Meaning
This reads as a statement of momentum, where protest is framed as the beginning of organized power rather than an isolated event. It can be taken to mean that what looked like a slogan has turned into real political force, and that disbelief from others only made the message sharper. It lands in moments when a movement starts translating public energy into results.
