I was dressed for work (in a uniform that would have allowed her to complain to my employers if I had started arguing with her) and I stood just a few feet away from her while I was looking for the place I was supposed to work at. I pretended to ignore her. Almost nobody was around in town, and the few people who were driving by almost certainly live here and either support her or don't care. She had a big cardboard sign and was just walking around the sidewalk looking serious. Of course I wanted to ask where she was during the protests for Palestine. Why isn't she protesting Trump murdering hundreds of babies just a few days ago? We're all on the same team now, right, libs? But even when they have nothing to lose, even when they can use Palestine as a way to attack Trump, they still stay silent. Oh man oh man, how I wanted to argue with this woman, even though she was like 75. It wouldn't have looked good. I could have asked why Biden didn't fire Trump's postmaster general.

Still have to respect her, in a way, for doing something. She was probably watching MSNBC, got pissed off, felt like she needed to do something, and decided to go out and protest for a bit. How nice to be able to do that with no fear of losing your job or getting your ass beaten or arrested by the police!

There was actually a handsome dude walking around with a camera filming local businesses for some reason, and he spoke to her in a very friendly way for a moment. I suspected that he was working for the local news? I overheard her mention that she would be in a different location the following day. Liberals are asleep and don't want to wake up.
