From Locked-Down Sacramento

I spent this weekend traveling to my state’s Capitol based on social media rumors that “the biggest rally yet” would occur on Saturday. Based on my previous experience with here-now, gone-later “protests” in my home city, I had mental reservations that I would come to a city with empty streets.
Fortunately, I was wrong.
The Capitol Mall of Sacramento was absolutely teeming with people. Majority of them were Trump supporters, and although I have my doubts regarding his sincerity or ability to affect any change, what mattered more to me was the fact that perhaps thousands from around the state have cast off the 24/7 relentless programming of the Establishment regarding the “new normal” of this “killer” disease.
Another reservation that I had was that this was not a truly grassroots rally. Indeed, the event had set up a podium with scheduled speakers and was sponsored by a group called the Freedom Angels. While there was a police presence, there were no riot cops and the officers present were few in number and benign towards all the attendees. The attendees also respected their boundaries. No one practiced social distancing and no police attempted to enforce it. Does this mean that the rally is “fake?” Maybe so, or maybe the rank and file of this formerly great state are beginning to relent.
For my part, I attended because I wanted to protest the evil, inhuman, satanic and pseudoscientific practice of social distancing. One of the speakers said that social distancing was a euphemism for social isolation, and was developed by the CIA as a means of psychological abuse.
In so many words, when I was asked by independent interviewers, my reply was, “I just want hugs and handshakes to return.”
