As Obvious As It Is, Can't Lose Sight Of How Nasty & Aggressive Many Trump People Are-Headed To The Streets

​We had 40 or so at Tuesday’s Week 429 of the John Cornyn Houston Office Protest. You see the picture above. We were charcoal-rolled for by my count the 18th time over the 8 years and 13 weeks of the protest. You see the picture with the truck spitting out smoke. You see the picture below. 

The truck is rigged to do that. The driver pushes a button or calls on Satan or whatever & smoke belches out. Rolling coal. They had an American flag Punisher sticker on the car with what looked to me to be a thin blue line stripe. Only the best people.

Most reactions to our protest each week are positive. Every single week we've been there the reactions have been positive. The Protest is each Tuesday, 11:30-1, 5300 Memorial Dr. 

Even if we know it already, it’s important to not lose sight that many Trump supporters are mean and aggressive people. In my experience, standing with colleagues and being yelled at, given the finger and having things thrown at us, they never let you get a word in and are most likely to do something hostile as they pull away. They are more aggressive and openly angry when there are fewer people at a protest.

They are bullies and cowards. They are waiting for the martial law decree and many dream of a purge.

I’m not saying this from fear or anger. I just want to consistently emphasize the physical aspect of the challenge ahead. This all will not be fully resolved at the ballot box, legislative chamber or in court. It is also headed to the street.

We must show up. We must be willing to demand police protect us. We have every right to consider what type of self-defense is best for our homes and the people in our lives. We must look after one another.
This is where we are at and where we are going.

​Here is the Houston Democracy Project list of things each of us can do to fight Trump/Musk. Here is a fundraising pitch for the Houston Democracy Project. I'm doing the work and showing up in many different ways.  Please help the effort. ​​

I'm on the Egberto Willies Politics Done Right Show every Thursday from 6 AM to 7 AM for the Houston Democracy Project segment. You can hear the show on the radio, stream it on KPFT or watch later Egberto's YouTube channel.

    I’m an organizer of the Weekly John Cornyn Houston Office Protest. The Cornyn Protest team has been outside Senator Cornyn’s office each Tuesday for eight years now with one clear message: In addition to voting, we must show up physically and non-conventionally for the fights over democracy. Events have proven this assertion correct.
