An inconvenient truth has emerged about the anti-Trump No Kings protests that swept the nation over the weekend - they were mainly attended by rich, old white people.
That demographic is traditionally associated with conservative politics, but it is increasingly synonymous - which some may argue is because of Joe Biden - with the Democratic Party.
In Atlanta, where the population is predominantly black, liberal attendees who took to the streets on Saturday were mostly white, even though they make up just 38 percent of the city.
At other protests across the country, including in Washington, DC, New York and Los Angeles, the diversity and inclusion crowd didn't appear to attract anyone outside their demographic.
The vast majority of activists - some of whom were seen holding signs likening Trump to Adolf Hitler and ICE to the Gestapo - appeared to be white, privileged and elderly suburbanites.
They included, predictably, Hollywood stars, including Pedro Pascal, 50, John Cusack, 59, Jamie Lee Curtis, 66, and Glenn Close, 78.
The President's deportation policy, a core campaign promise by the Republican that is projected as cruel by the demonstrators, is popular, according to a survey.
Forty-eight percent of Americans agree with Trump's border policy, his most popular behind working for peace in Gaza, according to exclusive Daily Mail polling from JL Partners.
