Dozens of activist groups who claim to represent millions of Americans from both political parties plan to hit the streets next week, if President Donald Trump appears to be interfering with vote counting or manipulating poll results after Election Day.

    Just because libs will be protesting too doesn’t mean the left shouldn’t also be in the streets: https://crimethinc.com/2020/10/27/everybody-out-resources-for-a-season-of-post-election-unrest

    This will be similar to the airport protest coalition against the Muslim ban.

    Stop being so cynical.

    I think it might happen. There are already people in the streets weekly protesting police brutality. If a blatantly white supremacist administration is going to completely ignore the results of the administration, I think there is going to be some resistance in the streets. It won't be from the people you see posturing about RBG and Barrett on Twitter though.

    Will it change anything? Who knows, but if he does just cheat it away as obviously as it looks like he wants to try to, I don't think nothing will happen.

      I think it will look similar to the coalition that protested at airports against the Muslim ban.

      And with some large unions already promising a general strike, spreading that could turn the protests into a much more meaningful and radicalizing movement.
