    Ah yes, whataboutism as the answer to any uncomfortable comment. So tell me where and when these protests are occurring. I used to see them weekly in my city, block-long marches down popular streets. They used to block freeways and bridges and college administration buildings were occupied. Did the pre-election protests ever once target a Trump rally? Or any Republican?

    Will people take to the streets now to protest Trump and his Republican Congress’s stance on Gaza? Will the people do anything now that the Democrats have lost?

      You obviously don’t organize or show up for protests. You’re asking will people show up? lol we’ve been showing up, I suggest trying it, because this is written like someone who’s never been

        Thanks for the link. It seems the bulk of these recent protests are just meetings at a local storefront or a “banner drop” involving only a handful of people. The street marches, building occupations, and bridges closures that required hundreds of people are simply done.
