I had already gotten the night off to go to a team dinner, so I went to this protest. I was a body, and I was glad to be counted because there wasn't anything better I could do. I want to have done everything I can reasonably do about this situation.
My coworker did it with a lot more flair. He actually brought a giant American flag. He was not the only guy with a flag there! An old guy complimented him on it and mentioned that he thought too many protesters ran away from the flag during Vietnam.
Also, my coworkers informed me about the "no fap" right wing movement, in which men who are angry that women aren't surrendering their bodies to them are somehow getting back by…not masturbating? This is a super fucked up future.
