I get that public protests are fun and exciting, very communal. But I have yet to see many that were all that effective. It’s usually a bunch of really stupid chants and handful of reporters. It’s like a flash mob nobody wanted.
It doesn’t matter what the protest is about, whether or not it’s an important issue. They’re all important, I’m sure. It’s that they’re not effective anymore.
The left needs to come up with some new tricks. Poster board is not cutting it.
