The article discusses the prevalence of liberal causes in large-scale protests in the U.S., noting that 32 of the 34 largest single-day protests are linked to progressive issues. Key personality traits of liberals, such as openness to experience and political self-efficacy, may contribute to their higher likelihood of engaging in protests. The overwhelming participation in recent protests, like the June 14 "No Kings" protest against the Trump administration, reflects the mobilization of liberals around issues like police brutality and LGBTQ rights, affirming the trend of liberal-oriented public demonstrations.
According to the American Civil Liberties Union, which helped to organize the protest, the number of participants exceeded 5 million, which would make it the third largest single-day protest in the history of the United States.
The issues underlying the largest one-day protests in the United States are mostly associated with liberal, progressive causes, including ending police brutality, environmental protection, and LGBTQ rights.
