Do you support the protests, or not? Are you waiting for corporate media to provide "a good look?" Was January 6th a "good look" for MAGA? It didn't slow them down. Why is that? Because they are committed to the battle. They don't care to persuade us, they want to suppress us, and kill us if need be.

People's complaints here should be directed at the media and at the administration, not the demonstrators. Too many here are folding like the proverbial cheap suit.

MAGA is waging war against us. The time for persuading them is far in the past. The hope that the corporate media will work in our favor should have long ago been dismissed. People need to wake up.
