Prove it. Trump's still in office, Nazis are still running the streets, corps are still making record profits... I get that a lot of you need this to be something it isn't because you need to feel like you have some control, but holding signs for a couple of hours every few months will never fix anything. Reality doesn't care about how you perceive it.

    The most powerful part of the protests for me has been seeing, in person, that there are a lot of sane people out there in the hellscape. That I’m not alone in all this. It gives me a glimmer of hope. Sitting in a dark room and hurling snark at the screen doesn’t do that.

    Would I prefer that these protests accomplish more? Of course, and for that to happen it takes more people … in person.

    Maybe, just maybe, if you got your salty ass off the computer and put that discontent to uses other than barking at randos online, the way forward for all of us'd be a smidge closer. Dunno.

    You seem pretty worked up at your perceived impotence in the matter, and your projecting is affecting all of us by the related inaction. You do you, though. I'm full up on enduring any more of your edgy yarps, honestly. 🤷🏼‍♂️
