I see a lot of these pro x or y rallies/ protests that don’t have any other motives aside from chants yells honks etc. no financial donation backing no petitions signed, etc.

What are these for? Does it do anything?

No. It's a giant waste of time. Until they protests involve tar and feathering people, those in charge will not care.

Yes, the George Floyd protests made a lot of changes but not in a good way.

I don't care what the cause is, if people illegally block roadways for their cause it should be legal to run them over.

They’re not protesting. They’re working for a paycheck.

They work bc the goal is to cause chaos.

Not when they are paid by the hour. However, when you piss off enough people that they organically show up bc you've lost $2,000,000,000,000/yr for 4 years without ever passing an audit, the ensuing protest will assuredly produce results...

P.S. Protesting said Audits only expedites your demise.

they can be used for recruitment and fundraising not for effective policy change

Targeted protests might on occasion can work to influence certain legislators on a specific vote

I was in FL 2000..took part in organizing some pro-life and first amendment protests over the years

even prefilled out bail info but the pussy cops refused to arrest me

They allow compliant media to show them and virtue signal that the cause is just.

I;ve never seem mob activity result in anything positive. It always devolves to the lowest common denominators.

They accomplish nothing which is why politicians always talk so enthusiastically about how they support peacefully protesting. It's a great way to waste a bunch of time and energy and not actually accomplish anything.

No. Politicians are so separated from the American people. We stormed the damn capitol and all they want to do is throw people in jail instead of waking the frick up and realizing America is fed up with your lazy, pompous asses.

War is the only answer at this point.
