Well organized anti-vax protesting right outside of the stadium at the Camping World bowl.

Orlando. They were dressed in referee uniforms and you had to walk through them. Should have photographed their signs but it was too bizarre. Didn't want to stick around and if you actually looked at them they would break out screaming their beliefs: "It's going to affect your child! Don't listen to the government!"

All white and in their late twenties and early thirties.

this is a major wedge they pound on the left. and all the "alternative medicine" shit.
step one- sow confusion. once people are confused and distrustful enough, esp if you can get them worried about their kids, you can convince them of a whole lot of bullshit.
