    I wonder how many people at that protest didn’t vote in the last election. These protests are useless. Hold rallies for voter registration. Educate people about the impact of local government. Do anything but dress in a frog costume.

      Some of these people may well also have voted for Trump and regret it.

      Do anything but dress in a frog costume.

      That’s only to discredit the accusation that Portland is a lawless city when ICE and national guards were sent. If they are sent to No Kings protest because of claim that protestors are violent, then why not dress up as Kermit?

      Why would people who think voting is useless would go to a protest that you said is useless?

      The Boston rally on Oct 18th says they’ll have a bunch of local organizations with tables, so I think they are / one can take a “both” approach.

    Essentially (but sadly) this is a useless charade. Using one of your days off work to march and shout slogans is not hitting (or hurting) anyone who is propping up this fascist regime. Do this sort of thing during the week. Shut cities down. Make people in the C-level suites notice an actual change to their bottom line or this is all nothing but theater preaching to the converted.

      For something so pointless Mike Johnson and the usual stooges seem to be spending a lot of time talking about the upcoming protests using inflammatory rhetoric. One would think they might not bother if what you say were true.

      If you/we can’t even bother to attend a protest on a day off for a few hours, how the hell are we going to do it during the week, to shut cities down?
