2. I think these protest are being driven by economic interests

churches, restaurant owners, anywhere people congregate for group activity.

You don't see anyone protesting from the supermarkets, or the gas station, or the post office or the hospitals.

It's people whose incomes are adversely effected by shutdowns.

Preachers are the most prominent because they sermonize and motivate their flocks. Masks in church or closing churches of course diminishes attendance and reduces revenue from the collection plate.

This is pure and simple economic - financial motivations. It has nothing to do with anything other than money.

Just looked at Skylar Bennett's Facebook page. The guy is legit insane. nt bbernardini Dec 2020 #1
