Even if the bottom wasn’t a celebration it’s the same outcome. I’ve been saying forever already that screaming and crying at a building, holding a sign, and then going home accomplishes absolutely nothing. It may be a way to show people that they’re not alone in their disgust, but it can’t be the only thing we do over and over and over and over…
We need to be starting fires, being a nuisance, and actually causing trouble for anyone to actually be moved to change.
Demonstrations do work, maybe not in the way you think the demonstrators want it to work out, but they surly give attention to a problem.
And it is not only internal, it is important to constantly show the world, the e.g. not all Americans are fascists (by demonstrating against trump) etc.
If no one demonstrates, the rest of the world thinks, that the whole population of that country agrees with its government.

Remember when a million people protested a war and the war still happened?
