Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Uh huh
And how much exactly changed after the previous no kings protests, after which people like you made the exact same claims?
Yeah, absolutely nothing
And what changes after the previous one?
Nothing
What has this protest done so far? Well it did something, it made trump release this really weird AI video of him shit bombing US citizens... Not sure if anyone else had this in their bingo cards, but alas, the times we live in.
I'm not saying that at some point a protest might make a difference, but I'd you look at how people protest world wide and how they protest in the US, there is a very marked difference.
If you want to make change with a smaller group, that's fine if you continuously protest, all day, every day, and have more and more people join in. You could also go the violent way (would not recommend) and out the country in turmoil and chaos.
The US, however, has had pretty much three major protests.
Three
And what showed up was around 2% ish of the population.
It's not enough and it won't make a difference. Show up with 30 million people and you EILL get attention. This, however, is the third attempt and it is yet again too little, too late.
Wanna protest again? Trump government doesn't care. They have the propaganda channel setup to lie about the protests. As far as maga supporters are concerned, these people are terrorists that should be shot. That didn't change.
Unless you have a thousand days of protest planned as a follow-up to this one, this latest protest won't do shit
