    Protests in the way they are currently done in the USA are meaningless, that’s why I added meaningful in front of it. If the protest is scheduled to end after 6 hours and happens every few weeks, why should the government care?

    And don’t come with the “we are economically scared and don’t have enough funds for that” bullshit. Do you think the people protesting the socialist governments at the end of the 80s under fear of being taken prisoner had a big secure funding or did they protest because they were fed up with their situation and protested as long as necessary to bring down their dictators?

    Do you think the people protesting the islamist governments in the Arab Spring under fear of being taken prisoner had a big secure funding or did they protest because they were fed up with their situation and protested as long as necessary to bring down their dictators?
