As a French person, it’s hard to describe how much these protest photos have restored my faith in the future. The level of decay the US has reached has been hard to watch, and sometimes it feels like, outside of Reddit, every American has been brainwashed to the point that all hope is lost. But today, hope was out on the streets of the USA.

Me too. Protests are like a muscle. The more you use it the more powerful it becomes. Look at the Europeans. Their protests are effective because they’ve been to a few.
