if you don't like them, well too bad. To quote Lin: "I don't wanna fight, but I won't apologize for doing what's right!"
