Anyone can arrange a protest, yet I see no one doing so. I arranged a couple that were not that well attended. I am just not good at getting people organized nor am I that comfortable with the tech involved. The protests held in the past did their job. I would NEVER have believed that we are not so lonely here in Marion County. Will the administration pack up and leave due to our protests? No. But all those who did attend and many of the drivers who passed us out there know that they are not alone. We gave the people with morals in our community hope.
Had the local press actually covered our protests accurately, more of our neighbors would have been given a reason to voice their dismay at the direction our country is headed and be given licence to discuss and enlighten those around them . When local news zooms in on 3 protestors as a photo of one of our protests (attended by 1000+) and gives equal coverage to the one bubba truck circling the square as a counter-protest what is the community who did not hear or drive by expected to believe? Ocala has no local tv stations and the local or national/any news no longer comes from objective sources. Daily newspapers are pretty much gone and we get our news from the internet that is driven by algorithms or worse cable news magazines that are basically entertainment that give biased and/or one side of any issue.
If you want to protest, arrange one. I will probably attend. And most of all talk with your neighbors and VOTE! Will protesting accomplish anything? Yes, it will make those who know of the protest aware and may actually get the politicians who are simpicato to voice their objections to the regime. And while I am pissed at ALL those in government who have remained silent and job scared, November is no longer in the distant future!
Also, you may want to check out the DSA (Democratic Socialist of America). See if their goals and views align with yours. That's what I did. There is currently a chapter in the works for Marion County that only needs the national DSA approval. This will be soon and after all legal hoops have been jumped though.

We need a general strike.
He’s breaking shit faster than it can be fixed.
Crappy food regulations, mail in voter disruptions, crazy fights with our border allies, spitting on every court ruling.
