Just a thought I had about your mentioning of the protests. For now, the protests aren’t doing a whole lot. Or at least they seem like they aren’t doing enough. But there’s some things that they have done.
showing how many people showed up to those protests encourages more people to go to the next protests in the future. It also might bring people hope that there are lots of rational people living around them. It starts the possibility for a conversation and action between people. It helps organize people.
Trump is setting up more and more anti protest bills. Eventually, he’s going to get pissed and send the police after these protesters. This could be a catalyst for riots and further action. As shitty as it would be for people to get hurt or worse. It seems that escalation is the one thing that gets good people moving, fighting, and defending.
Yeah. There have been people who are deciding inside federal agencies how to react to some things that Trump has done, and in the discussion they talked about the crowds of people outside their buildings yelling about it. It gives them backing, it gives them confidence that they’re not alone if they decide to stick their necks out. And yes, as things get worse and worse (which, absolutely, you can be assured that they will), they can evolve into something more and more resistive.
It’s not enough, yet. But it’s definitely a good thing. If anything I was saying made it sound like it’s bad, I do not think that at all.

Oh no, sorry, I didn’t mean that in any way negative. I wanted to add some reassurance and to add to your point about the protests. You’re all good :)
