    Nebraska passing laws is different from the US Army running itself. Compare and contrast. Yes they are both protests, and roughly similar. The effects are very, very different.

    Factor in the Moscow-Mitch-refusing-to-hear-Merrick-Garland-to-steal-a-SCOTUS-seat that Tuberville’s apparently doing and it’s WAY different. Treasonous, even. Is a protest to demand bodily autonomy for all women different from what Tuberville is doing? Fuck yes. That’s why she’s hailed for it and he’s an asshole.

      I was simply pointing out that sometimes, depending on what a single person is holding the government up for, it’s a good thing. The right to protest effectively isn’t the problem, the problem is the asshole who is protesting an objectively bad thing.
