I’m shocked that I haven’t seen one protest yet. Is the media suppressing them? If there aren’t any, why?

    I think the nice thing about a protest is that it’s a show of power, strength, and unity. It sends a message to those on the outside that there is a number of people who believe in a common goal. And really, the message is one all Americans can pretty much agree on and that’s trickle down isn’t trickling and corporate profits are soaring.

    The longer the protests, the worse taxes become from tariffs, the more cuts they make to social services, the more people could snowball this into a movement.

    The power of protests are People.

      Again, it really looks good on paper. In practice- it does little.

        Tell that to pretty much every rights movement in the history of our species. Apes strong together.

          Here lies the problem. People think that because something once worked- it’ll always work.

          Perhaps we should use swords the next time we’re at war? I mean, they were very effective in the 1300’s, right?

          Protests don’t work anymore. We’re way beyond anyone listening to gathered crowds.
