I absolutely do think there’s one key thing Democrats should have learned from MAGAs, and it’s “actually give young people jobs” It should not be immensely MORE profitable and easy to get a job in government if you’re both stupid and evil.

The "quiet part" here is that far too many journalists don't think a protest is newsworthy -- even when as many as 5 million people come out! -- unless there's violence. Millions of Americans following MLK's hallowed example of nonviolent protest doesn't cut it with them
