> no protests in the streets

The No Kings protest was estimated at 7 million people.

I'm not sure what the purpose is to go out on the streets for half a day, then everyone goes back inside and continue like nothing ever happen?

Go out, stay out until change is enacted. It's called striking, and if you had any sort of good unions, they'd be planning a general strike for a long time, and it should go on until you get change.

You know, like how other "modern" countries do it when the politicians forget who they actually work for.

  • General strikes weren't particularly common in the 60's in the US and those protests were considered widespread and effective.
