Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

How many do you think it would take?
5,000 (+- some) dedicated people who communicated well with each other and others. Who were willing to just stay in the streets until the government changed. The only one demand given: the president had to step down.
I’ve seen revolutions start with less, but America is large.
The President isn't the problem. He's certainly "a" problem, but let's not pretend that Vance is going to be any better.
Get rid of all the corrupt Republicans (redundant phrase), and you will still have MAGA, the silicon valley tech bros, a corrupt financial system, white/Christian nationalists, and the military industrial complex.
Then we have the Democrats who have proven themselves over and over again to be incapable of standing up against any of these groups.
Whatever we protest for, any result worth the effort has to address the systemic failures that led to the Trump presidency. Anything less is performative at best.
So, I’m just sort of typing without thinking about it much. But Trump will never step down, it’s an impossible demand, but it’s incendiary enough for orange face to not ignore it. This remains in the press cycle because it’s personal to him, there will be constant agitation by police and agencies against the protesters who just stay or regroup.
Assuming the original protesters stay the course, this will attract more and more participants because Trump himself, and the gop, will keep it in the news.
This is a positive growth cycle; eventually the demand will be the entire White House vacate when there enough protestors, and it’s now a revolution, peaceful it may be
The "Heritage" Foundation and all the tax-favored entities like it (incl. "religious" ones) will need to be dealt with.
the democratic party leadership are not just incapable, they are not on our side. They are servants of the rich.
Not all Democrats are in sync with party leadership though.
