I’m shocked that I haven’t seen one protest yet. Is the media suppressing them? If there aren’t any, why?

    Sadly, this is the correct answer. Protests really only look effective on paper, (or social media) however, gathering in protest is only ever going to work if those they protesting against, actually care to listen with an open mind.

    There is no way the current administration has any plans to listen to anyone that disagrees with their attempts to personally own America.

      I think the nice thing about a protest is that it’s a show of power, strength, and unity. It sends a message to those on the outside that there is a number of people who believe in a common goal. And really, the message is one all Americans can pretty much agree on and that’s trickle down isn’t trickling and corporate profits are soaring.

      The longer the protests, the worse taxes become from tariffs, the more cuts they make to social services, the more people could snowball this into a movement.

      The power of protests are People.
