I honestly think it's a lot more effective on overseas populations and that's part of why the CIA runs this shit. The whole free speech zone thing is great for cameras and looks a lot better than driving thru rural Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York, Washington, actually anywhere, it's all awful

For sure, it's a spectacle and it has been effective. I think the angle we should be taking on the left is to highlight how majority of Americans do not support what their government does, yet they have no means to effect change in policy. So, is this really a democracy, and does this form of free expression have any tangible meaning?
