This is why we need to do this again, and again, and again until things change. Everyone who attended yesterday needs to bring 1 more person to the next one.
If we could keep that momentum for two more protests our numbers alone would force change. 5 mill. becomes 10 becomes 20 becomes the future.
OWS was a legitimately important demonstration but at its peak was 20k and I'll even double that number 40k in one primary location. Yesterday was 100x that, >5mil, across the countries. There were old money blue hairs protesting in the most red suburbs of NYC. 100s of 1000s in the Bible belt.
Meanwhile, both NBC and PBS reported “tens of thousands” of protesters at more than 1,000 rallies across the country. Somebody explain THAT math to me.

It's really telling how they did their best to ignore these protests but were all over the Tea Party protests back in the day, which were nothing but a few hundred Koch paid actors with a few real nutjobs pushed to everyone's screen repeatedly.

So unlike J6.

If OWS had worked, we wouldn't be here now.
There must be an escalation at some point, as I have said for years.
The question is when others will accept that protest isn't enough to defeat tyrant fascists.
