    This is such an insanely stupid and ignorant comment. Maybe don’t weigh in on topics you know nothing about.

    Change can be encited with a small group of people, and this was not a small group of people. Public opinion is the only weapon we can weild right now, and it’s emphatically working as Trump’s approval ratings are plummeting.

    Discounting our success publicly is exactly what Trump does. If you’re going to do his work for him, you should at least get paid - go apply to OANN.

      Uh huh

      And how much exactly changed after the previous no kings protests, after which people like you made the exact same claims?

      Yeah, absolutely nothing

      And what changes after the previous one?

      Nothing

      What has this protest done so far? Well it did something, it made trump release this really weird AI video of him shit bombing US citizens… Not sure if anyone else had this in their bingo cards, but alas, the times we live in.

      I’m not saying that at some point a protest might make a difference, but I’d you look at how people protest world wide and how they protest in the US, there is a very marked difference.

      If you want to make change with a smaller group, that’s fine if you continuously protest, all day, every day, and have more and more people join in. You could also go the violent way (would not recommend) and out the country in turmoil and chaos.

      The US, however, has had pretty much three major protests.

      Three

      And what showed up was around 2% ish of the population.

      It’s not enough and it won’t make a difference. Show up with 30 million people and you EILL get attention. This, however, is the third attempt and it is yet again too little, too late.

      Wanna protest again? Trump government doesn’t care. They have the propaganda channel setup to lie about the protests. As far as maga supporters are concerned, these people are terrorists that should be shot. That didn’t change.

      Unless you have a thousand days of protest planned as a follow-up to this one, this latest protest won’t do shit
