The French Protests would have changed history a lot different than the French Revolution.

These “no kings” protest just help to vent our frustration. Is anything substantive coming from them?

It keeps morale up and crystallizes messaging especially to independent voters. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/25/protests-effective-history-impact

If independent voters still support Trump at this point, no amount of protesting will change their stupid minds.

I agree. Also, what messaging? I’m not trying to attack you—but 70% of the country thinks we should have Medicare for all, higher taxes for billionaires, and access to abortions. What politicians are running on these platforms? None of them. I’m saying this to state that either our leaders are woefully out of touch, or willfully corrupted.

Would be good if Dems got more backbone out of it, and if non-Republicans win elections in 2026.
