    Regardless of your intentions, comments like this unfortunately just make people less likely to turn out at future protest. You don’t get millions on the street all at once. It takes time to build and that energy is building. Pessimism that nothing is enough isn’t helpful

    This hundreds in just one city, as part of ongoing movements nationwide where people are just starting to learn it exists. There have also been many others today each with hundreds. This is not a concentrated protest. It takes time to get there

      I see your good intentions but you don’t have the time to wait for that momentum to build up

      Unless you are expecting to fight out of concentration camps and militarized cities
