I've been to over 35 anti-tRump protests from 2016-2020, 2024 - present and I always feel very strong and empowered and they will NOT scare me and I will NOT stop!!! Yes, tRump/ MAGA has driven me more insane than I was before I ever heard of him but it is a fight that must continue for me. I really can NOT stop speaking my mind and showing up in person. It is my disposition. My first protests were at Washington Sq and in Philly in 1979. I was only 17 but I knew what had to be done for myself and my country. I will continue...they only make me stronger when they try to stop me!!!!!!!
