It reminded me more of a Mardi gras parade than an actual protest. Meanwhile we’re in active shooting warfare with Iran, we’ve invaded Venezuela while threatening Greenland and Cuba. All while we’re trying to sell out Ukraine. It feels like we’ve gone beyond threatening to send a gold spray painted boot to our state senator, or calling Trump names.
Maybe I’m just expecting too much, but I was hoping for some kind of reaction to the events since the last no kings protest. Instead I found dwindling attendance and the same very long winded low energy speakers. It’s probably just the best deep red Mississippi can muster, but it’s disheartening.
IDK about your local protest. I hope it went well, but mine felt like a joke. Watching the government be torn apart over the last few months and their message was ‘vote in local elections.’ it feels like we’re fighting fire with paper.
What about the headline isn’t true? Literally every word of it is backed up.
