I've been explaining the importance of some of the recent protests to some people I know, and these are some of the replies I have been getting. It's pathetic.

Protesting is part of how the left has been winning. We have to be out there, pushing an agenda of specific reform or at least defunding of leftist groups of experts in and out of the government, and put them on defense, instead of just reacting to leftist protests.

The protests got every governor to begin planning the end of the lockdown.

I have a personal success story about protesting. Clinton's Democrat Congress included a clause in either an appropriations or a defense bill that allowed the Chi-Com Cosco shipping company to lease the closed Long Beach Naval Station property. Through numerous protests on the streets and working with Sen. Inhofe's office, he submitted an amendment to that legislation that stopped it. Clinton had to sign it because most of his liberal agenda was in it, plus it was unpopular with his own party.

That was when the democrat party was still somewhat patriotic, and before Newt took the house.

I read a post in the Reopen California group on Facebook today that called on supporters of the lockdowns to fill balloons with paint and throw them at the cars of the protesters. This could have been posted by a troll, but given the Left’s fear of the protesters, it might have been for real.

Protesting is a numbers game. If we don’t show up, we can’t get the numbers. They matter. Speaking of which, there is always time for a phone call if you can’t show up. Contact INFO: https://www.usa.gov has info on locals, all the way to the top. Get involved.
