Do you protest? Armchair or street and does any of it matter?

I'm old and unwell so marching at a rally isn't really in the cards for me.  But I vote and after tRump was elected again, I took down the flag from my house.  Once he is gone, if he's not replaced by someone as bad or worse, I will display it again.

This past election is the first time I threw money at the DNC.

None of what I have done is earth-shattering but I am hoping that a lot of people doing little things will eventually add up to enough.

This is maybe tangentially related to my post but... why take down the flag? Isn't it precisely at times when things are going against what you believe your country is about that you should lean into love of country? The right does it all the time, I never understand why the left doesn't try and reclaim or share custody of patriotism.
