I do not disagree and I am protesting but my question is… how does this ultimately save us that is a serious question. I don’t think millions of people hitting the streets is going to make them change if they don’t have to??

It will though. George Floyd, the Women's March have faded but policing was reformed (not entirely by any means), and Weinstein is in prison, CEO's deposed. Civil Rights, Women's Rights, Gay Rights all through protest. Syria evolved into revolution, but others don't https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-power-of-protest-in-the-us/
I feel like the change we need is removing the current administration, how will protesting reach that goal or is that where a revolution comes in? I guess I’m asking if we can remove them without violence?
Removing or reigning in. The Republican congress is complicit and unable to be countered by the minority party members. We need the movement that comes from protest. That collective voice will break through the lies and weakness of media and CEOs. Propaganda fails against facts. It fails, we win.
Thank you for the clarification, all I see is lawlessness and no one caring about any constraints so it’s hard to see it working. I have hope which is why I’m resisting but with the Supreme Court things are looking pretty scary.
