Funny you should say that...I spoke with 3 different shuttle drivers upon my return from DC on Thursday, and they were very excited/happy I went to the march/rally/protest. One even thanked me for going.
There are some great comments on this thread about why so few people are talking about the coup that just occurred.
I am reminded of Nazi Germany. All Germans knew of the atrocities that were ongoing in their country. But they dared not speak about them. They ignored the Nazi regime and kept quiet for their own safety.
And we Americans today are no different than those Germans from 90 years ago. If they spoke out, they would be canceled. If we speak out, we too will be canceled.
Saying the wrong thing right now could lead to violence, although I expect such attempts to keep the peace will ultimately fail.
Normalcy bias.
70% of the population suffers from it.
