Costa Mesa, California—Police face off against protesters displaying a variety of placards outside a Donald Trump campaign rally in Orange County on April 28. Some protesters tried to flip over cars, including a police cruiser. Costa Mesa police arrested as many as 20 people and broke up the crowd. The incident came more than a month before California’s presidential primary and was the latest in a string of charged protests against Trump’s quest for the presidency.
As the Kremlin clampdown on dissent has accelerated, and traditional forms of protest have become more dangerous, political satire is moving to the streets.
