Republicans have begun to frame the protests as “hate America rallies,”
I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but exercising your right to protest is one of most patriotic things you can possibly do.
Share that message with anyone you know who needs to hear it.
Some people are reclaiming the flag at protests
It’s needed, to show in photos where the protests are happening. Don’t let them handwave the photos away as some third-world country.
They’re doing the opposite, using riots in third works countries to try to convince their idiots that shit is happening here. There’s a non-zero chance that Dementia Donald actually believes those pictures they show on Fox are real and that’s why he’s doing this
I hate MAGA’s America, and will fight to kill it.
Yeah, I mean they literally founded their country via a protest which resulted in tea getting chucked into Boston harbor.
I can’t believe 1700s antifa destroyed private property
Anteafa
What’s this a play on?
an-ti-fa » an-tea-fa
Because of the chucking of tea into the harbor.
And they were also in costume!
We sit around and bitch about the corporations caving to the alt-Reich, about Congress people just giving in to Trump, about ICE not having a conscience to do the things they do.
Yet as long as we only sit and bitch, as long as we’re not fighting back in some way, we are also complicit in what our country’s government does.
If you honk your horn to warn people ICE is around, you are protecting them. If you protest the regime, others will see that there’s are others standing up and this is not inevitable. If you call your Congress people, you are telling them what the will of the people is, and that people are watching their actions. You don’t have to do everything, but you should be doing something.
How can you expect corporations to care or Congress people to have a spine, if you won’t even pick up a phone? Courage, and consciences, are contagious.

There was an interview about a year and a half ago, with some Congress person who was asked why they made so many right-leaning votes. They said that, out of every 5 phone calls they received on an issue, 4 of them supported the right and only 1 can would support the left (because the right wing is really good at stirring up their base). While money does talk, so do the people - at least for now.
This coinciding with the government shutdown could increase turnout and really fuck with city operations.
I recall the first trump term’e shutdown ending when protests shut down leguarda airport.
If only the conditions making these protests necessary could have been prevented…
Oh wait, you helped them happen. Enjoy the fake internet points. Can’t wait to see your next agenda.
Edit: Apparently it’s been forgotten that Ozma plastered several communities with articles trashing both Biden and Harris running up to the election.
Edit edit to also remind that while trashing Dem candidates, we got crickets from them about Donnie and friends. It was an obvious agenda that several people recognized at the time. They did it before and they will do it again. Wait for election year.
It’s irrelevant to what OP posted, but you are correct. I remember specifically calling them out over the endless slanted posting against Dems during the election. Never a word against Trump
He literally has dozens of posts that are anti-Trump right now, and he’s never once said Trump has done anything good.
How about you look back further to the time period we are actually talking about…
They did not mention anything against Trump; in fact they didn’t mention Trump hardly at all. They almost exclusively shit on Biden and Harris which is just as effective as promoting Diaper Don.
Which happens to be exactly what I said.
Sure man, whatever you wanna believe about another user. Ozma is a secret Trump supporter who single handedly cost Harris the election.
Never said that. Stop twisting my words and kindly piss off.
Twisting the words of one user here is accepted but not yours, got it. I’ll back out.
I think you’re getting down voted because people don’t know from your original comment that you were referring to OP.
But yeah. Fuck these fake leftists who rallied hard against the idea of voting for Harris over Trump, then turn around crying and shivering that their virtue signal boycott surrendered the country to fascism.
Yes ozma alone is somehow responsible, on a niche online forum, instead of the people poorly planning a campaign.
If even one person was influenced by the one-sided crap they posted, then they are absolutely responsible for contributing to the result.
I at no time said they alone made anything happen. They were doing their best to contribute to it. Stop taking my comments out of context.
Shit’s never going to change because we keep scheduling protests instead of protesting every day in every way possible. At home, at work; protest everywhere.
This is necessary to get people started out.
Gets them familiar with how protesting needs to be done.
So when shit inevitably gets worse, they and their friends who stayed home last time will be out again and likely for longer too.
You want to move millions of people to fight for freedom? Gotta get them used to the motions first.
Yep! I for one will be carrying a sign promoting www.generalstrikeus.com as the next big step we can take as a people against the ruling class.
STILL no kings? Is there at least an ETA?
The last one did nothing. This one will do nothing. If Trump is there, be sure to block his chopper.
You know what accomplishes nothing? Keyboard pessimists like you.
To be fair, I think the keyboard optimists don’t accomplish much either. Actions always speak louder than (typed) words.
That’s a nice excuse you have for being wrong twice.
Whataboutism is also pointless.
Much easier to be lazy and let others do the work for you.
Yawn. What work are you doing? “Organizing?” lol
What other ideas do you suggest that people should go for then?
What are you doing? 🥱
The bait is real with this one.
Funny, I was thinking the same about you
Funny
General strike next
No one is going to strike. Striking means you stop until you get what you want, and the billionaires can hold out for much longer than most of us
They can hold but can they hide
Lmao. next time win the election What the protest gonna achieve anyway We r gonna have somme journos that s gonna interview ppl there and everyone will make fun of them. Good shit
Perhaps you should learn how to spell before you try to be clever with your bullshit.
Yeah cause the way of being right is trough ad hominem attack. Not my first language and no respect for it. Not sorry
What is your native language? Where are you posting from?
He’s an idiot but you really are suspect with that username.
Yeah, I’ve been told that on here before. I was born in 1988 and it’s been part of my online persona since I was a young teen. I didn’t know about the HH implication until I started hanging out in more leftist circles on reddit and eventually here
Fair enough. Thanks for explaining.
Does it change anything to my argument ? Mr 88 in the pseudo lmao

What an incredible argument If you read this and not the name of an animal a i suggest you should see a doctor
When you made your username, were you trying to spell “mammoth”?
deleted by creator
Big ma, moth.
Not necessarily, but it would be ironic if you were a non-native speaking English person living in the US. That would likely indicate that you or your parents are exactly the type of people that Trump and his friends are trying to vilify and make life more difficult for.
Yeah it would be if I was an immigrant incapable of speaking English
Do you truly believe that matters to this regime? That it would matter to ICE officers charged with capturing you?
It’s certainly a comfortable thought to consider yourself “the exception,” but it’s dangerously naive. Racists hardly care if you speak English. Complaining about immigrants not speaking English is an easy target to hit, especially since the people being complained about can’t argue back. That doesn’t mean they like foreigners who speak English. If they wanted to complain about you, they’d just pick some other thing that makes you “different.”
You’re still a foreigner, and there are enough fascists out there who don’t care what else you are.
Wow, what a fucking moron. Why are you defending people who would want you to die for not speaking English? Go back to your hole dumbass.
Want me to die ? Really ? Wasn’t aware trump voter wanted the whole non English world to die. Just tought they didn’t want illegal alien in their country which is understandable
Yes lol they definitely do.
Na I’m not Antifa affiliated seem safe for me
No one is affiliated with antifa. It’s not an organization. It’s an idea. Anti-Fascism.
You trust that the system of governance is immune to corruption and law breaking, that it’s infallible. It very much is, and “oh we lost this time but we’ll beat facism at the next vote” is exactly how they keep getting away with shit. Elections are treated as a blank slate, fresh start, when they are not, even if there is another election and we win we’ll have to fight to restore the rule of law and the systems to a state before all of this.
No. But tbh and transparent while trump should be criticized for a lot of stuff that s not what your side in focus on. Just to be sure and don’t pretend I know what you stand for can u light me up on why this protest take place
Removed by mod
Would be more useful to protest against policy rather than an elected personality. Interview of the protester going to be fun
Next time don’t try to bring a dick tater into the land of the free
