I kinda just think it’ll overall be like when Trump was inaugurated: Large, but peaceful, protests that’ll eventually and quietly die out.
Maybe a few people will do adventurism, but not on the scale we saw in 2020 with pds being burned down n shit.
I hope I’m wrong I really do, but I just don’t think libs have it in them, even over this
I don’t care what people think, the 2020 summer of love was the most successful the left ever came as a unified force in this country, I mean it all still came crashing and burning down but compared to like occupy wallstreet it actually had an impact on peoples lives.
idk, in recent history sure but I don’t think you can really compare it to the struggles and successes of the 30s, especially since they lasted more than a single summer and had massive effects on the social fabric and politics of the country that lasted for decades
A big difference between 2020 and the 1930s is that back then, American activists were happy to work with foreign powers like the USSR. Today most Americans willing to march in a protest (at least) would still view that as treachery—even to publicly express solidarity with Cuba or something. But the USA is such a big nasty fuckin’ beast, to paraphrase Queen Amidala: “we’re gonna need some help!”
