I think the fact a lot of people went out, were directly exposed to How Many People Care About This and are going to leave to a media landscape that barely acknowledges it happened at all might lift some blinders, too, for some people.

But a big protest like this is primarily a show of strength and opposition. It exists to be a symbol. That's often more than enough.
As I said earlier, the mere image of the contrast between Trump's limp parade and these No Kings protests is propaganda you couldn't buy for a million bucks.

I reiterate my point from four months ago: a more plausible place to start the conjuring of a well organized general strike is by working to unionize as many workplaces and sectors of the economy as we can.
This is not a step we should skip.

Do I think a well organized general strike would be rad? Of course I do!
Do I think folks posting “general strike!” on the socials is sufficient to conjure a well organized general strike into being? I do not.

Still at large:
A right-wing theocrat assassin, armed legally, in fact certified by the state to run around in an almost-police uniform with high-powered weapons.
From the Christian faction closest to our lawless president, whom they treat as a messiah.

For people who don’t know DC, this is less than the crowd on the Constitution Avenue *sidewalk* on a normal Saturday in June, July, or August.
