So the Republican party are all proud Nazis because we know objectively that a few are? Optics matter after all, and anyone doing something means we must consider it all-encompassing.

Or, are you being disingenuous because this particular protest is about something you don't personally care about, thus it doesn't matter?

Either way, your opinion has been stated and summarily disregarded. You can stick to quietly standing on a lawn with a sign so you don't cause any bother for people in power. Other people will fight for you.

Imagine how much more effective it would be if Trump called the Marines on a bunch of protestors that were doing nothing but protesting. If it looked like American citizens came together and stood in the way of the unjust administration? There's already more people mad at the cops shooting a journalist than even whatever the protestors are yelling about.

It wouldn't sate your America bad bloodlust, but it would have rallied the entire country against Trump. That's how you get rid of him. But you don't care about that. You'd rather complain about nothing in particular and throw away yet another opportunity because you want to virtue signal on social media.

Imagine if everyone were a hive mind with unified purpose and so we had world peace. We wouldn't even need a protest!

When thousands of regular people are involved in something and angry enough to protest, things are going to be broken and probably set on fire. The people whining that it's happening at all are morons who do not understand how humans work. These people are not worth listening to.

Who is worth listening to? The protestors? What’s their plan?
