I’m really shocked they didn’t cave [within the first week or two]. I was nearly 100% certain they would.
I’ll work on my Nostradamus more.

SOPA and PIPA in 2012 is the one i remember. there might have been a couple since then but it’s not super common
mmmm sopapilla
is there anything that says letters and calls specifically influenced decisions? I would have thought the physical protests and even the wikipedia blackout would be much larger factors
i’m not sure how possible to know that is. i do know that liberal in-person protesting has never accomplished anything without a lingering threat of violence, and that the dinosaurs in congress don’t know what wikipedia or the internet are.
Yeah I guess actual hard evidence wouldn’t exsist I was thinking like a statement from a politician like ‘the amount of calls my office received from citizens on X issue made me revaluate my stance on it’
Err are you saying calls and letters are only effective if the include threats of violence?
no i mean like why the 1960s civil rights movement worked (for a few decades anyway) but shit like no kings, occupy wallstreet, or the 2000s anti-war protests in the US didn’t do anything
