On Bluesky in general I've seen two kinds of popular posts on the "hands off" protests.
The vast majority of posts are cheering the protestors - no matter matter how small the protests were. Like "Look at these 50 protestors in this deep red Wyoming county!"
There's been some punching left.
I don't remember a single post stressing solidarity. I can't remember a single post attacking the republicans. If there was snark or sarcasm in the comment - it was punching left.

Bonus punching left post that I just saw.
WHAT GOOD THING DID YOU DO? WHAT DID YOU ACCOMPLISH? DID YOU EVEN ATTEMPT TO TAKE ANY POWER AWAY FROM THE TRUMP ADMIN? DID YOU EVEN COST THEM A DIME IN PROPERTY DAMAGE?
Hey, hopefully if they keep it up they'll provoke some dumb hogs into attacking them. That'll be helpful.
