    I am interested in learning which american peaceful protests have been successful that were not backed by force in the past 10 years?

    Did I not just link the final order booting the National Guard out of Portland, Oregon? Portland protested, non-violently, for weeks against having the National Guard there. BECAUSE the protests were non-violent, the judge ordered them out.

    It’s right in front of you. It’s not even something I am claiming, it’s literally what the judge said. All you had to do was read the first paragraph, man. I even quoted the text, but you couldn’t even be bothered with that.

    Same in Chicago. The National Guard presence was halted by a TRO (temporary restraining order) and then when the govt lost that on appeal, Trump withdrew the NG troops there and redeployed them to New Orleans. Here’s the full order:

    I know it’s killing you to even acknowledge its existence, but the proof is already there. The National Guard is out of both Chicago and Portland BECAUSE of peaceful protests.

    I brought my receipts. You don’t have jack shit.

      Do you think that’s over? What a dumb take. It’s like watching your enemy do a tactical retreat and thinking you’ve won the war. Portland is literally filled with ICE today. Do you think it worked? Seriously.
