Controversial question about protesting.

I applaud the idea that we are protesting authoritarianism in this country but is peaceful protesting enough? At some point don't the farmers have to stand outside Tom Emmer's door in Delano holding torches and pitchforks? It doesn't seem to me that tweating is going to make these guys change their vote or get the Epstein files released. Filing lawsuits only to have them appealed up to a stacked supreme court seems to be a waste of time. They just ignore any verdict against them anyway. Who's going to enforce it? Lawsuits take a lot of time and money. Are we just waiting for Trump to die from old age? What about the next guy? Is this country going to be fixed by wearing $50 inflatable frog suits from Walmart? Really?! That sounds like a new bloodless french revolution.

If there was anything in the Epstein files, it would have been released by the last Admin. They had every opportunity in the last four years, yet nothing happened. I wonder why??? 😉

@nudistsueaz Because what's there cuts both ways, and whoever is out of power can point fingers knowing that those in power will not self-incriminate? Otherwise, why not be transparent to the people and let the chips fall where they may in regards to public figures? Too many oligarchs paying hush money -- er, making donations -- to do that?

@dancingtongue Sounds like you have read the report. I would love to see it, I'm curious. Could you please send me a copy?

@nudistsueaz Have not. But have spent 70+ years reading how people and organizations act/behave; particularly politicians and those in control.
