    The protests also killed the youth turnout and all progressive activism. The people who are normally at the forefront of activism were now fighting against the Dems. Enthousiam was utterly dead for Democrats. The low turnout is all the evidence needed. People did not even feel like going out to vote Democrat as they do not believe it mattered.

      Agreed…people who are generally not in battleground states. It’s clearly something that could impact future elections, but it’s also pretty clear that it didn’t have a strong impact on this election. There is no evidence of low Democrat turnout in battleground states.
