"What if you threw a protest and no one showed up? The lack of angst and anger and emotion is a big positive"

The quote by Jay Alan Sekulow, "What if you threw a demonstration and nobody appeared? The absence of angst and anger and emotion is a huge positive", seems to check out the impact and ramifications of a lack of public response in a situation usually associated with strong emotional actions, such as demonstrations. Demonstrations normally emerge when a group wants to express dissent, look for modification, or highlight perceived oppression. They are inherently charged with emotions like anger, frustration, and a longing for modification.

The theoretical concern postured by Sekulow, "What if you tossed a demonstration and nobody showed up?" at first suggests a scenario where an anticipated or organized demonstration fails to attract participants. This absence of participation could counterintuitively indicate that the problems at hand may not provoke intense concern or extensive outrage among the people. In a society accustomed to handling regular public presentations, a non-attendance may mean contentment or passiveness, recommending that the anger and stress and anxiety that typically drive people to demonstration could be missing since either the concern is not viewed as relevant or pushing, or there has been resolution or satisfaction with the status quo.

Sekulow's remark that "the lack of angst and anger and feeling is a huge positive" can be translated as valuing stability and calm over disruptive expressions of discontent. It recommends that a society where protests do not occur may show an unified or sufficiently dealt with set of social issues. In this context, the lack of strong emotion highlights a perceived societal equilibrium instead of a lack of engagement. Nevertheless, it's also important to think about that this absence of visible dissent could indicate potential deficiencies in public discourse or barriers to participation. In some readings, it can indicate that marginalized voices aren't being heard or that people feel disempowered, recommending that the "huge positive" might not be completely favorable for all social sections.
