“They’ve got busy lives. They can’t just up and go to a protest”
“It’s very difficult to get millions of people to all turn up on the same day”
“Also just wait until the midterms, it’s gonna be a bloodbath. Once November is over things will change, so there’s no point in protesting now.”
(I put them all in quotes because those are the main excuses -not reasons, excuses- I used to get when I asked about when the next protest is going to happen.
The “it’s very difficult” excuse is my favourite, whenever I point out that millions of people protested before the age of instant communication they get very snarky)

“I’m tired. I’m struggling to survive”
They’re gonna be struggling more when they’re dragged off to the concentration camps.
Unfortunately it seems Americans will only get the motivation to protest after it’s too late.

Not shocking it was effective.
Then there was January 6th 2021.
They COULD if they only WANTED.
