What if you held a protest and nobody showed up?
Even, it appears, the organizers of the protest?
As you're doubtless aware, around the country, a small bunch of morons are holding pathetic rallies where they protest the social distancing effots and lockdowns, etc., that are necessary to stop this pandemic in its tracks. However, that isn't stopping some Republicans from demanding -- SHOUTING! -- that the economy must be "reopened" ASAP so that they can back to their normal lives, making money, and hanging out with people. These idots don't seem to realize or care that, by "reopening", more and more people would get sick, meaning this pandemic would continue even longer, and the economy will only continue to suffer.
Logic has never been a Republican strong suit.
While it's an extremely tiny, fringe number of people who are engaging in these dumb rallies, the media is treating it like it's some kind of mass uprising akin to the French Revolution. It's not. It's a freak show. The vast, vast majority of Americans approve the lockdowns and social distancing and don't want to do the stupid and dangerous things these "protesters" are demanding.
Out in the most Republican part of NYC, Staten Island, one of these protests was planned for last Sunday -- only nobody came to it! The cops did, in order to monitor and hopefully break it up, but this turned out to be totally unnecessary. No one showed.
Call it the protest that never was -- and thank you Staten Island for having some sense.
Proves that, in NYC, even our Republicans are better!
Stay well, Staten Island.
