If the 50% of people voting for Harris show up, that would be maybe 30% of the US. Probably, not, but I feel like being generous. And that's assuming they all show up. Which we both know they won't.

I think people severely underestimate the level of apathy out in society right now. Until things affect them, they likely aren't gonna be terribly interested.




100% agree. But if 30% of the US showed up on the streets, that would already be unprecedented.

But somehow, people feel better doom scrolling and feeling powerless. It's kind of a nice excuse to not to do anything.

That worked most of the time, in the recent past. But it looks like we're at a major turning point in US history.


30% of the population protesting - that would be absolutely enormous! Revolutions are made by single digit numbers
