Why don't the democratic voters actually riot over Trump and Musk instead of writing nice words on a Musk-owned social media? (sh.itjust.works)

I think another point is hope, even if people start large protests, riots, etc. What can it achieve, who will achieve it? Short of a full revolution, will anything have an effect?

Trump wont step down even if the country is alight, with republicans in power in senate they wont impeach or muzzle trump.

Any sort of protests needs ro have a goal, something you can imagine it will achieve. If you cant picture anything postive coming from it, why would you want to?

This is it for me. I just don't see an outcome where politicians respond to protests in any way other than doubling down and arresting them.
