Let me put it this way - would you go protest if you weren't sure anyone else were going?

The likely answer is no, especially if it's a protest that would get you arrested.

Social media isn't great, but with the full oligarchical takeover of mass media outlets (Sinclair, Fox), it's become one of the few avenues left for the public to voice (and subsequently act on) dissent.

This is the overall point I'm trying to make - yes, posting won't get the job done, but it can help if you do it right. And without people constantly standing up and speaking out about what's happening, no change is possible.

Because no one wants to be the only person at a protest, and unless other people know its happening, it'll be a party of one.
