Two unpopular opinions: Who is President matters way less than we think it does; it’s mostly emotional. Protesting is one of the worst things you can do politically, because it’s an incredible amount of effort for practically no result other than showing n people feel some way.
Do you think the lessons about protesting are still true today? In the past that was the only way to gather sentiment

During the May Fourth movement (1919), Chinese students gathered in Tiananmen Square demanding that the Chinese gov not sign the Treaty of Versaille because it gave Shandong province to Japan. Arguably the day Chiang Kai-shek really started losing power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Fourth_Movement …

Never mind, I think I see what you mean... But of a stretch though given Chiang wouldn't come to power for almost 10 more years

Actually, Chiang Kai-shek was a founding member of the KMT after the success of the 1911 Revolution.

Do you think 20 million actual people protesting at the FCC HQ for NetNeutrality would make more or less impact than 20 million online comments? Physical presence matters.

Especially when online comments get brushed off as fake.
