    Big whoop. 70Million voted for orange Shittler. 8million is nothing. Meaningless. Weekend protests are useless. The US needs to shut everything down.

      Looking at your comment history I see you work tirelessly to destroy morale of activists and discourage Americans from taking any action. The maga regime thanks you for your support.

      Protests have a lot of very concrete benefits besides just the signal. You meet people who are on your side and can form large and small networks. People internalize the political opinion and you have a shared experience to talk about later. You get pictures to use in campaigning. You maintain the practice of protesting. Etc.

      It’s not just about counting the number.

          It isn’t! But “everything” is a wide net, and destroying it all would be indiscriminate in who it hurts.
