      I don’t think that’s true. There’s big power in what people demonstrably believe.

      Knowing that everyone else is fighting back too is emboldening.

        25 years ago, maybe.

        Now, seeing protest after protest while the Trump administration does whatever it wants EVEN HARDER is like watching the opposing team in Air Bud wring their hands about the rulebook while a fucking golden retriever dunks on them over and over.

        Peaceful protests are feeding demoralization and making things worse, not better.
