Tea party was like 300k, and the "million man march" was only like 400k. There arnt even a half a million of them that actually care, the rich people who agree with them just amplify their bullshit in all the news media that they own

Love that all but 3 of the protests on the list are left leaning. This country wants to fix itself so bad its inspiring.
Tea party: taxes are bad: 300k in 2009
March for isreal: muslims & human rights are bad: 290k in 2023
Anti globalization: whole world bad: 40k 1999
The right is tiny
We will win.

They'll cast these rallies as "angry" but everyone there is plainly having a great time because it's fun to get together with like-minded people to engage in the oldest American tradition: telling a tyrant to eat shit

And no one needs permission to do this so the campaigns can be decentralized and targeted to local communities.

There could be solid ICE counter-recruitment campaigns launched to discourage people from working for them and to encourage those working for them to quit. There are lots of examples of such campaigns from anti-war organizing.
