I wonder what these people expect to have happen when they do this. Are they hoping that ICE agents will see this and go "Oh no, I'm acting Un-American and will change my behaviour posthaste!" or are they hoping that this will be in the "history books" to show that they were on the "right side of history" or something? Like, what result do they imagine this will actually achieve?
what does anybody participating in any way think the direct outcome of their specific presence is? does anybody think they are the linchpin of the revolution?
you're right, why bother doing anything.
lol nice analysis
What? I mean, what is the point in bringing a giant constitution of the US to a protest like this and carrying it around like a sacred artifact?
What do liberals think will happen when they protest in this way? It feels like they are praying to the US civil religion to smite their enemies, rather than organising and working towards specific goals when they do this. This is just pure empty spectacle. And maybe I'm coming across more abrasive than I intended, but I genuinely do what to know what the thought process is behind this, because it makes it easier to understand why they do it and how to direct them towards more effective forms of resistance.
