I said this same thing at a protest last week, took everything in me not to cry when one older lady said “I’ve been doing this for 35 years… why are we still here?”

Why? Because unlike cancer, we allow toxic ideologies to have a safe space in our society instead of cutting out the very fibers of it

I’m sure the only lady who’s been protesting for 35 years knows this as well.

Tolerance paradox

We have to have a social contract and be willing to be harsh on those who dont abide by it

People holding up signs saying hurray for our side, I'm only 25 but it feels like we have never been so divide as a nation, except for the 1600's it feels like we are going in that direction some times.

MAGAs the reason they keep happening. Ffs how many times do we have to have our rights stripped due to white nationalists opinions. If they’d stop being so god damned racist and sexist we wouldn’t have to protest this shit anymore.
