People are expecting millions to march all at once.

There should be.

Agreed, but that requires thinking as a collective. American culture is hyper individualistic.

It's also like <30° everywhere so the expectation would be no protests (and they're actually defying that anyway)

In Portland the protest was so efficient because the parking lot for ICE is the same parking lot as the Tesla dealership!

Show them this Reddit thread with photos and videos of huge protests across the country happening RIGHT NOW! https://www.reddit.com/r/50501/new/ Media isn't reporting on this, which is why most people don't even know it's happening.

lots of suppression. in 2020 when BLM was protesting, the footage was everywhere. you couldn't avoid it. every major social media had them trending.

the oppressors saw and its one of the reasons they pushed to change twitter and tiktok.

now u don't see them unless you're actively looking for them.

During the Biden administration, political speeches were interrupted, campuses were taken over, my goodness…a custodian was held hostage.🤦🏽‍♂️

Nothing close to that vitriol is being displayed. Is it because of fear of the current administration, or did they just hate the former one?

I assume social media suppression and some people just don’t go outside

In NYC, we’ve also been protesting our mayor. (Somewhat for his collaboration with ICE but also just cause he’s generally corrupt and needs to go for so many reasons.)

A few hundred people here and there is honestly quite pathetic given the seriousness of the problem. There should be millions on the street.

I think they are talking about mass protests. If they would focus on Elon Musk, his companies, places were he is visiting,the agencies where his hacking muskrats are working, you will get momentum, crazy tweets from him and the attention of the media.
