===Why protest==

===Why protest===

Protesting offers conservatives a simple and effective way to engage with culture.  Far too often, [[Big tech]] organizations engage in censorship, Big [[Journalism]] omits stories that conservatives are interested in, and [[Republican]] legislators sometimes get squishy at the effective use of media push polling.  To combat this, an issue can be highlighted by the arrival and blockade of several city blocks by peaceful conservatives seeking a redress for grievances.  Examples of this include the protest in Virginia for [[Second Amendment]] rights in January, 2020, and the Tea Party Protests from 2009-2012.
