No, I’m not talking about multiple protests. The plural reflects the dueling status of a Patriot Rally and a counterprotest organized by literal communists known as the Antifa/BLM soup drive. We may as well remove the aforementioned slash (ideologically, anyway) because BLM and Antifa are pretty much in bed with one another. Though I’d rather…

And if we’re to have any scientific ethos and credibility whatsoever (us at this website and the general public) we’re going to need to brush off our 7th-grade chemistry and accept that.
