[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We haven't had effective protests in the US since the Vietnam era. These days, street protests are associated with Gaza and BLM. The vast majority of people who are appalled by Trump don't want to be associated with progressive activists. It's a problem. Most Americans don't care for the looting and burning and pro-terrorism slogans that progressives tend to bring. And progressive looters and nihilists will take over any march. So those street protests tend to work in favor of Republicans - see the Gaza and BLM protests. It's not effective. [/quote]

The position ‘protests aren’t effective’ is….. ridiculous.

You may not have liked blm - but was it effective? Hell yeah. Try to find me one person who doesn’t know what blm stands for. Try to find me one cop who doesn’t know about the blm protests.

The idea that we are powerless feels so incorrect as to be troll worthy. We aren’t. Remember the Arab spring? Remember the anti apartheid protests? Remember Selma? No one was like ‘oh but we might be associated with the black panther party’ gtfo  [/quote]
Sure people knew what BLM stood for. And quickly decided they wanted no part of it.  Americans hate civic disorder and react against organizations that try to stir the pot. BTW that included Jan6 insurrection it’s - their activities also failed to achieve any concrete progress.

I don’t think martial law is likely because it’s not needed.  Trump can just laugh off protesters, ridicule them on social media, and use them to demonstrate that Democrats aren’t serious people.  If you want change we need to look to the courts, lawsuits, primary challenges, and economic boycotts.[/quote]
