      That is exactly why the midterms will be so important, not to mention the next presidential election. We need to keep the momentum going for a blue wave, and this protest may have helped with that.

      The fact that No Kings was nonviolent was perfect, because trying to riot or a coup would have just enabled MAGA to justify state-sanctioned violence of their own.

      I see so many videos with people saying “I support you” and none saying “I’m going to take action.” Everyone is dawdling, nobody is doing anything

      I would argue that it already isn’t. we kinda waited a bit too long, that’s why the protests happened.

      Truth will be in the form of how they respond to the protests. If we end up with military occupation or martial law, we’re already not a democracy.

      that said, tomato, tomaaato, same fix.
