IMO when protesting becomes a substitute for civic engagement it relegates us to being reactive instead of proactive. Which means we're committing to perpetually pushing back instead of legislating forward.
I don't think we can look at the civil rights movement or the rise of unions and just assume that since protesting worked 100 years ago, it will work today.
Like for us to conclusively say the US No Kings protests had a material effect we'll need to see the GOP lose BIG in November's Midterms.
