      I understand a bit deeper than that actually. These things aren’t happening with a two hour march on the weekend. This reeks of the BLM protests, where people just wanted to return to the status quo and go back to brunch. And people did go back to brunch and things just continued getting worse, with no systemic changes.

      We need more than a two hour photo-op.

        I take it you weren’t at these protests. At the one in my city, the end of the protest march had tables and tables full of resistance organizations signing people up to get involved, handing out fliers on ways to do more than wave cardboard signs, etc.

        In many ways, protests like these are onboarding for the resistance.
