Did people just memory hole the 2020 riots? We had the police running scared and set fire to a pig station FFS.

Oh, absolutely it wasn't a revolution or anything. But to say nothing is ever attempted is silly. It didn't change much but it did show people that the public can overwhelm police if we work together it wasn't effective but it wasn't pointless imo.

You have to remember also that the left are suppressed with far more force than the right could ever dream of.

A small group of right-wingers were practically escorted into the capitol building on Jan 6, imagine if commies had attempted that.
