Ok well that is your anecdote, the No Kings rallies have been some of the largest protests in US history and have approached the often quoted percentage of people necessary to ensure a successful social movement/revolution.

    And nothing changed? The pedo is still ordering his goons to kill citizens, they're trying to deport a member of Congress, and they're perpetuating the war in the middle east (and a myriad of other stuff).

    Where's the line? When will the Americans do anything about it?

    If the US protested right now the way France is, it would result in law enforcement being given complete permission to be as violent as they want because the "violent" left has finally come that they have spent decades hammering over the US people's heads about.

    Doing something about it first and foremost means not handing power to the narratives your enemy existentially needs you to feed into to retain legitimacy amd justify lethal violence against you.

    No Kings is run by the same Liberal organizations that support the Democratic party. They might as well be party sponsored events. Nothing will change when the Market liberal donkeys are in charge, besides the visibility of ICE.
