knightoffire55 06/14/25 3:03:15 PM #1:	Ive been seeing all these No Kings / anti-Trump protests popping up across the country. But heres the thing: does it actually reach anyone who isnt already anti-Trump? Most of the signs, chants, meetupstheyre happening in places like Philadelphia, LA, NYC, where turnout was always going to lean left . So it kinda feels like a massive rally for the converted, not something that sways anyone uncertain or pro-Trump. Sure, it feels empowering, but I cant shake this feeling: are we just patting ourselves on the back? Does anyone think these protests have actually changed heartsor are they doomed to stay an echo chamber? --- #IStandWithBalanWonderworld <cite>knightoffire55 posted [p:985436108] in These Trum...
