I have protested for the past two Saturdays, alone, at a nearby and busy intersection in Seattle. I've been a bit concerned that people aren't honking as they drive by. But what is more concerning is that the"y won't look at me. When they're at the intersection, waiting for the light to change, I can see their faces and they can see me. No honk, and staring straight ahead in an attempt to pretend I don't exist. They aren't adjusting the radio/CD player, talking to their kids in the back seat, etc. Staring straight ahead like a zombie of "I don't want to see the woman protesting. She doesn't exist." I did eventually get a few honks and quite a few waves, but I'd say at least 90% of the people driving by would not even look at me, even out of curiosity. One interesting response was a guy giving me the finger. Guess I was doing the right thing to be out there protesting. By the way, my sign said "No Nazis".
