I was at a protest/demonstration the other day. There were not too many signs, a couple chants, people from PSL were there, speakers talked about the urgent need to organize and confront racist state terror, and afterwards many people were meeting up and planning future discussions in the next couple days. It was a different atmosphere than previous protests, more camo apparel than normal and average looking people talking like "We need to stop the nazis now. No one else will save us." I agree with you, from what I've seen people seem to be entering a different stage, even a sort of lib friend of mine who has never really protested or been active in that way has been saying he's getting a gun.
