WAIT, WHY IS THE NIGHT’S THEME “FROGS”?

Last year, Trump labeled U.S. PROTESTERS as “terrorists” and sent troops into American cities.

PEOPLE RESPONDED BY CONFRONTing TRUMP’S FORCES face-to-face… PEACEFULLY DRESSED IN FROG SUITS.

THE FROG HAS NOW BECOME A SYMBOL OF THE DEFIANCE.

  • “YOU CAN’T JUST SIT ON YOUR ASS AND WAIT FOR THE INSANITY AND CRUELTY TO PASS. NO. YOU GOTTA STAND UP AND FIGHT.”

    Robert De Niro

  • "The best way to highlight insanity is with absurdity."

    The Portland Frogs

  • "Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. we are fighting back — lawfully, peacefully, and defiantly."

    Miles Taylor
