    The Silver Lining: Media coverage of the extensive protests in every city in America has been so light, that some people are asking why nobody is doing anything. Meanwhile Millions of people are protesting across America. Some protests have been higher than 5 million nationally, and they are growing. At 12 million, we reach 3.5%, which experts say is the threshold for a “tipping point,” which leads to trends like revolutions.

    But since the media isn’t covering it, most people have no idea how much is happening. That is, until HitlerPig and The MAGA Morons hit the stage and start puking all over everybody. THAT makes the news, and now EVERYBODY knows about the protests.

    Somebody should explain the Streisand Effect to these jokers.

        Two books:

        Mark Penn’s Microtrends: The Small Forces Behind Tomorrow’s Big Changes

        Malcolm Gladwell’s Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference

        I especially like Gladwell’s book, and his other books as well. Blink is another favorite of mine. I haven’t read Penn’s book in a long time, it may be getting a little dated.

          I read Gladwell already, which has its issues but taking at face value with a pinch of salt is good. I’ll check out the other one, thanks!
