But what are you guys doing?

And then, you know, I've seen videos since like I got back to D.C.

of just people spotting protesters who've been at protest after protest.

And then I've talked to protesters who talk about how expensive it is.

And then you see the free snacks.

And then all the effort that goes into it and you just start asking questions.

And honestly, that's one of my biggest takeaways from this weekend is I, as a reporter and other reporters, we need to dig into this and figure out how they're able to mobilize like this.

Right.

Because it's truly uncanny just to see you convince people on a Saturday, on a workday, like, are you guys taking PTO to get out there and do this for five days?

You know, so very interesting.

And do you think that they were I mean, obviously, this was organized by someone or some group.

And I'd be interested to know, did you ask any of the protesters where they were from?

Because I'd be interested to see if I'm sure some of them are based in the Minneapolis area, but I'm sure some of them were shipped in from somewhere else.

And I wonder who funded that.

I heard some from California for sure.

And that's when I'm, and I still, I need to do more research into this.

I need to figure it out because I'm like, because I was kind of thinking, okay, it's like protesting because when people are like, oh, I've been to a ton of protests.

And I'm like, is this like the left version or just the version of running?

Like when people get addicted to marathons, you know, you hear stuff like that.

Are you guys just getting addicted to protesting?
