Okay, now do it every weekend until something changes. That’s why protests are successful in places like France, because they repeat until it’s no longer possible to ignore.
Yeah, this is crucial here. We also had large protests in Germany last year. Once, maybe twice. Then everyone went home and let the fascists continue to take more influence and the supposed center followed suit and now the country has shifted significantly to the far right and the minister of interior is in open defiance of the courts to abuse refugee seekers.
You have to protest every week and if your demands are not met you have to escalate protests. That includes things like striking, blocking the police/ICE thugs from carrying out their oppressive missions but will also need you to fight back, if you are attacked.
Not keeping up the pressure now would be a great blunder, unfortunately one that many “liberals” or “social democrats” love to fall into.
Protests are successful in places like France because they carry with them the implicit threat that the elites will sonner or later have their heads separated from their shoulders if they don’t address the concerns of the rest of the population.
Meanwhile in the US there is not even the risk of the economic damage of a General Strike, much less of the physical integrity of those who actually control how the country is managed.
Several million Americans walking around in their own time holding boards decrying the current puppet of the elites ain’t going to scare the elites into letting go of some of their power.
The murder by a single individual of a Healthcare Insurance company CEO had more concrete impact than this march of millions of Americans ever will.
