BLM didn’t have national organizing and it was the longest protest in American history. What is needed is a spark to convince enough people it’s time, and for those people to sustain so the avalanche grows.
I’m not saying it’s easy or that organizing isn’t important, but we do have a recent sustained protest movement to show that it’s possible.
I would love to be proven wrong, but I don’t think we can sustain a lengthy protest this time. I think as soon as there’s a hint of actual substantive action, Trump is going to throw his entire being into quashing it. I think he’s hoping it happens, honestly, so he can try to flex his authoritarian muscles.
Personally I think whatever happens needs to start and end relatively quickly. Holding signs and chanting isn’t going to get this done.
