When I saw the protesters and read some of the signs I thought to myself "What a bunch of brainwashed people." Clearly, I was looking at people who still watch the fake news shows like ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, CNBC, FOX and MSNBC, because the signs were nothing but fake news propaganda talking points. Intelligent people don't watch fake news anymore, but I guess we're not all intelligent people. Sometimes I forget that, because I'm surrounded by intelligent people, none of which were at this "protest".
I went on my weekly morning ride yesterday on the SMART train to visit the Farmers Market in Larkspur. The return trip to Santa Rosa at around 1:00 brought me to tears. The protestors came onto the train, and we sang songs - "We Shall Overcome," "This Land Is Your Land," and "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?"
It was very sad. The signs made no sense ("hands off our education" when they are literally giving education back to the states? Complaining about the "oligarchy" while "hands off my 401k"??) Clueless, privileged, boomer progressives, protesting for more fraud, waste, corruption, open borders, war in Ukraine, hollowing out the middle class and printing money. Crying to the choir, making zero difference in their silly little bubble - the whole thing a literal virtue signal - no, 'a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.'

Great coverage - thank you.

Hoping for our country to heal!
