Along similar lines, I once saw a food review that talked about Peking duck and Beijing, China.
So, there were others that weren't?

"Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex" by Larry Niven. The author was an engineer and wrote the science fiction classic "Ringworld."
It's embarrassing to me that people are so ignorant of their own cultural heritage.
Back in the day, the IWW had their own squads patrolling any protest or demonstration. There were paid bad actors, and locals who thought throwing a brick at a cop was fun. The IWW patrols would make sure there was no provocation to give the cvops an excuse to attack.
I imagine Trump saw himself as being like Valjean; hunted and persecuted for stealing.

No dues or fees; no full time leaders; you are a member if you say you are and no one can say you aren't.
I expect many downvotes.
To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, ‘It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but might as well be.’ It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: ‘if you’re so smart why ain’t you rich?’ There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.

No one has more contempt for Trump supporters than Trump does.
Having a live band playing music during a battle was an actual thing back in the day.
I live in New York, and am frequently near the area where Carrie Bradshaw 'lived' on Sex and the City.
There are tour buses dedicated to that show, going to the shop where the characters buy vibrators and the Magnolia Bakery. The owner of the building they used as her residence had to put a chain across the front to stop people from taking selfies.
I'll reiterate my original point.
Back in the day, the IWW and other radical groups had their own folks in the crowd to make sure that no one threw a rock at a cop. The cops loved to send in bad actors who would give them an excuse to come in.
Some one who throws a brick is putting everyone else's safety at risk. If you really feel the need to fight a cop, go up and punch them yourself. Don't hide behind someone's grandmother and call yourself a hero.
