The reason that Trump had to strong-arm American Universities and deport anti-zionist organizers is because the protests were working. People were paying attention and the government was coming off badly. Opinion on Zionism is at a multi-decade low in the US. When the Universities cracked down to appease Trump, the protests should have stepped up. Unfortunately for the world, they faded away. Protests are very effective - they have toppled governments all over the world, including the decades-long regimes of brutal dictators. If more Americans find the courage and will to protest and strike, Trump and MAGA can be stopped. They want you to believe that protest doesn't work.
