      Protest like that were just LIB central lol, yeah fuck that. Women's match and so on Pretty funny and kind of embarrassing honestly how many thought the abortion issue would be a catalyst to revolution . The terrifying reality is that we increasingly live in a mundane yet totalitarian society . No catalyst or singular injustice will break the camel's back towards revolution . I am distraught as well.

        Yeah, as it became obvious the speakers were just there to further their political careers I kept expecting people around me to start yelling, but everyone was full on into it. They even scheduled it on a day when the city was empty so the march was just through dead streets. :deeper-sadness:

          It's pretty surreal when you're in that kinda moment irl huh? Not to sound like an "oh I'm so woke unlike the others" reactionary but it's crazy to have that real They Live moment when seemingly no one else sees it lol .

          But hey to be honest it's awesome you went to a protest (: . Its legit so hard to do that shit sometimes and I back out all the time lol. And eventually hopefully we get some real ass shit someday ha. I hope your day's good (: .

            Yeah, though I've been in florida for the majority of my life so I guess I thought I'd gotten used to it. sigh.

            I've tried a few protests down here and they've all been about this lame, or so haphazardly put together, that I often wonder why I bother. I mostly just go to support and encourage the libs in my life to be more pro-active, but then this GOTV shit happens and blah.
