18. I went to a BLM rally in Columbia SC

Wore my red baseball cap, which looks just like a MAGA hat, but says IMPEACH.
Walking to the Statehouse, I had several people (who weren’t heading to the rally) give me a thumbs up or make other favorable comments.

Columbia has a black Democratic Mayor, so I imagine the reactions would have been different had I ventured out into the hinterlands, but it was very gratifying to have approval from some like-minded patriots.
