What naysayers don’t get about ‘No Kings,’ the biggest protest in U.S. history

leaders with the most prominent Trump-resistance group organizing “No Kings” answered that complaint Saturday when Indivisible’s Ezra Levin took to the stage in Minneapolis and announced that a nationwide general strike is planned for May 1, modeled after a successful local action that shut down much of that region in January

    It’s easy to think protests don’t matter.

    They do. Just not directly.

    8 million people in the streets aren’t going to make literal traitors admit they were wrong and willingly leave their positions.

    But 8 million people in the streets sends a signal to everyone else that the opinions they already hold about this treasonous government are valid and that they are not alone.

    It’s a snowball effect. It’ll get bigger, if we’re persistent. Gotta keep the momentum building.
