that people would give of their time and energy for the greater good.
These rallies were extremely well pulled together - big and small. It required the effort of many. What was really great about today's protests was that anyone could organize one.
I went to a small local protest organized by a regular woman in the community. She handed out small flags to most of the crowd. She ran out of flags. She didn't expect the close to 200 people who showed up.
When she handed flags to us, we chatted. She told us she thought she might get as many as a couple of dozen people. But she wasn't sure if it would only be her and a few friends.
She must have organized it in recent days. I found out about it late last night. We had planned on going to the biggest demonstration in our state, at the Capital. Instead, we made the decision this morning, to go to the smaller protest a couple of towns over. I am so glad we did. It felt good to be a part of making this small protest bigger.
There was an incredible camaraderie. People were making friends, and exchanging numbers. We knew there would be more protests to come.
There was a wonderful array of home made signs. A young boy had a sign on cardboard which read: "Trump is SUS". We had to ask what it means. It means Trump is "suspect". We got a laugh out of our lack of knowledge of today's slang. Many of us who attended were older. Many of us are in this to save our Democracy for the next generation.
This is what Democracy looks like. This is what grass roots looks like. There was no evidence of George Soros. There was no need for a billionaire's money.
All that is needed is the heart and creativity of a woman of retirement age, who cares about her country and cares about Democracy...and the reinforcements from an equally concerned citizenry. She deserves the tip of a hat.
MuskRAT cannot fathom the creativity and selfless effort of others. He has no concept of empathy and community.
We made four signs. The one that seems appropriate to end with is: "This is not efficiency. This is a Crime Spree". Criminals like MuskRAT and the Grifter in Chief can't fathom the spirit of "We The People" that brought people together today.
