Their convention is going to be GLORIOUS.
I can’t wait.

You're almost certainly going to be disappointed.

There are progressive protests at almost every large political event, all the time, on all types of issues. It's something that is certain to happen, and was always certain to happen, on a wide variety of issues. It's just part of basic logistics and security planning now. Having some black community activists upset about immigrants will be a drop in the bucket.

Now - those particular protests - as opposed to protests about climate change or globalization or child care costs or student loan forgiveness or anything else - will probably get outsized coverage on conservative leaning media outlets. But between a convention that had those folks protesting and one that didn't, you'd never be able to tell the difference if you were there.
