If nature abhors a vacuum, what vacuum is created when conservatives shun protesting?

Everybody knows that nature abhors a vacuum.

Well, we saw how successful the Tea Party protests were. But for decades, we've had a cancer that looks down on the constitutionally required act of protesting, as if that's just "a left wing thing". This is a widespread viewpoint among Establishment Republican, but its prevalence is both wide and deep and not limited to them.

It stands as a good topic for discussion. What kind of vacuum have you created by not protesting? There was no protest last April 15th, there have not been any protests in front of the Supreme Court for the last - I can't think of any Supreme Court decision protested by conservatives besides Roe. Certainly not Wickard. Certainly not Obergefell. Certainly not any other tens or hundreds that all deserved more heat than they got. There have never been any large-scale protests in front of major media outlets, and they're on the forefront of destroying everything. When the Department of Education was formed, there were no protests. Twitter and Google and all the rest of them are shutting down speech, I have not seen one major protest planned by anybody. This is the easiest and most direct way to engage in culture, and its the most unused and unleveraged.

We have a whole lot of protest-worthy issues that won't receive their due. Since they won't receive their due, what vacuum is being created?

Who is filling that vacuum?

  1. Objectivism and virtue ethics are gradually replacing the mystical altruism and initiation of force that define national socialism and its international competitors. In Roe, the 19th Amendment reaffirmed the 9th, 13th and 14th.
