Picture is my bookbag that I wore to the no kings day celebration in fort Walton Beach, Florida. There’s little coverage of it so I thought it would worth blogging on the fediverse about it

came back to look for my post heres my blog https://lemmings.world/post/28508635 here is my exert relating to me talking to the trump supporter theres other good parts but i feel the blog is long and rambling.
“Later on, I saw a man in his 30s holding the same Trump flag participating in the march. I audibly muttered, “I can be a troll,” and got in front of him to hide his flag with the flag of true heroes who died saving babies from rubble—Palestine. The Trump supporter calmly approached me to talk about Palestine, claiming he had intel on the conflict and that I could ask him any questions. I affirmed that I had no questions. I pointed out that conversations about the Israeli genocide often lead straight to Hamas, and I never commented on it. The points I remember making are that baby rape is bad and that Israel is wrong for rounding up children and abusing them in concentration camps (in response to him saying Palestine or Hamas rapes babies), and that Israel is wrong for intentionally shooting babies. I mentioned that I’m an atheist but can stand with Palestinian Christians, Jews, and Muslims being slaughtered by Israel. I asked how I felt about a new government in Palestine, and I told him I’d have to research it, but it would be like here if Democrats or Republicans came into power—things would still suck; they’re “two flavors of shit,” and Trump works for oligarchs. Eventually, he backed off to end the conversation.”
