Rachel Maddow talked about the record-setting West Coast Fighting Oligarchy rallies and connected them to the protests that are happening daily in the United States against Donald Trump.

Maddow said about the Fighting Oligarchy rallies:

 Huge events like these are definitely saying something about how the country feels about this political moment and about Donald Trump. And I will say, just in terms of the media, the sheer size of these events and the fact that most of them are in red states means that they're starting to get a ton of press and a ton of attention from the mainstream media.

And that, of course, is starting to rattle. Everyone in politics on all sides, which is always fun to see. But I'll tell ya, seeing those big events and seeing all the press they're now getting is fantastic to watch, but look around because when it's not an event with thousands of people, which obviously is gonna get a lot of attention, what we're still seeing is thousands of events.

Thousands of protests. Protests that are happening every day and in every state.
