The Importance of Yesterday's Protest Strategy

There are a lot of reasons yesterday's "No Kings" protests were important - numbers, enthusiasm, focus, organization, etc.

But one aspect of the organization strategy that is somewhat underappreciated is geographic coverage.

Everyone expects protestors to turn out in the big (subtext "liberal", "left-wing", "Democratic" ) cities.

Fascist leadership feels free to ignore those, having gerrymandered and vote-denied and otherwise vitiated the impact of those numbers in affecting opinion overall.

But yesterday people gathered in hundreds of towns and communities in red states, in red counties, in "heartland" places that have been considered MAGA strongholds.

And the protestors made it clear - they're no longer strongholds. There will be no more complicit silence, no more going along to get along. Civilly, non-violently, resistance is watching and will speak and take action.

Of course, the current clown car fascist cadre is too stupid to see the implications, but the apparatchiks in the fascist oligarchy aren't going to miss them.

It will be interesting to see where this goes.
