This is wonderful, Rick. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences! I believe that coming together with shared ideologies of kindness and wanting life to be better for everyone can never have too many downsides that aren’t worth dancing and peacefully fighting for.

Thanks, MTMenace, for sharing your thoughtful reaction. I sure have felt the benefits of protesting and it sounds like you have, too.

Thanks for starting this substack. I live in a small rural town, Hayward, in northwest Wisconsin. It's in a county that is more conservative than not, but not as conservative as some of the surrounding counties. Our protest yesterday had about 70 people and we got far more positive horn beeps and thumbs up than negative, which was encouraging.

Thanks, Barb, for sharing that protest experience. We are having a similar experience in the rural red part of Montana, where we live and protest. The response gives me hope.
