In the urban streets of St. Louis today there were marches , and protest , and even the usual commonplace horrid murders that were not “cancelled”.
The wreckage from the riots has yet to be boarded up and the local TV media does some weird schizophrenic praise of the events that oscillates between gleefully reporting  “mostly peaceful” to glossing over horror-show crimes.  Thus the new normal for the “cancel culture” rolls on with chirps of social distancing and a be-safe reminders to the community. https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/crime/st-louis-fatal-shootings/63-07fdeacd-9b14-4380-a4fd-46c39ae69c88

On the outside of the city , in the rural farm towns , the tractor pulls & the county fairs, and even the July 4th fireworks shows have been cancelled.
Today when I drove past the little small town park that had bi-monthly old timer (60 year old and older tractors, and one old live-steam Case to make steam noise) all events had been cancelled to flatten the curve. There was one old guy on a green Oliver tractor , decorated with American flags and he was waving to passing cars. He was not taking-a-knee, no power fist in the air, no chanting of slogans. He could be an outlaw in the eyes of the authorities for being at the cancelled event site, but in my eyes that guy was a hero.
Nick , when you “know of a few that will still be steaming up on the day of the cancelled shows” ; please post a pic. True defiance for true freedoms are getting hard to find.
