Even in liberal cities like Portland, Maine, where Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton got 76 percent of the vote, there are some Trump supporters.

On Saturday these fish out of water did their best to make their voices heard and show their alternative view to last week's massive anti-Trump rallies protesting the immigration ban.

As Trump supporter Doug Prevost told the CBS local station WGME-TV :

"I'm just kind of letting you know there's another side to the story. Letting people know Trump has an awful lot of backers behind him."

The footage shows what appears to be only eight people at the rally, and Twitter had a lot of fun with an image of the small gathering (see above).

To be fair, it's important to remember that protests don't always block roads and overwhelm airports with hundreds of people. In liberal San Francisco, where Clinton received 85 percent of the vote, a Dakota Pipeline protest last week was attended by well under 100 people, a small turnout for a city with a population over 800,000.
