    It’s not a first step. This stuff happens all the time and it fades away in a couple weeks and everyone goes back to complaining but still participating in their problems. Social media is notorious for soft trends, a short attention span, and minimal effort.

      It only fades away if we let it. So, don’t let it fade away but rather ratchet up and start attaching specific demands to it like “Elon out of government, DOGE disbanded, and all dismissed federal workers reinstated.”

        People don’t do that, though. That’s the point. It’s wasted effort, proven to never work, but people keep bashing their head on the wall expecting a different result “this time” rather than trying something else.

        Their enemies certainly aren’t concerned. “It’s just another social media thing. It’ll be over before dinner.” Hell, sometimes they go more brazen just for laughs
