This is the way, probably never happen. People have tried organizing over and over without success.

I disagree. They may not have achieved their goals, but they have often achieved a step towards it. Riots for the abolition of work may lead to less working hours and better protection. Stonewall was a riot..stuff for queer folks is far from perfect but has improved a lot in the last decades in many countries.

You can disagree all you want that’s fine and dandy, but America right now won’t rise up and riot against Trump. Atleast enough where it would matter. Too many people can go about their daily lives no matter what, too many dumb people supporting him, too many of everything except people who want to overthrow him.

Ah yeah, I realize I misunderstood you. I thought you meant that rioting/organizing against this system in general (historically) doesn't work.

But I still believe that organizing matters, always. Even if it only saves a few people from being deported or makes change more difficult it is meaningful. I may not bring Trump out of office, that might be true
