Totally agree.
But I live in Florida, and I went out to one of my favorite restaurants, expecting to find them ecstatic over being able to open to capacity and not wear masks again...I left because I made a casual comment to the hostess about how happy they must be, and she said no, were very unhappy. We dont care about business, its all about safety.
Fer Petes sake. She, of course, was masked up to her eyeballs - so I guess she doesnt believe in masks herself, otherwise her own mask would be sufficient. LOL!
But the point is that its going to be very hard to get people out of this narrative and get them living normally again, especially if theyre liberals (a lot of them live in that particular neighborhood).
DeSantis needs to do a PR campaign, because of course the press is arrayed against him and shrieking in panic.
google images only show tight shots of small sections of the crowd. this has an aerial shot, supplied by Met Police, but not sure
a) whether it is from this weekend’s protest or
b) if it is, don’t think it shows the full crowd once the rally got going, because there is no-one on the stage when this was taken and I’ve seen pics of people well outside the boundaries of this pic.
