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.
One of the reason is that they never had to go through really tough times - as a country. We're living in times of prosperity and stability pretty much all of our lives. And we take it for granted. It's not !
But the thing is, that people do have power. Start calling your representatives, take it to the streets. All of you. If the 50% of voters that voted for Harris show up on the streets protesting, things will change. Take real action.
