The movement is getting larger and louder each cycle. Protests like this dont bring down the government directly, but are demonstration that a movement has support
Agreed. I think a lot of people in light red and purple areas probably had my same experience of being really surprised at the amount of support there was. The occupy protest in my city was like three dudes in two tents. The No Kings protests stretched for three city blocks and we got a ton of enthusiastic responses (and only, like, three counter protests that I saw) from people driving through. I never ever would have imagined that kind of turnout and support in this town, and I found myself feeling really encouraged that there’s a lot more local support for resisting this bullshit than I estimated.
Now if only those same 4-6 million people would go on general strike until the government is forced to resign and trigger new elections.
