Not so stupid. I've had my jaw dislocated by the police while protesting against apartheid.
A worthy thing to protest. Just watched a program on a channel called Viceland here in the states about methaqualone in South Africa today and its role during Apartheid. Hamilton's Pharmacopeia. It went into many things and brought up Project Coast and a certain Dr Bossa. I find it disturbing that you would associate Trump with Apartheid though.
Project Coast ... a very disturbing event ... hopefully you can see this across the pond. A funny thing that I just remembered, from sources long ago, Quaaludes were introduced onto college campuses during the early 70's by the Nixon Administration to make us protesters too loaded to protest. They were first introduced in Boston and Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. I have a first hand source for this little tidbit. I was a student at Kent State, one of the target campuses back in the day. It all makes even more sense now.
So I had a teeth cleaning appointment yesterday and the technician wanted to chat about the election. I didn't know what party she supported...but found out near the end of the conversation when she asked me "What do you think about all the riots?"
"What riots?" I asked.
"You know, the anti-Trump riots all over the country" she offered.
I said, "Well, those aren't 'riots', they are protests".
"Oh no", she insisted, "they are rioting all over the country".
As she had her hands in my mouth with a drill I held that thought for a bit.
She continued, "I heard George Soros is paying the rioters to riot. Spit"
"That's not even happening", I insisted.
"Oh yes it sure is, I saw it on the news" she claimed.
At that point I decided this was not going to a good place and held my tongue. I didn't bother trying to explain that there are not riots going on but rather (largely) peaceful protests, which are protected by the Constitution. I didn't ask her what she was calling her "news" source. I didn't ask her to explain how George Soros would have the ability to somehow pay people all over the country to "riot". I did, however, ask one question.
" So if your candidate had lost, what do you think the response would have been from his followers?"
"Oh...same thing, riots everywhere" she said with a mischievous smile.
These are the reasons why people should be protesting....let's drop all the emotional grandstanding ("Not my president") crap, and start talking about the issues. Let's get ahead of these issues on environment, energy policy, civil liberties...before they start to steamroll them.
I voted for Bernie in the primaries but simply couldnât decide who was the lesser evil this time, so I took George Carlinâs view seriously: âIf you vote you have no right to complain.â https://youtu.be/2Jnf9GILjFM

I agree, I have absolutely no problem with people not voting.

I got to LSU right around the time David Duke graduated. What interesting times...
And I arrived at FIT in Melbourne ( fall 1970) at the very same time that the Klan was holding its annual convention in Kissimmee just a few clicks inland. I was going whereTF am I and what is this place ?
Yes, very interesting times. There was only 10 miles of I - 95 built in Georgia when I went through then. Talk about some weird stuff ... Macon was very scary ...
