People of all walks life are waking up.
I even believe that even groups like antifa are waking up and loosing their members. Their numbers at the violent protests are no bigger than the turnout at a Beto rally.
Then you look at any Trump rally its filled with hope, pride, self worth and bright future in the light.
I stood waiting for a light to cross the street yesterday. I was surrounded by unwrapped MCDonalds straws. No doubt someone took a handful and then just tossed them on the street.
I stood there embarrassed with all the cars driving by, I had this feeling of i'm not a garbage picker, they pay people to cleanup the streets, I don't even have gloves to pick them up. What about the cars its kinda busy in this intersection.
Then I realized I have nothing, I don't live with self pride I feel the world is broken so I start picking up the straws on the sidewalk and work closer to the street and then something happened.
An elderly couple watching from the red light seen me and as soon as the light changed they drove up put their 4 way flashers on and handed me their little car sized garbage bag. I picked every straw up and placed the bag in the trashcan 20 feet away.
This all took about 3-5 mins from me deliberating about picking up trash, to another couple protecting me to grab the remaining 20-50 straws off the road.
I now have Pride in my fellow man and I now know WE ARE NOT ALONE.

How r u measuring this? Seems like a wishful thinking type opinion? U have nothing to back any of this up. The rallies? Djt was packing the house in early 2016 before any awakening even started. Picking up straws? A good deed that is contagious? This has been the case since long before djt ever thought of running. Good deeds have been contagious for as long as we’ve inhabited the earth. This doesn’t mean folks are waking up from all walks of life, you’re being naive, hope porning. Here’s what I see.....I see half the ppl on my and wifeanons FB page with severe tds. I see cnn on every public tv and watch normies lapping it up. I see rhinos aligning for impeachment. I see Bernie stickers driving around in my small Midwest, conservative town.

OP's point is that our unity can be strengthened by sometimes the most innocuous-appearing events.

This is absolutely true but the “main idea” of OP post is that “change is now happening” but as you’ve said, unity can be strengthened and this has always been true, this isn’t a new thing occurring as OP is eluding.
