Yeah Erica Chenoweth knows what she wrote, and her paper is being quoted out of context all over the place. She's not the one lying to people.

First, she already admitted that her rule has been broken several times since she wrote the paper. That was before No Kings.

Second, her data focused on regime change, not civil rights causes like "Abolish ICE" or "Black Lives Matter" or "No Kings."

But people are talking about No Kings like "C'mon guys! All we have to do is get to 3.5%, and then we win! It's like, science man!"🤡

Like, they just memory-holed BLM protests, and how massive and sustained they were.

@mekkaokerekemekka okereke @dgodonDemian @ohmuWeird Socks @fulanigirl Even with regime change, there are exceptions that clearly show that 3.5% is not some magic limit, only an inflection point on a curve. #Belarus protests in 2020-2021 lasted for over a year and involved 5-10% of the population, yet regime change didn't happen.

It's not just the kind of change, it is how entrenched the regime is. Be it 230 years of occupation or 400 years of slavery, generational prejudice has to be deconstructed, not just overthrown.
