Like honestly, I don't even get the point of these kind of protests. They seem self defeating and actively driving people away from your cause more than anything.

That and if you just did something wacky with that intersection by the GOP guy's office that doesn't outright block the intersection you'd get just as many eyes on what you're doing-- perhaps more, as the Police would not have grounds to remove you so you'd be able to maintain presence in the intersection that much longer.

Like legit peaceful protests do work. One of the better ones I've seen that is like this but not actually this was a massive mob of people just marching across town on foot. Crowded the hell out of the sidewalk to be sure and probably caused a bit of traffic congestion, but traffic was still more or less able to move normally cause there wasn't outright blockage of roads except when the mob had to cross one. And the coordinated mass of people got a lot of eyeballs on it-- was covered by the local news in Albuquerque because it was so weird to see that many people moving like a tidal wave.

But I mean there are other things you can do too. Like coordinating a flash mob to just start dancing in the area. Wacky beats disruptive every time. Ultimately getting eyes on your cause with a protest is priority one, but doing it in a way that doesn't get people who would normally support your cause pissed at you should be priority two. Feel like that nuance has been lost with a lot of protests these days, with people just using it as an excuse to be dicks moreso than to try and change things.
