The civil rights movement wasn't successful because demonstrations blocked traffic or resulted in confrontations with police. It was the stories about what life was like for black Americans that reached the hearts of American voters (and, thereby, their politicians), particularly in the North.

It can be argued that during a time of limited (and perhaps complicit) media, disruptions were once the only way to garner attention and gain a public forum for grievances. Times have changed. Everyone is now the media. Anyone can hold a press conference at any time, and the internet will cover it if it is interesting to the public.

People who block traffic or cause mayhem for attention to their cause only succeed in convincing the public that they are attention whores who don't understand effective political organizing in this day and age. Put differently - they are losers whose messages are best ignored.

This applies to the freedom convoy and PeePee as well?

She's right. Look at the civil rights movement in the US. While Martin Luther King preached non-violence, he wasn't above inconveniencing people. They broke laws (sitting at lunch counters in the segregated south), blocked traffic (you may have heard about the march to Selma) and a slew of other things (like riding buses at the front). They got beat, had dogs attack them, were murdered for doing this. People watching in other parts of the US were horrified by what they saw. And, this caused Kennedy and LBJ to push through the civil rights laws. Were these protests popular? Not at the time. King was hated. When the Democrat's embraced civil rights, many southern politician switched parties and joined the GOP (look at Strom Thurman's switch from a Dixiecrat to a Republican as just one of literally hundreds of examples), which opposed many of these measures.

OK then, so what you are saying is that only people who you agree with should protest and everyone else should shut the fuck up. Good to know.

Because she sure as fuck doesn't like being inconvenienced to the point of wondering why they didn't arrest some guy calling her a hot piece of ass [paraphrasing]

Also, I disagree, your freedom of speech stops at my face.
Also the civil rights thing was going to happen anyways.
You think the people who hated King did so because he blocked traffic and broke laws? Seriously?
If your line is, well it works, that is the path to chaos as every group that wants change should just do what ever the fuck they want as long as it works.

But hey it's OK when your people do it right.

I guess it's one of those irregular verbs.

"I give confidential briefings, you leak, he has been charged under section 2a of the Official Secrets Act"
"I have an independent mind, You are eccentric, He is round the twist."
"I am firm, you are obstinate, he/she is a pig-headed fool."
I am sparkling; you are unusually talkative; he is drunk.
I know my own mind; you like things to be just so; they have to have everything their way.
I am a freedom fighter, you are a rebel, and he is a terrorist.
I am righteously indignant, you are annoyed, he is making a fuss over nothing.
I have reconsidered the matter, you have changed your mind, he has gone back on his word

I wonder how you felt about the Shmucks with Trucks in Ottawa.

People forget that King was loathed after he left the fairly easy wins of fighting racism in the South. And even back then he didn't have great numbers, with people who really disliked him outnumbering people who really liked him.

She just blew up that Florida congressman claiming he had evidence linking Joe B to Hunter B.
Caught him misleading, spelled out the scam. She was great.

Mr. Orifice must fantasize about having a threesome with Marge and Gaetz. Marge has proclaimed publicly that if The King of Kings wins the 2024 election, she would become his Heinrich Himmler. Matt Gaetz has ambitions to become the Governor of Florida...he'll have the female vote.
