No Reverend.

It's a movement supported by some American people, but a very small percentage, far left fringe.

Further, nothing about this is organic.

It wasn't your personal idea to go out and protest. Someone signaled it to you--the National Strike or whatever it was called. You simply complied with your group-think and are now smug and self-satisfied that you "peacefully protested."

You can give yourself a great big pat on the back and tell yourself your performative little outing makes you morally and ethically superior to people who don't share your political views. It's all about making yourself feel good.

Remember BLM? What happened to that?

Remember "No Kings"? What happened to that?

This is simply the latest "flavor of the month" from professional leftist grifters and their hand puppets.

There are somewhere in excess of 250 million adults living in America nowadays.

Even the "No Kings" protests, at their most generous estimate, might have had 5 million people or so showing up.

5/250 = 2%.

Be honest with yourself. How many people actually participated in your local protest the other night? 100? 1,000? 5,000? Do you even know?

Now divide that number by the total adult population in your community or wherever your local protest was trying to draw from.

It's probably around 2% at best.

Like I said, not just a minority viewpoint, it's a fringe minority viewpoint.

You are definitely entitled to peacefully protest, that's your right.

You are not entitled to assume that the viewpoints of a fringe minority takes precedence in terms of political outcomes.

Not in a democracy and not in a democratic republic.
