I mean yes… but also no. People are protesting, and we definitely are seeing growth. I believe we are on the right track. Even Erica Chenoweth seems to think so. The issue is that we aren’t to the level we need to be yet. Unfortunately, that’s going to take time.
We lack a lack of culture of mass protest. That along with transportation issues, infighting, and with many people in a state of shock. It’s also only been two months. No mass movement in the US has ever formed within that timeframe.
There’s a lot to be optimistic about though. I find it inspiring seeing all these groups organize resources and people for the April 5th protest. It’s a huge undertaking to move that many people there. Seeing the massive organizational effort behind it is inspiring and a good sign for the future.
