Most of those things were true for the French protestors as well. The reality is you have to accept heavy consequences if you want change. The right kind of had a protest movement in the tea party, which was a lot of retirees who didn’t have to worry about those concerns. It didn’t accomplish as much as they’d hoped, but neither have the yellow vests from what I’ve seen.Even Yellow Vest style protests wouldn't work for the Right Wing, as
1. Most Right Wingers can't take time off of their actual jobs to protest
2. Many Right Wingers don't want to be labelled as Right Wing since getting doxed could cost them a job/friendships. (Cancel Culture is also rife in some industries.)
3. Most media companies are still firmly in the Democrat's pocket, so no good press.
4. Depending on the area, hostile Democrat officials could launch attacks/gun grabbing raids on open Right Wingers. They could also withdraw police support and let antifa have their way with them.
5. Right Wing protest movements tend to be infiltrated by saboteurs, glow-in-the-darks, and attention whores looking for power/a payday.
6. There's no way for Right Wingers to stage a violent protest/insurrection without playing into the Leftist's hands. ("Oh look at those dangerous Nazis! I guess we were right to want to take away all of their guns!")
The only way out of Clown World is either A. Trump or other govt. officials drain the swamp (which seems like a pie in the sky idea given the sheer number of people currently in power who would have to be arrested,) or B. Total systemic collapse to the point where scarcity drives people to be self-interested bastards, just like they were throughout most of human history. The latter is probably more likely to happen, but it'll be as ugly as the southbound end of a northbound MovieBob.
