So I Joined My First Ever Protest...
… along with apparently a LOT of other people! We arrived a half hour late, because Cat was a perfectionist about her “HEAR US or FEAR US!” sign with a guillotine illustration, but that may be for the best as standing for an hour and a half was the best I could do, stamina-wise.
[LATER NOTE: I crashed hard for 2 days afterwards-- but it was worth it!]
Cat was actually worried that there might not be very many people there! I laughed and told her, “Oh, there will be some people there– at least a hundred.”
Our small town had almost 1600 protestors show up!
There were no cops or anything, apparently because no one thought that many people were coming. Also, it was very peaceful and jovial in mood. When we arrived I introduced myself to several people and said, “This is my first protest!” and half the people around us were ALSO first-timers!
It was a constant barrage of people giving us thumbs up and honking their horns in support, too! I counted, during the hour and half we stood in the sunshine, only about 14 to 15 people driving by with thumbs down or flipping the bird. ONE guy actually drove behind us in the parking lots and yelled, “Every one of you can DROP DEAD!” To which the 20-somethings next to me on one side yelled, “But sir! We LOVE you!” He left.
He was clearly in a tiny minority… in a semi-rural area… next to a huge navy base! Granted, we’re not so far from Seattle, but it’s a mixed bunch here, with hippies living next to Trumpers, both with their signs and flags out year long. So– there’s been a fundamental shift.
I kept my head on a swivel and made sure I always had room to run should we get a MAGAt in a huge truck barreling down our line or something, with trees that would act as barriers and so forth. But otherwise, I got pretty relaxed within a few minutes and enjoyed the JOINING of it all, which is so not my thing most of the time, but… times call for something. If nothing else, I’m meeting like-minded people, and that could save my life someday. In the meantime, doing this is helping my mental health.
Next day of action is April 19th!
