    No Kings since 1776 protests on Saturday Oct 18 aren’t looking so bad now, are they?

    Europe keeps telling us our main problem is how small we go.

      You’ve got the problem right there in your first sentence - Saturday Oct 18. It needs to last weeks/months until the regime is gone.

      A single day, where and when they allow (so they can ignore it) does nothing substantive. Prolonged and widespread unrest is the key.

        Don’t forget DISRUPTIVE. Italy and France show us that making it not just “uncomfortable”, but actual hell to work with, works.

          Didn’t the French just dump a load of trash in the roads to block traffic?

          Got to hand it to them, THAT is how you cause a disruption.

          That and the guillotine I guess.
