That world does not exist anymore.

Tactics must evolve. Wearing a silly hat isn't a tactic. It's wearing a silly hat. The online mockery alone could be seen from space.

Tangible actions are what the world understands now. In a culture based on memes, everything is risible and disposable. It's attention for ten minutes, because ten minutes is all we have to give.

You have to make the people in power uncomfortable. What about hanging out in the street for a few hours makes them uncomfortable? What damage have you done to them? What consequences have you generated?

In this day and age, the only thing the people in power understand is economic consequences. It isn't just People of Conscience that need reaching. It's the corporations. CEOs. The people paying for the government.

Make their lives miserable.

DeSantis gets this. When will our side?
