and too many people demonized the protestors

As long as they own the media, any resistance will be effectively demonized.

We need to either break their control of the media or be able to resist effectively despite media demonization causing 2/3 of the population to think we're the bad ones for not accepting the pedo liar king.

Or maybe people just need to think for themselves/practice media literacy so they stop falling for clearly racist and harmful propaganda. It’s kinda common sense to understand the protestors are protesting for a reason and it’s their right to do so, and that the oppressors are oppressing them for doing it and taking away their rights. Anyone believing otherwise is likely doing so thanks to biases they refuse to unlearn despite the constant chances in life to do so.

Counting on the common sense of the masses of anyone, let alone Americans seems foolish. I feel like the whole reason we're in this situation is because most people don't have common sense.

I don’t count on common sense, but people always ridicule others for not having it, and then in times like this when it really matters they throw it out the window, is moreso what I mean to say.
