leaders with the most prominent Trump-resistance group organizing “No Kings” answered that complaint Saturday when Indivisible’s Ezra Levin took to the stage in Minneapolis and announced that a nationwide general strike is planned for May 1, modeled after a successful local action that shut down much of that region in January
Then I would try to communicate that better. Your 3 sentences in the original end with they don’t care, it doesn’t matter, and that’s the problem with the protests. It comes across completely defeatist.
I see your point although I was speaking in regard to the Trump Administration, not the protests themselves.
I believe in protesting itself. I think it’s a good thing. I just don’t think the Trump Administration is not interested in playing by the rules, and that’s the problem. We, as American Citizens, need to do more, though, if I’m honest I’m not sure what outside of a general strike.
I think that’s all fair. But individual reps might care. I think that’s where you can make progress. Those midterms are coming in hot for all those reps.
The Republican party is Trump at the moment, and those reps are looking at getting their asses kicked out of a job.
