I assume this crowd would take that as a given, but you never know!! Assumptions=very dangerous things.

So I'm not the only one noticing that!! Heather Heyer got mowed down in Charlottsville, DeathSantis makes it illegal to block traffic protesting. Unless it is the MAGAt protests in Florida, they can block streets. Suburban Moms, Leafblower Dads, BLM, Washington DC Churches, head busting, rubber bullets, tear gas, weird black vans.

Our State Department of Health Director had freedom loving types show up at her home, Michigan they were gonna drag the Governor out and try her and hang her......"legitimate political discussion."

I'm not saying "don't protest, don't be loud and proud, don't NOT demand your rights........just proceed with caution people, the minority is NOT accepting rule by majority. Or the Constitution. We have been here before, and it wasn't pretty.

Civil disobedience is not civility, but when a government oversteps its bounds, civil disobedience is the only logical way to act.

Sorry, Joe, but if the USSC strips a basic human right from half the population, you can expect a fight, a serious fight.

Civility? No way in hell. This is WAR.
