(522 posts)Back then I joined indivisible right by my house. There I found people I could ask the dumb questions and listen to people that I still see in my mind. My group had a old woman come in and tell us that this was exactly the way the germans did it. and she knew from personal experience it was a very moving short speech she gave back then. Recently I asked about her and she passed away a year after she gave her speech. I will always remember it.
I also plan on attending any protest I can. but I am going to have a couple of rules since I am getting older I dont want to get hurt. I plan on always leaving before dark. I won't be on the front dealing with the police. I just want to be one of the numbers. Last time ( the first term) I knew someone who knew the guy that was running a food truck to give food to the protesters I gave him money so he could keep doing that. I will do something similar this time. I think there will be a better prepared resistance this time and a lot less being surprised all the time. One of the things I saw on twitch was a protest in portland where they started using leaf blowers to blow the tear gas back on the police it was quite effective. Again I personally won't be using it, but my new leaf blower may end up at the protest.
