My local iteration of the event went off without a hitch. Minimal confrontation, no violence, and an all-around peaceful event. The sign I had printed, which I carried around, now hangs on my bedroom wall.

Some photos:

A peaceful protestor (me) sits in the grass on a curb, propping up a foam board sign with a dark blue shoulder strap attached to it on both sides at the top, which is faced away from the camera.  He wears a light blue hoodie made from a light, breathable fabric and lightweight muted-blue pants.  His head is turned towards  the camera, and his face has been replaced by that of his fursona, a border collie named Sparkler Erickson, or Spark E. for short.A street in a smallish town is lined with peaceful protestors, carrying signs denouncing Trump's autocratic regime.  Faces, business signs, and street signs are colored over for privacy and safety.A Trump impersonator carries a scepter with a hamburger on top and wears a McDonald's french fry container as a crown, a McDonald's cape, and a comically long red tie with "No Kings" written on it.  Faces, business signs, and street signs are colored over for privacy and safety.The sign I carried in the protest now hangs on my wall above my computer desk.  It reads: "We are not a kingdom; we are a democracy!
