Dude saying stuff like because “he did this protest in a way that may have hypothetically inconvenienced or damaged someone or something and therefore it should be technically illegal and that’s fine” is fascist assistance.
During Trump #1, I had conversations in real life with people that were arguing that the people in Charlottesville didn’t “have a proper permit”. The person I was having the conversation with was then and likely is now a fucking fascist. He voted for Trump in 2016, likely in 2020, and likely again in 2024.
Be mindful of the company you keep.
Concern trolls always approve of a conceptual protest but never quite find one that is tastefully or respectably done to their standards amongst actual protests (unless their side does it, then an insurrection is a tourist visit).
This protest should not be illegal and was harmless. There’s no reason to get mealy mouthed about it.
