I srsly doubt that... look at the ominously promised "actions" in state capitals on Biden's inauguration day. Attendance was pathetic - mostly in the teens or lower, even though in half the states the average driving distance to the capital is under 100 miles. I think what happened was all the fed-up fist-shaking magatards who'd "had enough" saw the Jan 6 loonies being arrested and facing consequences for their actions, so they hunkered down at home and yelled at their TVs. That's about the most you can expect from the angry right wing at large. Now, contrast that with the BLM movement - marches went on week after week in city after city, all that summer, in spite of arrests, beatdowns, and even some deaths. The difference between the two is genuine commitment.
