When was the last time it worked?

I watch people protest, some act inappropriately. However, when was the last time it worked? All of the anger and protesting against the latest judge nominee and he was still confirmed. The same thing happened before, same results. Am I the only one asking this question.

It worked during the Civil Rights movement. It worked to some extent during Vietnam, brought attention to Apartheid and marriage equality. Non violent protests are much preferable to terrorist acts.

@bijouxbroussard yes, but back then people had basic respect for life and they kept sacred things in a sacred place. Now people show no respect and have no limits. Thank you for your response.

@Capt11 No, in fact. The people we were fighting had no respect for our lives whatsoever. The KKK lynched thousands of men, women and children during a large part of the early and mid-20th century as well as bombing private homes and in one instance bombed a church, killing 4 little girls. That people managed to protest non-violently in the face of actual violence and domestic terrorism is pretty remarkable.

@bijouxbroussard I am aware of the history thank you. Perhaps I did not articulate my point properly. I have enjoyed our correspondence, have a great day.
