The Sunset Tree - The Mountain Goats

in my small, suburban, white, we-have-an-official-holiday-for-the-church town there's this intersection that's like the unofficial protest square. during the Bush years my mom and I would stand with the Women in Black on one side, and occasionally would get a small crowd in all-American clothes and flags and stuff with "support our troops" on the opposite corner as us. by the end our signs always read "support our troops- bring them home" Today there was one single oldish white man standing by himself on that corner, with a sign that said "RESIST- Veterans against Trump" and idk it was just really important to me that he was there and there might be some hope that our overwhelmingly white communities are learning
