Y'all are never getting anything done as long as the limit of your response to injustice is "call your senators".
The US needs more detonants like Luigi. There needs to be Luigis and people gathering behind them peacefully. This helps gather people on your side and helps build momentum. The administration's attack on peaceful crowds will only increase resentment, so they will try to incite violence from within to justify their attacks. However, a constant and peaceful resistance is the biggest weapon you have to advance the cause.

I propose fighting the good fight on all grounds you can, but also - you're just one person. I personally think the best thing you can do in this dark world is pick up litter, check on your neighbor, advocate for yourself, and try to develop a reflex for asking questions rather than automatically asserting yourself. What do you guys think? Also, to the person I'm directly responding to, I absolutely agree with you.
