Maybe the rationale behind the protest is not just for the heck of palming off delusion upon the public. Maybe it represents the views of far more people than are actually declaring theirs on here. But you may not know that if rather than being inviting, you wanna beef with every supposed fence sitter, or all whose (careful) attention to the probable effects of the planned protest resembles support for the status quo.
Fact is: managing change in a changing environment is every change-seeker's job, and it isn't easy. Yes, fundamental rights shouldn't be given away, but one gotta overstand that this country had a hell of a history as far as street protests are concerned, and even though the history of violence and highhandedness was largely to the shame of the shitstem that was, it's natural that people are still hesitant. Once bitten, twice shy they say.
BUT, if you must protest because you feel it's a silver bullet, they say honey catches more flies than vinegar - honey metaphorically meaning tact... and because taunting one another advantages no one, you gotta use honey to enlighten, to let the hesitant appreciate that protesting is not like anyone should lose their breathing privileges. The goal is to enlighten and if reasonably done, many may come round eventually.
