That is a fair point and I agree.
I was thinking that maybe what a democratic nation needs is a park or square that people can gather freely anytime and perhaps yell,hold signs,have sit ins, or march. This could be maintained like a city park with facilities and other esentials.
Maybe if there is an option like this it would help get rid of the "just sticking it to the man cause I am defying the goverment" crowd. Yeah my tax dollars will pay for it but I bet an annual budget to run a facility like this would be cheaper than a spiked expense when protests just happen and cities scramble and pay top dollar to avoid poor optics.
Just kicking around ideas here and I would assume that there are a ton of cons to this idea too. It would probably just turn into a homelss square though.
