This is a heavily Republican state. Our particular district is so Republican it makes the rest of the state feel liberal. I will have to confess I have been feeling hopeless and isolated when all I mainly see around me is a tsunami of red hatted MAGAs.
Señora and I attended one of smaller Hands Off rallies at the next little suburb from us, Ballwin. It took place on Manchester Road (old Route 66), a heavily trafficked thoroughfare lined by shopping centers, car dealerships, restaurants, etc. Turn out to this event would have been amazing if it had been a warm, sunny day. It was not. Temperature was in the mid 40s. It was raining much more heavily than was comfortable with thunderstorms predicted. Given that, the turn out was phenomenal. If you are familiar with this street, protestors were lined up on the north side from the 141 overpass to Home Depot, with many more on the south side of the street.
Besides the protesters on foot, many cars were driving by with anti-this-pathetic-excuse for an administration signs in their windows. Many more were honking and waving in support. My unofficial, unscientific survey was that for every car that drove by flipping off the protesters there were 200 or 300 honking and waving in support.
One protest is not going to do it. We need to protest often and in large groups. We need to get rid of tArse and his clown alley of Nazis who are hell bent on destroying our nation.
Finally the promised pictures:
Just as a little side note. Señora kept her streak alive. We can hardly go anywhere in the St. Louis area without running into someone she knows. We ran into several at this rally.
Awesome!
Thank you for the inspiration!
You are welcome
Greg went to one in St. Charles…probably 50 people. He was up till 3am making signs.
A friend went to one in St. Peters – around 200 people.
Yeah, I had not a lot hope for rallies in St. Charles County. They still think Hoover is President.
That’s awesome! Good for you!
