I can always tell when someone has not ever been to a peaceful protest because they do not understand their true purpose.

The problem is that you are thinking of peaceful protests as the only form of action being suggested, when that it is simply not the case.

What is happening to the United States (and Canada, the Philippines, Turkey, Hungary, etc.) is an incredibly powerful disinformation campaign, meant to spread division, lies, hopelessness, anger, and fear through social media.

Step one to fight back is to get off social media and start engaging with your community directly.

At peaceful protests, you will connect with:

1. Groups looking for volunteers to organize even bigger protests and form coalitions.
2. Lists of businesses to boycott
3. Planned labor strikes and food drives for striking local union members
4. Sign ups for phone calls and letters to Congressional members calling for action.
5. Establishing support networks in case disaster strikes the community with first aid training.
6. Information on how to be prepared in case martial law is enacted and what to do if a protest turns violent.
7. All kinds of artists and musicians, using their talents to spread the word.
8. Peaceful protests are the best way to connect with underground and secret coalitions, because it is imperative all coordination takes place completely outside of the Internet for obvious reasons.

There's a lot more happening, so why don't you just attend one and find out for yourself if I'm telling you the truth or not?
