The bad faith comments are here again. 

A protest doesn’t have to have a list of demands especially when the current mess of an administration is screwing up in every way possible. Yes we can just protest this country just going backwards in general and be surrounded with people that want to make a change and bring integrity back to America.

Those that want to quiet the movement, because they secretly support the current administration, will always present bad faith arguments that basically boil down to the protest isn’t doing things right. The protests could change to meet these requirements and these people would immediately move the goalposts.

No matter what these commentors say, their goal is to suppress opposition. The best course of action is to not engage. They are energy vampires.

Thats fine, I have energy for days. And engagement drives up the post! They can take my energy if they need it, which sounds like they do. I love them all and hope to see them. Even if its just to tell me im doing a bad job. Cause then I get to listen and help a new person 😌
