At this point, the ongoing “No Kings” protests just prove to the fascists in charge that they have nothing to fear from peaceful opposition showing up in large numbers.

The protests aren’t just ineffective, they actively embolden the administration by demonstrating that no real opposition exists.

The French are better at protest and revolution—we need their help.

“we need their help.”

We can’t help you grow some balls.
Another problem with your awful country is most desire no more than to go back to the situation it was before.
An awful imperialist warmongering country that also put kids in cages and deported (even more) poor people.
Only difference, they didn’t bother the white americans.
So no.

Darn, France said “no”. They were so helpful back in our first revolution…:

They were imperialists helping you figh imperialists competing with them. Who knew you would turn out to become the worst imperialists on the planet.
It’s better for the planet if you were gone. ASAP

I’m not French, Belgian.
But it could be the opinion of pretty much anywhere in the world.

Ah, Belgium, famous for not colonizing any places like Congo.

yawn, invariably they have to mention this 1 lame whataboutism that pales into insignificance to your cancer country from ages ago
Probably had to look it up since you barbarians probably don’t know where Belgium is

In case you’re poorly informed and not just outright opposition:

These protests are working towards that critical 3% - 4% of the NATIONAL population goal, basically a critical mass of resistance. We have to work with reality. The USA is not France. The people of this country are deeply divided. What works in France works because that is France. There have been 2 national No Kings protests, and there was exponential growth between them.

To call these protests ineffective is, frankly ignorant. It demonstrates that you do not understand the purpose (i.e. working towards a singular, large, nationwide protest involving 3% - 4% of the country), or the additional benefits of these types of protests in terms of building solidarity. Do you even attempt to inform yourself on the matter? It’s okay if you don’t, just kind of sad to see someone so adamantly against people trying to make a difference and I’m close to being of the opinion that with “friends” like this, who needs enemies.
