i think it’s important not to downplay the protests… people are organising the most political action that’s happened in most people’s lifetimes
but it’s by no means proportional to the situation
and perhaps more importantly: there are still a huge number of people that are drinking the koolaid
The protests have proven to be irrelevant and ignored. Trump and his idiocy has been protested for a decade. He’s been convicted of crimes, he was declared by a court to be a rapist, when he speaks, he clearly has mush for brains, people close to him have called him a racist, he formented an insurrection. And yet here we are…
Clearly holding up signs, even in large groups is doing fuck all.
Thomas Jefferson had something to say about what the situation calls for.

you need 3.5% of the population engaged in non-violent protest for guaranteed political change
for the USA, that’s about 10m people - no small number… the protests keep growing. what’s your solution? because so far that’s the best idea that anyone has simply because
sure, the systems should be better equipped to deal with the situation, but they’re not… so it’s a shit situation, moving on from that: realistic paths forward?
