You don’t know that. Maybe the protests were the reason trump wasn’t as bad during the last presidency as he is now. He’s not a god, only a single man. He can’t actually do whatever he wants, only what he has the opportunity to do.
He’s nothing if not an opportunist so he’s going to push and push in every shitty direction, so you have to push back and back like Sisyphus pushing the boulder up the hill, because the alternative is unthinkable.
But hey, you can have a protest which is at least partly a party with friends, music, dancing, hope, community, fucking light. Not like their miserable hate filled lie-fests.
Occupy wallstreet. It was actually 100% correct on who the villains were, had an amazing amount of coverage and reach, was publicly terrorized by police on television in prime time, and what came of it?
There’s always an impact, even if it’s only a ‘hearts and minds’. Even if it’s only that you make the bullies take your freedom and dont just give it up. You might not get an obvious win, but it’s always better to fight. Do not let the bastards grind you down.
I think the hesitancy on protests is that they’ve been wholly ineffective in the last decade of fighting against trump.

Nothing. Nothing came of it.
