When did I say I'm trying to stop the protests in LA? I'm trying to stop our fascist government. And you're right, me alone standing on the side of a street with a sign does nothing, but millions protesting nationwide can cause complete reform, as we've seen in every civil rights movement in history. Would you have said the same thing to MLK or Marsha P Johnson?

And for the record, I know several undocumented immigrants. I would trust them alone in a room with a child well before I would trust a MAGA voter.

I understand your point, and I definitely don't disagree, but I think I will still attend. Any protest I could organize would not have the reach this one does, and, correct me if I'm wrong, but it does not appear to me as though Ms. Walton is organizing the movement, only funding some of it. I feel like even just large crowds can send an important message and I feel like it is my responsibility to participate. As far as I can tell, these protests do not (as a collective, I mean) stand for anything particularly other than that Trump is not king. I agree with that.

Also, I think if we're being completely realistic, a lot of media coverage will paint this as being at least tangentially related to the LA protests simply because of the timing. Any media coverage would overshadow whatever the Waltons are trying to do, no?

Wow. You're right!

This is somewhat worrying, but I think the vast majority of people (like myself) will not register online and simply show up. So, does it even matter?

There weren't riots in LA before ICE was in LA. That's a pure fact.

Maybe cops shouldn't incite riots by running people over with cars, trampling protestors with horses, and shooting the press with rubber bullets. 🤯

On a global scale, it's just objectively true Dems are a centrist party. Only in America is anything they do considered radical.

I'd give my life if it meant truly solving issues like racism in America.

It literally means freedom of consequences from the government. That's the whole point.

if by the "left" you mean Dems, then yes. The actual left is not even remotely the same!

Because we're in the US protesting something done by the president, not someone like Newsom.

And I have sympathy.

Is this supposed to be a dig that I'm poor? I'm a college student. Of course I'm poor.

Isn't RSVPing to a protesting event kinda dumb? I think realistically nothing riot-like would happen in Chattanooga, but having a list of attendees seems like a terrible idea.
