Today the Loyal Spouse and I took a road trip to Woodstock, where a small but dedicated group gathers along Route 4 every day to protest what one homemade sign described as “The Turd Reich.” (We were carrying a “Tyranny Shall Not Prevail” flag from Flags for Good.) They started doing this early in our new national nightmare and they’re planning a bigger rally on May 17 to mark their 100th day of protest.

There were about 20 or so people on hand. One of the organizers said they manage to get at least 10 or so people out there each day, which is impressive. There was plenty of enthusiasm from passing motorists, and only one dissenter who gave us the “thumbs down.” It was a bit of a drive, but it was nice to connect with like-minded folks from another part of Vermont.
