in droves. The Hands Off protest was unusual in that many senior citizens who are GOP constituents showed up and they are pissed off. Usually senior GOP voters don't care about most issues, like abortion, gun control, climate change, etc but now that THEIR Social Security and Healthcare are in jeopardy they decide it's time to protest and voice their concerns.
