The “civil rights movement” worked because its opponents were, for the most part, decent Christian people.
In our situation, that is not the case. The Mahatma himself said that Satyagraha could only have worked against the British, that with either Hitler or Stalin it would simply have led to a bloodbath.

It actually is the case. Trump voters vote for tge country they do not worship Trump’s. They don’t hang onto every word he says. I’ve never even been on twitter and I know what he’s doing
He is honest, law and order, he loves this country, he takes very good care of his family and people voted for him 10 million more in 2020 than theu did in 2016 after learning what a decent person he is
So I disagree.

Whatever. I don’t get your argument. Sorry I responded to begin with
I would not call Bull Connor or the Klansmen decent, nor I should think Christian, though I’m hardly the one to say.
The civil rights movement worked because of TV, which brought the ugliness and blatant un-Americanness of enforcing Jim Crow into every living room, where it got the attention of the decent people who couldn’t countenance turning a fire hose on children or sicking a dog on a man of the cloth of whatever color. JFK also reluctantly helped. Without TV, nothing would have ever happened.
TV is now a dinosaur. The Internet is where you go to get decent people’s attention, and a good thing, too. TV is for fake news, and willful ignorance in the name of subversive narratives.
