Yeah, so start a civil war or gtfo!!

Protest are pretty effective, otherwise Donnie wouldn’t be trying to discredit them all the time. Take a look at Serbia in the last year, the regime is shitting his pants because a big wave of peaceful protests with a wide public support is rolling through the country.

Protests may not help in the exact moment ICE is upon you, but in the long run big peaceful protests seem to lead to more sustainable changes than riots.
