This was a real shot in the arm today and just what we all needed to get through the next few weeks of bullshit. Look to get involved elsewhere too. It really helps keep the anxiety at bay. Even the voicemails I leave Cornyn's office make me feel better afterward.
We had our dozen dipshits. Overall I give everyone an A for dealing with them, like the group of 30-something women all making the sign with the thumb and index finger held an inch apart. The best was the young lady totally decked out in the colors of The Left: black, gray, and dark olive, holding a beautiful illustration of Hitler shooting himself with the phrase "FOLLOW THE LEADER". She just walks coolly past them with the sign held up like a ring girl, and ho lee fuk did it set one of those assholes off. He followed her jawing and she just blew him off. It was great. Only one of the dumbasses brought a sign, written in ball point pen on a folded grocery bag smaller than a regulation 8.5 x 11. Seriously. I walked over kind of close and gave an exaggerated squint. I don't think he caught on.
I am delighted there were so many protests out in the burbs and small towns. That is how we bring attention of this idiocy to people's doorstep. We need the cities to turn out, but kudos to all organizers of the smaller events.
Five out of five stars, would do again
