    I think you’re the one looking at things on way too short of time scale.

    You’re looking at the current protests as if they are the start of the movement.

    But protests have been going on against the rise of fascism and Trump since his first term. Almost a full decade of protests. Less and less people turning out each time as they realize it changes nothing. This isn’t the beginning, it’s the end.

      Protests flow in waves. After Trump was removed from office in 2020, it lost a lot of energy. The protests in his first term did successfully getting voted out of office and limited the damage. Now it’s growing again after a period of stagnation

      Look at the AFD protests and you’ll see they too also died down and then started growing again
