yeah, protests dont do shit. Jill Stein will get millions of votes when she loses, and the fascists will still be in power, but a new generation of sheepdogs will arise to keep a lid on the simmering fury many ordinary middle class americans (the poor are too caught up in daily dramas arising from poverty and working mulitple jobs and voting has never worked for them anyway) feel as they gradually sink. my prediction is there will either be an external intervention, which the maniacs will respond to by nuking the world, or an internal uprising. general strikes to my limited knowledge would be more difficult and less likely to happen than multiple people going off in multiple states (think Aaron Bushnells without his amazing idealism, and fueled by rage) setting off a conflagration--the powers that be have been spreading fire accelerants on the ground for decades. true to form, they are ramping that up too, even as they start wars they can't win with nuclear powers who are trying to mind their own business peacefully--China, and yes, Russia. I don't know if Iran has nukes yet or not, but that is a war the US would need nukes to win anyway, and Russia and China would automatically be on Iran's side in that, knowing they were next.
