So how many in here went to the protests?

[CosmicCowboy]

Just curious. One of the local organizers said they weren't quitting and would keep protesting until they saw "change". Of course he didnt define exactly what the change was that was enough so I expect that was just shit talking to look "tough".

[GAustex]

Not me no way

For the record I will absolutely say Black Lives Matter but I'm not willing to get tear gassed and whacked with rubber bullets to prove it.

Nope

No way in hell for me during a pandemic. Fucking lunacy. Not even to loot a 2080 Ti from Best Buy.

[spurraider21]

wife and i took part last weekend here. there have been on and off demonstrations the whole time, there was another big one yesterday but we didnt go. we only went to the one, though. i dont know how much sense it makes to keep going at it given everything else

i get what bb said, too. i dont know if i would have done the same if i was still living around and regularly seeing family. but it's basically just the two of us out here in cville, and we havent been engaging in any other social events

[Reck]

I might go to one if A, they continue to do them here and B, cases of COVID dont actually increase.

We are already seeing spikes in many states. New York just opened up completely here. Trains are back up and running full time starting today.

[spurraider21]

might not have been the wisest decision in hindsight, until that point for the last few months i had basically left the house once a week to go to the market and that's it.

Wife and I actually went to an indoor sit down restaurant last night. First time in months.

[ChumpDumper]

The ones here this weekend were huge, peaceful and well organized. I'd go and stay around the perimeters if it was just me to think about.

Not what you did or protest.
Backyard BBQ.
Run, bike, kayak. Mostly alone.

Yell at strangers on ST.
Cant wait for the speech ... just a bit outside of very, very late.

Can we get Thread to write it before Donald tries to say it?

Trump needs to pull an LBJ and realize he is fucked. He is looking at a Jimmy Carter level ass whoopin in November.

Even then, I don't want to be a vector for say grocery store workers or food service workers to get the virus. I hate this fucking shit about limiting interactions but unless everything we know about viruses is wrong we're a long way from being done with SARSCov2.

I kayak almost every day. Havent measured it but I think it's a couple miles around treasure island which is my route.

Trump is massively popular with Republican voters and Biden is a terrible candidate, no way this election is already decided.

[BSfromTX]

My wife and oldest marched Boerne Main Street yesterday. There were about 400 people. It was peaceful and they got lots of encouragement from people on the streets

[Nathan89]

Stats don't support the narrative BLM pushes and they are unable to execute peaceful protests.

[FrostKing]

Had work

[pgardn]

I will drive just to get to the Llano.
Then go upstream towards the waterfall.
That is wonderful. Swim to cool down.

The coast is super tough right now.
But I think I found myself a spot for trout in the summer. Its about 1.5 miles out there with zero available landing spots for weather, and I gotta avoid oysters, but I still will use the peddle drive on that, its much easier in the wind. One can get caught out there with pure paddling upper body.

He's losing support from his core base of evangelicals and catholics per a Public Religion Research Institute.


In March, nearly 80 percent of white evangelicals said they approved of the job Mr. Trump was doing, PRRI found.


But by the end of May, with the country convulsed by racial discord, Mr. Trump’s favorability among white evangelicals had fallen 15 percentage points to 62 percent


Among white Catholics, the same poll also found that his approval has fallen by 27 points since March.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/04/us/politics/trump-polls-christians-evangelicals.html

Fucking huge if this holds all the way to November. According to analysis and polls conducted since 2016, the evangelical voting population has actually shrinked by 2 percent.

So White Evangelicals will pull a Susan Collins and have serious concerns before voting for our Dear Leader anyways.

I'm sure most will. But Trump cannot afford to lose even a percent of them.

I really ought to buy more take out though that is cooked just to support some of the local places that are trying.
But I got others to worry about as well.

I will give you a spot I have had good luck at this time of year on big trout. Biggest was 28". Go south out of Aransas Pass towards Ingleside till the highway takes a hard right and follow the street that goes straight. Take it all the way to the water between a offshore assembly yard on the left and the old naval yard to the right. There is a ramp there. Jump across to the spoil islands on the other side of the channel and fish the side facing the bay. The bottom contour is crazy there. Rolling ridges/ bars for a couple hundred feet from shore. Fish may be shallow or deep but they run those cuts. Literally picked up 30 lb stringers of trout there in the kayak back when the limit was 10.

[Winehole23]

I have been thinking what an appropriate civic action for me might be. It's not directly a fight for my own liberation.

Marching and chanting in a crowd doesn't do it it for me.

You’re dreaming if you think DJT is getting only 62% of the evangelical vote. You could run a child molester who was caught ass raping an 8 year old child with special needs on videotape, and the religious right would still give him 80+% support as long as he has an R next to his name.

I have a theory that approval ratings like this dip in the months leading up to an election as a way for that segment to convince themselves that they're giving any serious thought to their vote. In other words, expressing disapproval helps some of these Evangelicals rest easier knowing they're going to vote for someone who goes against everything they claim to be about.

Racism is foundational to modern leftist ideology. That's what I said minus "modern" probably. And yeah, I stand by that.

Similar reason I think the general election polls with Trump are always going to be skewed against him because there’s a chunk of people who are too ashamed to admit they’re supporting Trump when getting polled but once they get to the voting booth they’re going to.
