But when I drive by the holdouts who still have up flags and large signs, I have no emotional reaction at all.

They're impotent, easily ignored at this time. They'll have to initiate any trouble now, and they'll be crushed if they do so.

2. Right. There should not be anyone protesting. Their march is not going to change anything.

I might wind up around where they’ll likely be, but I stay away from crowds of people anyway. If I see anything interesting I’ll post something.

Besides covid I wouldn’t get close to them anyway because I’d hate to increase their crowd size by 20%.

9. Yeah, I don't get all the concern over pro-Trump demonstrations.

The few I have seen of were mild, what is the problem? The victory celebrations were much more lively.

11. Whats the over/under on a Million MAGA March?

I'll go with 200 MAGA's. Best to let them show up without counter protests and show how ridiculously tiny their "movement" us.

its going to happen no matter what we do. But, I would agree that if we don't show up, it will make it harder for the Boogaloo'rs and alt-right to pull off a false flag and then try to hide amongst us.
