Hit the streets and fight? Did this author not see how Trump handled the protests in Portland and DC?

Protesting is dead, peaceful or otherwise. Violent protest will be met with the National Guard and Secret Service.
If Americans wanted to protect their right to protest, they should’ve voted for Harris.
You mean Portland where they rioted for 100+ night in the row in 2020?
I think they mean the unmarked vans disappearing people off the streets.
But who knows.
But that did not kill the protesting, did it?
No, it invigorated it.
Bloody Sunday in Selma was one of the most successful protests in history, where police disproportionately responded to nonviolent disobedience by beating marchers with batons. It was successful not in spite of police violence, but because of it. The hundreds of demonstrators grew to thousands as people came from all across the country in solidarity.
A new Trump era means a renaissance of civil disruption. The methods competent police have developed to blunt the effect of protest don’t project the strong-man image fascists crave. Protest will become much more dangerous again, but will also become much more effective.
I’m not responding to shit. You guys voted for this so I’m coasting by on my middle class white privilege from now on. I tried to reinforce the dam and everyone around me decided to blow it up instead. Now it’s time to sink or swim on your own. I’m not wasting any more time trying to help people who won’t help themselves.
Ah yes, the “good German” strategy. It may or may not actually work for you.
Liberal democracy has been decaying for a while, so this result was going to happen sooner or later. If we don’t want to be dragged backwards into autocracy and feudalism, then anarchism is the path forward.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. Are you aware that black people were the largest demographic that voted for Harris by over a 30% margin?
We seem to be on an irreversible path now. That means what it means for all of us, including black people. What certain groups wanted to happen doesn’t make any difference. If you’re suggesting it does then you’re not basing that on reality but rather what you wish reality was.
