And yet nobody seems willing to acknowledge that America has just turned out a fourth largest protest in the nation’s history over the last two years, mobilizing tens of millions of people with no significant reports of violence or looting.
I guess it doesn’t count when organizers successfully create a peaceful environment that doesn’t play into the hands of the fascists in our government who are looking for any excuse to enact martial law and suspend elections to establish their total and complete authority?
Yes but that only matters if the government your under gives a shit about that sort of thing. You doing nothing as they round up ‘illegal voters’ is playing into the hands of fascists.
We had nationwide protests that turned violent with rioting and looting in 2020 under this same regime. It achieved no meaningful change but to turn public opinion against the movement. We’re still recovering from the social trauma that caused and it’s only given ammunition to the opposition. Portland, OR is still a pariah on the national scene due to the violence and looting that happened here in 2020 despite the last six years of adopting a more peaceful way of protesting.
The regime was unprepared for the violent response then but they are prepared for it now. A year ago they were doing everything they could to provoke a violent response, declaring blue cities as enemies within and deploying our own states’ national guards against us. Our response was to turn out in large, peaceful numbers. It made this regime look foolish and they’ve since halted their deployment of the military against blue cities.
They need us to be violent so they can use it to turn the general public against us; and so we show up peacefully and “do nothing”. As a result, they have no enemy to rally the general public against, their actions have no justification and public opinion of this regime is at record-breaking lows and is continuing to trend lower.

Because it only fell the mask for many Americans. Private property is more important to them than any amount of social improvement.
Keep being docile and keep licking those boots, that’ll definitely show them who’s boss.
