Meanwhile, in Williamsburg, VA, I had a grand time with 4000+ of my closest friends protesting the demolition of democracy and celebrating the resilience of the people. (At least 11 million nationwide.) The demonstration was roadside, and 80% of more than a thousand passing vehicles shouted and gestured support for the protesters. Two - that's right,  only 2 - voiced disagreement - one "rolled coal" and the other sped past while making a rude gesture.  I've never seen more veterans and active military gathered in one place, along with all ages and kinds of people. It somewhat restored my hope that we can survive this attempted coup of a "presidency".
