People can hold all the town halls they want. These days that is nothing more than a dog and pony show to give citizens the illusion that they have some say in what happens in their community. But at the end of the day they will do whatever they please.
Back then when communities were run by it's citizens and not shadow puppet masters, corporations, and NGOs this may have been been a viable route but no more. Like I mentioned elsewhere, civil interactions no longer sway these types. They are so psychologically brainwashed, so spiritually bankrupt/corrupted, and have lives so devoid of true meaning that they can no longer see and believe the truth of the actions being committed before them by certain demographics. All while supporting the destruction of their own countries and people. I used to think this was mostly just a rich liberal issue but the average citizen really has just become that stupid or castrated to their cause regardless of social class. I have a coworker: older aged, black, faggot, ultra sjw-type, and most importantly broke. This dude takes public transportation to work and has slowly become racist towards hispanics due to how much they have negatively impacted his living area in the hood as well as his ride to and from work. He still says he wont vote for Trump because "He's white and those mexicans really are the only thing I can agree with him on." One way tribal loyalty and racist to the core even at the cost of their own community and peace of mind. He also posts on social media about "his issues" but like town halls it wont go anywhere.
The only thing people in power here is a show of physical force and the power of a unified people. Take the 2020 riots for example. A bunch of organized chimpouts which could've been easily squashed but instead led to millions if not more in property damage, historic monuments being destroyed, record levels of theft, a cultural change in how blacks are viewed and treated with kids gloves, a short lived takeover in at least one town, weakening of police forces nationwide, and ultimately the majority of castrated whites throughout the country up to the white house kneeling as a sign of subservience to these criminals. Absolutely disgusting.
Another example is January 6. Less than a day of a genuine mostly peaceful protest. And you had politicians in fear of their lives and exaggerating and lying on social media what was really happening. Meanwhile you had every social media pariah with some influence calling for the arrest and prosecution of these individuals. To this day it's still brought up frequently. These elected cowards at the top know what they are guilty of doing in the background and their betrayal of the US citizens they are supposed to be serving. Thats why they fear an organized people on the verge of breaking and willing to now step over the line and take action into their own hands.
