14. You're terrified because you know these people.

A protest march isn't the place to feel sorry for them. But you don't want to fear them either. Calculate the "after" hate. If you think that you will be in danger when the crowds disperse and a week from now it won't be safe to go to the store, you might go to a bigger city and expend your energy and frustration there. Trumpers are insane. Logic can't be factored in. You're a "baby killer" is what they've been programmed to think. It's impossible to make an inoffensive sign to them. Hell, they couldn't read it anyway. Your passion and courage are amazing. Stay safe bsm. You are needed on this wall.
