Protesting doesn’t do anything these days. The people in charge are so powerful they just look out their office windows and say “How cute, they are cranky!”

Protesting is ALWAYS the way. The problem we have these days is we cannot get the masses to come together on any one topic.

If we got every Vermonter together to flood the streets they would eventually give in.

What if we all didn’t register our cars in unison this year?

The unified not registering is a good idea! They can’t pull EVERY vermonter over haha

Protesting in the American sense - effectively-sanctioned inner-city riots far from the seats of power, performative kumbaya-singing, etc - sure doesn't. We could take a cue from the French: they've been shutting down their country with enormous strikes, including the electrical workers' unions shutting off power selectively to the mansions of rich people and politicians. Unfathomably based.
