I'm reading some books on the 1968 Chicago convention, Vietnam war and the 70s popular trends.
it struck me how different the protest is from the left and the right. We had the truckers protesting the Covid lock downs, but other than that, the protest from the MAGA folks was at Trump rallies. There were some major events with armed Proud Boys and so on, but the majority of the events were in the safe confines of some building or outdoor event center. There was parking! Vietnam protesters did not need cars or parking.
The same restrained attitude to protest came up with the BLM protests. The black people protesting were all "looters and criminals" according to MAGA.
It's all sanitized to give a safe family type of protest for them. No thought involved, even the signs they held ups were printed by Trump.
The violence did appear but those were basically young men with nothing to do, libertarians, not the white working class that Trump captured.
Separate from the MAGA protests, the anti-abortion movement has always been public.
