    I see it as a gateway. A lot of people will go to the protest, talk to other people, and maybe get involved with something more meaningful.

      that’s the most common reason i’ve heard, but experience from previous protests teaches me that americans are STRONGLY biased against leftist movement so an overwhelming majority will not get anything meaningful out of it and only the ones who are already receptive might continue down this path.
