Yesterday I participated in a non partisan 2 hour protest type gathering to "open our county" in our small town in WA State.
Around 100 participants with signs and flags at a 4 way light in a busy part of town on a beautiful sunny day. A few wore masks, most did not. The organizers asked everyone who were not family members to stay about 6 feet apart, along sidewalks on both sides of the street. Most signs said "Open us Up" or "Let everyone Work", a few talked about Tyranny and the Constitution. No pro Trump or con Inslee - very non political.
Most cars going thru the intersection beeped or gave thumbs up for support, but several things really shocked me (and they shouldn't have, I guess). At least 40 cars drove by with angry looking, mask wearing people who were alone in their car with windows rolled up. About 20 were shaking their heads and pointing to their masks.
A few people gave thumbs down. 26 people in cars actually flipped us off, several double handed!I know the exact number because a boy around 11 there with his mom, actually tallied them on the back of his "Tired of Fortnite, I want to play Little League" sign.
Crazy - did not realize there were so many angry middle aged women in town. Of those giving thumbs down or flipping off - only two were men.
Anyway, more contact with others than I have had in months and I have to conclude, I haven't missed much.
I hear you, qanon1776. I used to live in Lewis County, Chealis/Centralia area, Wa. I remember in 1996 I was with my wife and my brother and his wife, along with many others, protesting Bill Clinton as he arrived downtown Centralia to give his campaign speech. They kept us and every other protesters a few blocks away from downtown, they wouldn’t allow us immediate access because of anti-Clinton signs which was something only democrats could get away with. But I remember how nasty many democrats were that passed us on their way to hear Clinton. The rudest and nastiest were mainly the women and some old men that were still stuck in the 50s believing the democrats were still the same party.

I am not surprised at this fact about middle age women. Think about who supports Hillary. It seems ever since POTUS was elected, this particular group, women, have a higher than average rate of TDS. I am not finding it among males as much as females. To me, and I'm a free thinking female, it shows that too many women think with their emotions instead of logic and facts. FYI on the Myers-Briggs I come out as a "thinker and judger" LOL
It's true. Take the game of chess for example. Way back when, the chess championships were open to men and women. No women would progress through the tournament far enough to compete for the championship. So they created a woman's division back in the 50's...... And we all know why. Emotions. It is what it is.

LOL - not sure where I would come out on that. In my head, I know that a lot of women supported Hillary. Our county has had less than 30 COVID cases and Zero deaths. To see these women so angry and blatantly disrespectful to their neighbors who are out of work and the effects it has had on our town really threw me.

I used to live in Broward - lived there about 12 years from late 90's to around 2010. It's practically the entire DNC down there - disgusting fucking liberal Democrats. The kind that want to tax the shit out of you, tell you how to lead your life and then want you to vote for them every couple years. Like everywhere in America, there are nice folks of all stripes and dickweeds who want to lord over you.
Those old 'granny bitches' are just part of the compost heap that an otherwise beautiful area is lousy with. IAMthePie is a patriot behind enemy lines down there and he is doing the Lord's work by being respectful, cheerful and engaging with the only message that will save America.
Kudos to him.

Yup. I've had PLENTY of interactions with police down here. Mostly because of my position that I've taken in regard to personal sovereignty. I drink in public. I smoke pot in public. I jaywalk. I do whatever the fck I want. And as long as I do not harm another human being in my actions, I cannot be arrested. Sometimes people call the police on me. When they arrive, I smile, and in a friendly voice say "Good evening, gentleman! How may I assist you in keeping the peace today?"
They immediately recognize they aren't dealing with your average Joe. Nobody says things like that to them. So they bring up the "infraction" and ask me for my ID. This is where I tell them "I'm not interested in doing business with the company you work for. I'll tell you my first name, my last name, and my date of birth. But you cannot use my name in a commercial manner."
This has happened several times. They have all been respectful, friendly, and they courteously respect what I've said. I've only had one cop who was a real dick. They run my name into their database, no warrants for me, wish me a good evening, and that's it.
The asshole Illuminati cops all work supervisor type positions.

Update: Just talked to to old ladies that happened by. (I'm very friendly).....:)
They were both wearing masks, so I told them about 68-69 Hong Kong flu, which killed 100K Americans. No social distancing, no masks, no economic shutdown. Right in the middle of Woodstock, where 400K people partied like crazy. So this is nonsense.
They were hit with cognitive dissonance, because all they could muster was light head nods, but nothing to add.
So the one woman says "Just remember to vote the right way this November"
I says "Absolutely. Trump all the way!" And pumped my fist.
They were horrified. I think one or both gasped. 😂
So the other one says "If I had my time back, I would have shot him" and makes a gun sign with her hand.
So I says "That's a horrible thing to say! I thought the left was tolerant?"
More cognitive dissonance. No response.
Finally, she says "Trump loves himself. He doesn't love his children"
I say "There is nothing wrong with loving yourself. How can you lead a country if you don't love yourself? You don't know Mr. Trump, you've never met him. You don't know if he loves his children or not. How would you like it if he said that about you? He's never met you."
No response. She mumbles something incoherent because she's wearing that stupid mask, and they both walk away.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is real folks.

Bbbbbbbut the elderly vote conservative. Friggin myth. The eldery worry about themselves and their gubmint bennies. They vote Dem
[–] MeanoReno 2 points -2 points 0 points (+0|-2) ago
The elderly used to vote conservative, but that was a while ago, it was the WW2 generation. They’ve all just about died off by now and the elderly we have now come from a more selfish generation and mostly vote democrat (Not all, but unfortunately the majority). They vote for Dems thinking the Dems will benefit them more.

How quickly the leftist resorts to violence as a remedy. Hitler, Mao, current Chairman Xi and an American Democrat use violence as a first remedy. Because of their violent nature, I don’t see a way we’ll fully repair the US or world without some degree of civil violent conflict.

Voting is dumb

They really believe biden would be better?
Honestly, how can that level of intellectual dishonesty be contested?
I would be speechless.

Thanks for posting. I always like reading about your anecdotal experiences.
On the cop, he says that shit and may even believe it...but there's probably only a two percent chance that he wouldn't arrest you for playing on the beach. So until these cops starting taking their oath seriously, fuck them.
[–] IAMthePie [S] 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
I've already went swimming on the beach. The cops "caught" me. No arrest. They just asked me to leave. I did because they didn't see me until I was out of the water, and was leaving anyways at that point.
