I’ve had dinner with Dink.
He’s a dude you’d get along great with in person.

And I’m all for this plan. we might have to take Mercy fishing though. If we fish I bet we can get Monty too.

You too huh? I know so many who rue the day they got that jab. At least the stock tips that come together with Bill Gates' telepathic social engineering commands help pay the bills.

We're a sad lot, EasternVol. Everyone in my social circle was vaxxed. It's been years since any of us was well enough to attend a social function (a mercy, since all our gatherings had become a sorrowful recounting of our innumerable vaccine injuries and a mourning of our departed friends who died cruel deaths at the hands of the jab). If only I knew what monster had marshalled the resources of our federal governnment to concoct this fiendish abomination, I would curse his name and the day he was born.

Dude….the “jab” conspiratards are the best.
I’m in great shape for my age but have been sidelined from running and hot yoga for a week because they want to run a couple tests. I have a slightly swollen ventricle with a low ejection fraction. Im also having PSAs. The tard up the street found out and said “I bet you wish you were unvaccinated “.

1-people unvaccinated and had covid 19 have the same side effects as the vaccinated at the same rate
2- my father had the exact same condition that was diagnosed when he was 59. We only found this because we were looking for it. I’m 57.
But you gotta love the ****** people watching you to have problems so they can feel self righteous about their conspiracies.


But I digress.

NONE.

All the beta males menacingly twirled their man buns in the general direction of LEOs.

All the bearded women with braided armpit hair threw cow patties and stale tofu at passing vehicles.

It was EPIC.

George Soros paid me $1,000 to participate yesterday and Qatar gave me a free jet. It was quite the windfall for something I would have done for free.

Noice. I'm waiting on my check (I'll still get paid) despite the fact that my gender transitioning counseling session / cuck hardware modeling show ran late.

Only someone that was there could have given such an accurate accounting, thanks for the insight.

I actually had a good laugh from that

Yes—**protests have repeatedly made a real, measurable difference in U.S. history**. They don’t always succeed, and change is often slow, but many major rights and policies came about *because of sustained public pressure*.

Here are some of the clearest examples:

---

## 🗳️ Civil rights movement

* The Civil Rights Movement used marches, boycotts, and protests to challenge segregation.
* Key figures like Martin Luther King Jr. helped mobilize national attention.

**Impact:**

* Civil Rights Act of 1964 (ended legal segregation)
* Voting Rights Act of 1965 (protected voting rights)

👉 These are some of the strongest examples of protests leading directly to major laws.

---

## 🪧 Women’s suffrage

* Decades of protests, marches, and civil disobedience pushed for voting rights.
* Activists like Susan B. Anthony played a central role.

**Impact:**

* Nineteenth Amendment (1920) gave women the right to vote.

---

## ☮️ Anti–Vietnam War protests

* Large-scale protests across the country opposed U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.

**Impact:**

* Shifted public opinion dramatically
* Increased pressure on leaders to withdraw troops

👉 While not the only factor, protests helped make continuing the war politically unsustainable.

---

## 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+ rights

* The Stonewall Riots sparked a broader movement for LGBTQ+ rights.

**Impact:**

* Long-term cultural and legal change
* Eventually contributed to rulings like Obergefell v. Hodges (legalized same-sex marriage nationwide)

---

## ⚙️ Labor movement

* Workers organized strikes and protests for better conditions in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

**Impact:**

* Minimum wage laws
* Safer workplaces
* The 8-hour workday becoming standard

---

## ⚫ Black Lives Matter era

* Protests after the killing of George Floyd spread nationwide.

**Impact:**

* Police reforms in some cities
* Increased national focus on racial justice
* Changes in corporate and institutional policies

---

## ⚖️ So—do protests “work”?

**Yes, but with caveats:**

* ✅ Most effective when sustained and organized
* ✅ Often work by shifting public opinion, not instantly changing laws
* ❌ Not all protests succeed
* ❌ Change can take years or decades

---

## 🧠 Bottom line

Protests are **one of the main ways ordinary people influence policy in the U.S.**. They rarely act alone—but when combined with legal action, elections, and media attention, they’ve helped drive some of the biggest changes in American history.

Great response!
I had a response to @508mikey 's answer of "no", but then I thought that anyone who would answer "no" wasn't going to be someone who would have a reasonable debate anyway.
