I think it's cool to see so much support and that people aren't too afraid or apathetic to come out
I also have to aknowledge that nothing has meaningfully changed as a result of tens of millions of protesters gathering, and I think that's a uniquely American idea to think that we can just stand around and things will change for the better.
The entire idea of "peaceful protest" exists to stop Americans from enacting the violence that has been necessary for every single victory the worker or individual has earned in our country's history.
It's extremely important to understand that EVERY SINGLE RIGHT YOU HAVE IS A RESULT OF ORGANIZED VIOLENCE.
