It appears like among the Trump supporters discovered their lesson after 1/6 and aren’t going to be so simply led right into a protest. There’s nothing fallacious with a peaceable protest on the left or the fitting. Protesting towards the federal government is a constitutionally protected proper.
Donald Trump and his most excessive supporters are making it clear that they don’t need a peaceable protest. Trump and his far-allies need violence. They need a present of pressure. Trump and firm wish to scare the DOJ into backing off.
A peaceable protest with some indicators and slogans gained’t get it carried out.
The second issue is that right-wing media and Trump are overestimating what persons are keen to do for him. What number of of Trump’s supporters care sufficient about him getting raided to protest outdoors of the FBI?
The precise has not had current observe file for years in terms of massive attendance at protests. Keep in mind, the Trump speech on 1/6 wasn’t a protest, however a rally.
It’s already Wednesday, and it appears like the fitting’s present of fashionable outrage over Trump being raided goes to flop.
