Forget all the “Protests don’t matter” and “No Kings is just silly” nonsense.

Protests matter. Societal resistance has been hardening. It’s a massive problem for the MAGA regime.

And “No Kings” is crucial as part of an effort to dispel the idea that “real America” stands behind Trump.

@tzimmer_history The article's title makes a point. But what if everything remains as it is right now, half-way?

More importantly, what are *you* doing?

@jztusk @tzimmer_history That's a legal question to US citizens. However, I understand they live in a complex society, as we do everywhere else.
Often there hasn't been a change perceived as "immediately dangerous", the rhetoric often presents some changes as necessary for a future better living. This makes me think that many (too many) in reply to your question, are just "waiting to see". We all know that when some waits are over, well, everything's over.

Plenty of fascists around Europe. Are you waiting to see about them?

@jztusk @tzimmer_history I already see them here: they run the government.
