Me, too.

The weird ass trump supporters already do that every day still like the election is still happening. It's a cult I swear. They're on the fucking overpass waving flags constantly.

I checked the map, the closest protest seems to be a government building in west palm.

It's fascinatingly dumb how short-sighted they are. Do they like having money? People deported, in jail, dead, unemployed, homeless can't buy their stuff. A delusional hope of feeding off government money only works until the government no longer has a use for you, or decides to just take you over and you become part of the government.

It is in their best interests to support the masses, but they can't ever see past 3 months in the future.

To begin with, Franco was not strictly comparable with Hitler or Mussolini. His rising was a military mutiny backed up by the aristocracy and the Church, and in the main, especially at the beginning, it was an attempt not so much to impose Fascism as to restore feudalism. This meant that Franco had against him not only the working class but also various sections of the liberal bourgeoisie—the very people who are the supporters of Fascism when it appears in a more modern form.

From Orwell's "Homage to Catalonia", emphasizes added.

The bourgeoisie aligning to the resistance has happened before. Now, make no mistake: they will betray the movement as soon as it's in their interests to do so. Don't trust them past the current crisis.

If you really can't bear to be without a phone, get 2 burners. Put the number of each on the other. Nothing else. Bring one, and give the other to the person who might need you urgently or might be able to bail you out. You can write their burner number on yourself for EMTs to call, without giving police any justification for getting into their real phone.

I've tested some and they work good if properly wrapped shut, but probably better for day-to-day use and less for such an event where you'd probably be best just to leave it home. Phones use radio frequencies from 14MHz (NFC) to 39GHz (5G mmWave) with spec up to 71GHz. It is real hard to get a radio wave blocker bag that can block almost every conceivable frequency band in the RF spectrum.

It is also hard to truly turn phones off anymore, many broadcast Bluetooth beacons when powered off, and even outside of that, they leave dead-reckoning tracking turned on that can extrapolate where you may have gone just by how you walk. It is also why a phone turned off can still have a dead battery in a month or two, because stuff is kept running, when older phones truly turned off and you could pick it up a year later and still have a charge.
