    Protests are successful in places like France because they carry with them the implicit threat that the elites will sonner or later have their heads separated from their shoulders if they don’t address the concerns of the rest of the population.

    Several million Americans walking around in their own time holding boards decrying the current puppet of the elites ain’t going to scare the elites into letting go of some of their power.

    The murder by a single individual of a Healthcare Insurance company CEO had more concrete impact than this march of millions of Americans ever will.
