What, specifically, would protests accomplish? The people in power, in every level of our government, do not care. No one else has any power to do anything. The media provably doesn’t tell the truth about protests, and just looks for the clicks.
This isn’t a civilized European country. Protesting only works when the people who can affect change are listening to the people.
- AlecSchueler 2y agoAren't there people just below the people in power propping them up that could be given a reason to worry?

There’s no reason they would fear a protest, especially knowing how easy it is, over the next 18 months, to propagandize people into staying home. Who do you think the people “below the people in power” are, and why would they have any reason to fear anything but a purity test from someone even further to the right?
