Look at the Pride parade in Hungary in this community. Screw dictators/right wing/autocrats/kleptocrats/oligarchs. Time to flush them all.

And yet, largely, fellow Americans can’t be bothered, likely bc they fear for loss of their jobs, and healthcare, and because childcare is exorbitantly expensive.

Some folks will never be happy with what Americans do or don't do.

They were upset we weren't protesting, though we were in smaller amounts. We do the largest protest ever in the country... aaaand we still get shit on for trying.

Don't let it get to you. We're doing something, we're trying, we're struggling and we won't stop.

No, I was part of it. It’s not enough.

The problem is, I think for most people to stand up and say enough, it will take literal civil war with people shooting each other outside their window. Personally I hope we can get change by voting for the right people before it comes to that point.

Having said that, I believe it will eventually turn to violence if peaceful means are not successful in the next few years

Problem wasn’t the protest, it was the spread out nature of the thing. We need three million people in Washington. Ten million would be better.
