Protests are critical to resistance to authoritarianism - they help facilitate collective action and overcome preference falsification. There are lots of people who will stand up if others do too.

They will grow even larger.
As the ramifications of these fucking tariffs and cuts actually become REAL to everyone, yes...these demonstrations (AND THEY WERE ALL PEACEFUL!) will grow and. grow.

Anyone near DC is welcome to meet me any my 10YO by the WH next Sat
We have two more Saturdays before the Insurrection Act gets invoked and the boy has to quit
One anemic story “below the fold” in major papers. Only CNN correctly reported that millions turned out.
When we started the Tesla protests 9 weeks ago in my town, a lot of people would not show up out of fear.
This week we had something like 50,000 people protest in Madison.
Or if people are rounded up, protestors would go first. This type of stuff, I guess.
Overall, we've had too much fear, to much "be afraid." We need courage.
