If you’re offended by this, and you really should be, the Powers That Be in California cannot change it. The protest needs to impact those making these decisions and right now it absolutely is not.
The representatives in Red states are in control in the house and senate. If it becomes clear they are acting against the will of the people they represent, that could actually change policy.
Right now, blue state reps have zero power, protesting to get their attention literally has no impact because they can’t do anything even if they wanted to.
Let me phrase it like this then… what have the protests in LA accomplished?
ICE is still operating with impunity, if anything they have accelerated.
Trump has increased military presence in places like D.C. and is threatening other cities.
The Supreme Court ruled it’s A-OK to detain people who look hispanic or are caught “speaking Spanish in public”.

So how is that different for red states?
The representatives in Red states are in control in the house and senate. If it becomes clear they are acting against the will of the people they represent, that could actually change policy.

Who said these protests were to get the attention of House and Senate reps?
I mean, that’s definitely a useful thing, but it’s certainly not the only goal of a protest.
