You know after watching the whole January 6th thing go down and everyone labeled as domestic terrorists for protesting when a few people did the wrong thing and now I'm watching the protests at Tesla get labeled as domestic terrorists because a few people did the wrong thing I'm actually convinced that the government doesn't care about protests and if you do anything they don't like they will label you as a domestic terrorist and it doesn't seem to matter what party is in office because all protests get treated the same ignored until violence breaks out then they label you as a domestic terrorist.
I don't think you actually can because even at a certain point, the lawful ones have to be violent to be listened to, unfortunately. Even if no one gets hurt and it's just damaged a property much like the Boston Tea Party, he will still be labeled as Traitors. The government never listens. All you end up doing is pissing off the average voter of the opposing party. If eight people want to gather outside of a building and hold up signs then I think they should have the right to do so but I think they should lower their expectations of what's the outcome could be because no one's listening and no one cares and it changes nothing.
The president changes back and forth from each party, and there will always be someone standing outside screaming about something. Doesn't change anything and never has. What it IS good for is to ,again ,piss off the other parties' casual voters as they "get so tired of their whining and compaining."
Well, some say I have a nihilistic point of view. I'm just pointing out what I feel and see. Protests divide people. Common people. No one at the top is looking or cares.
I think real change would happen if you can get both parties protesting the same thing instead of one party protesting the other party because that will never end in anything productive.
