Whether deliberate or not I saw several posts here and on Reddit “organizing” protests for yesterday which occurred at different times than the 50501 events. The only real mitigating factor for that was for several of them, they were for protests in cities which weren’t the state capitol.

I did see tons of posts which were more classic discouragement, in line with the “just sit it out” ones you mention. Other notable message types were “this is a trap” or “you shouldn’t trust this, don’t go” or “they’re trying to get you to be violent so they can declare martial law.”
