People in Georgia have been protesting everyday for over a year (406+ days) but for whatever reason it’s not currently getting much media coverage likely because the media tends to not report on reoccurring protests.

There’s more information about the protests on the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024–2026_Georgian_protests

Basically they’re protesting due to election fraud, democratic backsliding and protesting against pro-Russia policies, they want to be aligned with the EU.

    Some protestors stormed the palace (and were stopped and subsequently tortured in detainment) so we should disregard every other instance of tens of thousands of protestors over the past several years. I am very smart.

    To anyone who wants to read up on the protests instead of listening to a tankie lie about details and vaguepost about astroturfed protests, Wikipedia is a generally good place to start that cites its sources so you can follow up on details you’re interested in:
