It succeeded, still no kings.

Blocking traffic is peaceful? LA was peaceful? Protesters yelling in the faces of service members and vets in DC was peaceful? Breaking into barricades in DC was peaceful? Portland?? "Only" one dead. Our standards are so low.

You know what was peaceful? The Army 250th parade!

It was a nothing burger. Bunch of old hippy women and their low T husbands. It was basically a TDS therapy session.

Over 5 million people across 2,000 cities, and one tragic fatality caused by someone not affiliated with the protest. Peacekeepers accidently shot a bystander trying to stop a guy with an AR-15 POINTED AT THE PROTESTERS... It's been peaceful, but not for the desperation of Trump sending in the NG, the Marines, pumping propaganda videos of past protests and riots across certified, state level, twitter accounts. Full blown "hype" videos for violence. Then this guy tries to shoot protesters and it's somehow their fault? No mass riots, no buildings burned, no mass arrests. If you think that's 'not peaceful,' you might just be mad it didn't go the way you hoped. 5 to 11 million Americans using their constitutionally mandated right to assemble and protest, done peacefully, done the right way, and MAGA is irate.

Those that asked:

They're protesting to oppose authoritarianism, the growing concentration of power, and anti-immigrant policies that threaten democratic and human rights. Just do things the right way, it's not that hard.

To know whether or not they "work," we'd have to identify what they are intending to accomplish. Would we, for example, consider the January 6th protest to have accomplished anything? If one measure was to stop the count, then it failed. If another measure is catalyzing the electorate, which helped re-elect Trump, then we might consider it something of a success. The "success" of this protest may not be known until the mid-terms, or possibly sooner if the sheer number of protestors, and the message they intended to communicate, has some impact on the decision-makers whose actions may be impacted by what was communicated by 5+ million people coming out and expressing their displeasure with the way things are currently going.

What "anti immigrant" policies? This BS gets old……..being for legal, controlled immigration is not "anti-immigrant". Cutting fraudulent payments under Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare is not the same as cutting those three.

Where is this 5 million number coming from? Who did the estimates? What are some example counts from the large cities? Are there examples of large city count estimates and photographic evidence to back them?

I don't buy that number for even one second given the photos I saw.

He could not give a good answer when I asked the same questions.

Instead, it was just talking points like "he needs to do it in a different way" or "he should have asked the governor (Newsom) before using the national guard." My favorite was "Congress won't do anything without Trump's approval and that is what a king would do."

Nothing these people do or say is organic. They are spoon fed their talking points daily from whatever social media account, podcast, etc. they follow, and then run to regurgitate them over and over.

Good point, those photos were likely altered by MAGA extremists after they got home from their rioting and looting false flag attempts.

We all know what these riots under the guise of protest accomplish. I can see it every time since the black kid at A&M put his own racist note on his car and got caught.

Number 1: Fundraising. I am certain there were probably 1,000's of LLC's formed to take in donations.


Number 2: Recruitment. They were able to recruit addition lunatics to supplement the ranks of Antifa, and other hired to riot folks. The addition of old folks is interesting. They all look like they are from the same nursing homes.

There are a number of reasons why the event proved to be ineffective. The rioters did not receive the tacit support from the government with was a source of funds, and apparently demanded a low key presence by LEO's. The aggressive use of force, going after the organizers and anyone who an aggressive posture
Helped to dampen the impact.

Question. Does a rioter who violently fights back and forces LEO to forcibly subdue them…..do they get more charges?

Definitely a weird thread. We just wanted everyone to go to work and shut the **** up since America doesn't have a king, none of us want a king, and Donald Trump is not remotely acting like a king. All the lies and fomenting unrest is par for the course with democrats, though.

Let our elected president run the country, as we voted for him to do.

Thanks.
