Awesome comment - useful info! I noted that change too.
I now choose not to participate in any form of public protest or demonstration for fear that actions by others that might result in disorder could lead me to be arrested and harm my work and private life in the future.
I'm the same, except it's because I've come to realize protest has no effectiveness against anything that the powers that be really want to push through. Life certainly became less stressful for me once I realized my political opinions or actions would have zero impact or relevance on a national level - so now I get on with more interesting stuff that does make a difference directly to me and my family :-)
