All the protesters aglow in their self righteousness, having no impact but enjoying a day in the sun at least.

@1: No, they really do have impact over time and with more frequency political decisions are made because of them and there have been several reversals on firings by the Trump admin so far. Your own self righteousness is misplaced.

@1, @2: One thousand anti-Trump protestors in a Left Coast city is not news. Fifty thousand, one hundred thousand, now you might be getting towards news. But the Stranger always prefers performative protests to any useful action, even when there are literal lives at stake, https://www.thestranger.com/slog/2022/05/04/72555229/democrats-want-your-vote-socialists-want-your-feet-on-the-street/comments

@3 That's because people protesting motivate other people to vote with them. The news about the Anti-Trump protests is that they all over the country, even in deep red areas, not just liberal cities. So protests are useful action.

"That's because people protesting motivate other people to vote with them."

Evidence for which is what, exactly?

If you hold a protest in an area that agrees with you can you really call it a protest?
Call it what you’d like though. End result is the same.
Nothing was accomplished

LOL, Seattle might be blue but there are still tens of thousands of Trump voters. You crazy socialists could only come up with one thousand protestors at Cal Anderson?

You know, I used to fear the authoritarian left, but you couldn't put together a car wash.

The MAGA faithful had a very lovely and restorative weekend. We don't fear you any longer.

@5 History. People who show up to protest are also the people who then volunteer to help politicians advancing their side of that debate.

@7 That was only one of several demonstrations going on that day. Also, there is no authoritarian left to speak of in America, unlike the openly Fascist Trump/MAGA movement.

As for a car wash, you have absolutely no idea of the logistics that was involved in keeping Occupy Seattle going. Many of us on the left here in Seattle have experience with large operations like HempFest or the Fremont Solstice Parade/Fair. You right wing nut jobs can't do anything as simple as seizing a wildlife refuge and not immediately putting out a call for help because nobody even brought snack foods, much less the supplies for an extended camp-out. The only thing they could organize were their guns and ammo.

You do a great job of proving how stupid MAGAts vermin are.
