Why did the US population never protest about US military intervention in the early 20th century but then in late 20th century they opposite it?
A few did protest US military intervention. The American Anti-Imperialist League, formed in the era of the Spanish-American War, brought together major figures who thought the US was betraying its ideals by meddling in the affairs of other nations. Among its members were Mark Twain, philosopher William James, Jane Addams, and Andrew Carnegie.Mark Twain was the most eloquent and bitter, of course. He wrote some scathing satires, including his War Prayer in which soldiers pray for the power to “tear their soldiers to bloody shreds…”. Funny, but this doesn’t get the same attention as Tom Sawyer. Still the American Anti-Imperialist League suggests that protest has a long and noble history in America.The Attic -- For a Kinder, Cooler America
Why do the illegals that are protesting wave Mexican flags? Do they want BACK in Mexico?
If you noticed, there were less Mexican flags flying during these protests (even though there were MANY) because the organizers (la raza) were getting them to give them their Mexican flags, and giving them American flags to wave during the march. In other words, they were trying to hide what they are really all about. They didn't want all of America to see all those Mexican flags, because they know that there will be massive backlash, like there had been previously. These organizers are not stupid. They are spin wizards and they are going to try and dress this up to look harmless. If they hadn't interceded you would have seen nothing but Mexican flags, because that is where the hearts of these protesters truly lies - in Mexico. I say send them AND their flags back to Mexico! Adios!
Why did people protest against the Vietnam War?
I am just wondering why they would, if America was so against communism at the time. Was the communist party in Vietnam already abolished, and we were still in there fighting for no reason? any help woudl be appreciated. also, if anyone could just briefly explain the vietnam war, that would also help haha thank you!
Were there violent protests against obamas presidency?
No, they didn’t (at least not that I recall), and I’m sure they’d love to remind you of that fact as they give a stern glower at all those silly ‘libtards’ out there shouting about nothing. But here’s the thing…Nobody went out and aggressively protested against Barack Obama because their grievances weren’t legitimate, and they knew it.Nobody marched in the streets to bring awareness to Barack Obama being a secret Muslim because they knew he wasn’t a secret Muslim. Nobody burned limousines because he was born in Kenya because they knew he wasn’t born in Kenya. Nobody trashed a Starbucks, angry over his FEMA death camps, because they knew there were no FEMA death camps.The grievances against Donald Trump are many, and they are legitimate. If they weren’t, people wouldn’t be marching in the streets. People wouldn’t rapidly crowd airports if Donald Trump wasn’t illegally blocking the entry of lawful permanent residents, or telling refugees that they’re not welcome. Over a million people around the world wouldn’t march against Trump’s extreme sexism if Trump weren’t actually extremely sexist. People wouldn’t be standing ready to resist nearly everything Trump has said he’d do if those things weren’t either ethically or legally egregious.But they are, and people know they are, and that’s why there are regular demonstrations against that man, and against those who support him - because their grievances are legitimate.
Did the protests and counter culture movement of the 1960s weaken or strengthen America in the long run?
In the long run, it weakened every facit of American Society. Politically, socially, and culturally.
Why don't conservatives protest in America to show that their political views still matter?
The more conservative political party, the Republicans, currently controls the presidency, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, the majority of state governorships, and the majority of state governments.If this is what it looks like to “not matter,” what does “mattering” look like?Anyway, protesting is usually pretty pointless these days. They’re always relatively small crowds that get way too much media attention, and they’re preaching to the choir, so to speak. They’re more like political rallies for like-minded people than they are protests to force a change in policy.And they’re pretty much ignored by conservatives, both politicians and voters. Unless they turn in to riots. Then the conservatives use videos of it against liberals.Whenever you see a protest, try to find out how many people actually protested. Then compare that to how many people in the area didn’t protest. Then ask yourself if that protest warranted all of the media attention it got.According to our local NBC affiliate, about 80,000 people participated in the “March For Our Lives” protests last month.Over 80,000 Participated in Chicago's 'March for Our Lives'That’s in a very liberal metro area of about 9.5 million people. Even when you account for people who were too young, old, or ill to protest, that’s still a small percentage of people who bothered to dedicate even a little time to the protest. College football games get bigger crowds than that, and those people are actually paying to be there. It’s not free like a protest.I live in Chicago, and I wouldn’t have known the protest happened if not for the media coverage. The only people who actually cared were the people doing the protesting, and the people within a few blocks of the protest who noticed increased traffic in the area.So, why don’t conservatives protest? It’s pointless, and they don’t need to. They’re doing just fine without it.
