trying to make was that the anti-choice people were in our faces every weekend for years and they got their way. The county I live in had always voted Democratic for president, not this time in 2024. We have to make ourselves heard, like putting musk stickers under the word stop on stop signs, so they read "stop musk," organizing small weekly protests, where our voices, information, thoughts, etc. are made known to the regular people who only watch Fox news or no news as they drive by.
I worked in education for close to 25 years, (10 years as a certificated teacher teaching 2nd grade full-time) the school board, school site councils were being taken over by religious right wingers in the 1990's where I live. It was individual teachers who stood up to them. The school site council wanted to stop Halloween parties, costumes, but it was left up to the individual teachers to handle their classroom situations. The schools got more and more conservative about what you could do or could not do.
People drive every where, since they don't read the newspaper and the MSM is worthless, we have to educate them somehow. A small act of Resistance, protests, stop musk-trump on rural stop signs, multiplied and all over the country, hopefully, grows and changes some minds to see what is really going on. When I asked my husband if he remembered the war stickers on stops signs, he said, "Oh, yeah, they were everywhere."
