Whatever the case, there's no question that this year is a different planet from last year in terms of middle fingers and agitators. The banners are the same innocuous messages like RELEASE THE FILES and HONK FOR DEMOCRACY and VOTE, but MAGA is dead as a doornail, y'all. We made plans for next week's protest, and I have a neighbor who might be joining me at that one. I hope she can make it and experience the joys of being a bridge troll. Onward!
