A handful of my friends are going. A couple friends I can't convince to leave their house, so they'll be staying home enjoying the safety of being straight white cis abled bodied men, I guess.
What have you tried to do to convince them?
Nothing effective. Invited them to come out with me to the protest. Suggested we hang out after. Tried to appeal to their civic duty. Tried to appeal to their obligations to the more vulnerable.
I fear for all our safty. If he will have a sitting Senator arrested what will they do to us? Woke up to a nightmare of being wisked away and thrown into a prison cell. It felt so real, I was just about having a panic attack when my wife woke me up. And I am a cis white male and I am frightened.
Also I am a far left almost socialist, so definitely enemy of the state.
I’ll give them ten bucks.
Should shake your dick at them until they run
Why would they run from dick?
Straight white cis make not willing to get up for anything. I'm just drawing conclusions here, perhaps unfairly.
Plenty of lazy “straight” cis white males have chomped on my dick. 🤷♂️
That's fair
