In France, a protest is a friendly reminder that power rests with the people and we will chop of your head if you do not do what you were elected to.
In the US, its a petition contest for the wittiest meme. Might as well post on reddit.

Highly recommended read!

the administration is tremendously unpopular on almost every polled metric. it has encountered vigorous local resistance whenever it has tried to exert force. it is still going to get much worse before it gets better, but they are not going to win. there is no rabbit in the hat they can pull out

What's a MAJ supposed to do when they watch GOFOs and COLs do nothing and say nothing about what went down with LA, the parade, Bragg, and criticism of MoH recipients?

There's no top cover, no leadership, no hard convos. Just abdication and servility from the top creating difficulties on down.
