      It would be more incredible if those people were armed and swarming the studios of radical fascist media and beating the hell out of pro-trump talking heads.

      Standing around waving signs and cheerleading shitty chants does nothing and will be forgotten in a week.

        History has overwhelmingly shown that non-violence is more successful than violence. You do you.

          I don’t think that’s true. There were violent riots accompanying every major social change in at least recent history.

          And famously, it took an entire fucking war to end slavery in the United States.

            Well… how’s that going?

              Well I mean, slavery is still illegal. Black people are able to vote, hold office, own property, etc.

              There’s still a lot of social injustice to solve but there’s been a lot of progress, albeit slow.
