Following up on theNoKings protest & polls on election day. More people say that they suport the #NoKings movement than support the MAGA movement.
No surprise since the president's approval is under 50% & only 33% believe he is making the country stronger. Protests reflected popular sentiment.

@asa-cbsm.bsky.social #contentiousky #CBSM2025 🧵 Some take-aways about protest and social movements. (1) Protest movements have opponents, who will fight back if they lose, things are never settled. (2) You protest when you are in a losing position, of course protest does not always win 1/
