    That’s one reason these giant protest demonstrations are so important. These people are cowards at their core, and they want to be on the strongest side, so seeing millions of people demonstrating sends the message that anti-MAGA forces arent just some anti-American media jerks, there are millions of real people on their side. Many will see that, and conclude that they should get on the side with the numbers.

    Thats how HitlerPig built his following in the first place. The big crowds at his early rallies worked the same way to attract malleable followers to his side. Democrats can do the same thing with demonstrations that attract much larger crowds than his rallies.

      This is an interesting thought. It’s worrisome if they’d look like allies but don’t have any actual convictions, but I guess those people will always be with us.

        All we need is their votes, and barring that, their apathy, so they wont interfere when it kicks off.
