Who said I'd take credit? Furthermore, if you think these rallies are going to stop the police state from cracking down, you are beyond delusional.

All it does is give them a head start on identifying whos rights to violate first when the gulags open for all citizens.

If you think 8 million people hanging out noticing that nonviolence isn't enough and sharing that dissatisfaction with each other doesn't help progress things towards more effective means of resistance, I don't know what to tell you. It's like complaining that grade school doesn't teach children algebra.

Where did I say it did nothing? I said it won't stop the police state from cracking down.
