    Protesting isn’t being in the real world.

    Remember MAGA protests / “stop the count”? There is no requirement for protesters to engage with reality.

    The real world is actually doing things. Instead of yelling at people to pick up trash, you pick it up. Instead of yelling at people to fix Gaza, you begin the process.

    Literally the best case of protesting is that someone else gets up to do things.

      Do you think the Jan. 6 protests did not shape america at all?

      What impact did the protest movement against the vietnam war have in you opinion?

      You should show that first sentence to some people on the left if you can find any.
