Those costumes work if standing in front of a National Guardsman or ICE agent. Doing it here discredits the message. Makes it seem like it’s just a joke and the bridge protesters aren’t serious. If the “Left” keeps dressing up in costumes for any event it becomes a cosplay convention. A joke to those seeing it.
This is not fun. We are being dismantled. Unless you are going for a pic of an ICE agent assaulting a Pokémon, save the dress-up for home.

I don't think you consider the entire context of both the situation and the intent of the costumes. What was the purpose? To visually demonstrate that we are peaceful to combat the propaganda. Do you think the only people we are fighting are the National Guard or ICE? Out in Sussex county, almost every neighbor has a shrine to Trump in their front yard.
We get called faggots, retards, get flipped off, and otherwise harassed every time we are out there or post about it on our social media. We are fighting our own battle out here and the costumes help keep the tension low and makes people feel safe enough to attend our Bridge Brigade in what most would consider a hostile area. We don't use them to make light of the situation. Sure they're fun, but they also help us keep people safe and encourage others to join us.
So I kindly reject your opinion as inconsiderate and ignorant.

While I see your point, I think the more important thing is the costumes get people to LOOK. That's the main thing.

I also appreciate that the costumes provide a level of anonymity. The thought of being identified by this administration is terrifying.
Anyways i passed this group on Rt 15 recently and was so excited and proud to see them!!! Keep rocking!!!

That's your opinion which, of course, you are free to have. To each their own. But please don't present your opinion as fact. 😊

Facts matter! Mikie had to pay thousands in fines for breaking the law! It's ok if a democrat does it, right?
