"You have the right to protest" is the new "some of my best friends are black." Sure we agree in theory protesting is great and a cherished American right, but some cannot actually imagine a single form of protest they would find acceptable. Certainly not street protests. Not kneeling during the anthem. Not disrespecting the flag.
Maybe a letter to the editor? Or how about quiet reflection? Have protestors considered moving their protests inward, like keeping it in their inner monologue? Of course you can protest things that happen in this country, you have every right to, it's fundamental to democracy! But no one said your protest has to actually involve
doing anything.
