I’ve been to many a protest, and those put on by liberals (as compared to those put on by further left organizations), aren’t so much focused on leveraging any kind of power, so much as they’re focused on the aesthetic act of protest.
It’s protest as a way to cleanse oneself of the sins of the moment. To say that you “Did something” whether or not that something had any material impact. It’s about feeling good, not doing good.
I might be whooshing here but you could also be a liberal and take action?
Protests are happening everywhere. If you aren’t too ill to do so, show up.
