this argument, that nothing you can do will ever persuade anyone, is just an excuse to give up. you’re not trying to sway the guy shooting at you, you’re trying to sway the people watching—that’s what protest *is*

Optics aside, what about just making deportations too costly for the feds? If protests like this continue, would they give up?

Armand Domalewski

No, they’re using these protests as a way to whip votes for a bill to give ICE like 100B dollars

That’s true

Not all protest is intended to sway the people watching. You can disagree with the protesters on their tactics (which are questionable) but it's not helpful to just make statements like this as though it's an uncontested truth, when it isn't.

This argument is from people who have never led a successful political movement in American history

will the real victim please stand up

I just love that they had to reach for an example at a time where RADIO didn't exist and photos were a cumbersome process. Maybe the world changed a bit since

Poster is also just wrong (From The March on Washington)

"If you go back 135 years to this one specific example..."

This is your movement
