    It can if you do it right and have a purpose. Martin Luther King Jr. Did peaceful protests and changed America for the better.

    The problem is there is very little to protest. If you are protesting current issues chances are your political party is already trying to accomplish those things. They are then fighting the opposite party for control.

      This is a very uninformed understanding of history and politics.
