I very much appreciate the research and optimism of @chenoweth.bsky.social but while small targeted protests might at times work in functioning democracies, I doubt they will deter authoritarian leaders — particularly when the media are uninterested in opposition.

Protests of Trump may not look like the mass marches in 2017, but they're far more numerous and frequent — and also becoming more strategic.
