That is exactly why the midterms will be so important, not to mention the next presidential election. We need to keep the momentum going for a blue wave, and this protest may have helped with that.

The fact that No Kings was nonviolent was perfect, because trying to riot or a coup would have just enabled MAGA to justify state-sanctioned violence of their own.

Well, good thing that the Minnesota assassin is currently being held on state-level murder charges because Trump can't pardon non-federal charges.

Oh, thank goodness.

Cute to think there will be midterms. You need to act now.

Can I ask what you're doing to act? I don't mean it as a gotcha question, I'm actually curious. Because I don't know what the heck to do other than protest and vote.
