A solitary counter-protester trudged up and down the east side of US31 on Saturday morning, carrying a flag. The flag was emblazoned with “TRUMP 2024! (expletive deleted) Your Feelings!” Over 600 people gathered on the west side of that same road to peacefully demonstrate to the wanna-be dictator whose name was on that flag that they preferred democracy, the constitution, and the rule of law to his version of 21st century authoritarian fascism. Their signs did not contain profanity. Their signs showed their concern for the future of the country we love! Their signs clearly stated that they do not want war with Iran. They know the billions of taxpayer dollars being used to kill civilians and blow stuff up would not make us safer and could be better used to reduce healthcare or childcare costs. They do not want to pay $4+for a gallon of gas. They are dismayed that the ill-conceived tariffs in conjunction with stagnant wages, have made it more difficult to make ends meet. America is finding out daily that the words on that flag truly represent exactly how little this regime of chaos, corruption, and cruelty cares about the American people who voted them into power. That vulgar statement was originally intended to be used to “own the libs” by his cultish followers, who have been propagandized by right-wing media to believe that he can do no wrong. That profane statement is now a response to us all as he demands his name on public buildings, government programs, and even our currency! |
On deck.... Everyone I talked to on the west side of the road was frustrated that they could not do more to stop this takeover. They were especially frustrated with the cowardice and complicity of our current US Congressman, John Moolenaar, who refuses to advocate for anything that would bring relief to his constituents. Voters told me that they would readily vote for change in November. They also said that they would reach out, welcome, and listen to family, friends, and neighbors who may never have voted for the alternative candidate in the past.
Thanks to all who joined us along US31 yesterday morning. I am so proud of the people in this community who refuse to sit by and watch our freedoms being taken away by a cabal of incompetent fascists led by a dementia-addled fool. As we start the global Christian holy week (a week that is not perverted for white, Christian, Nationalists, but belongs to all Christians who truly follow Jesus' lessons of love and caring for all people), I hope that you will be able to connect with your family and focus on them and their well-being. We can pick up the reins and get back in the saddle doing the work for the greater good next week! |
