Do they matter though? Trump just golfed and doesn’t care about protesters
They’re not talking to Trump. He’s too senile with Affluenza to care. They’re talking to their representatives, to business leaders, and Trump’s handlers.
And yes, it matters. The rich fear deeper than anything else the thought of us coming for them and killing them or taking their power. They hold retreats about it, for crying out loud. Any protest, even the ones that don’t seem to do much, make them very uncomfortable.
It reminds them that they don’t have as much control over people as they think.
Just ignore him. Looks like we're getting some bad faith users now that the sub was plastered everywhere yesterday.
This place is literally for organizing and boosting these protests. That's the whole point, the reason any of us are here. Like showing up at a church service and asking what's the point of praying.
goes to aquarium
"hey everyone, fish suck, why would you waste your time here lol"
"I need you to calmly explain to me the merits of fish, after I blatantly disrespected the entire aquarium lovers community in their own community space."
Then when you call them out: "I thought you fish people were supposed to be loving and tolerant! Why won't anyone tell me why fish are so great?"
They really gotta get a new playbook.
They would also throw a tantrum when they got kicked out for trying to fish, yelling slurs at children about their freedoms being crushed by George Soros or something when there is a massive publicly accessible lake across the street that is well known in the local angler community.
I mean I wish they would just do this instead, at least that would be hilarious, what they are actually doing is pathetic and like you said the strategies never work anyways.
Those who ignore peaceful protests, ensure violent protests.
The message is clear, There are enough organized and angry people that taking state and national capitals is well within the possibility. The trump admin has two options here..yield, or break.
When I see a comment like this I just imagine you as a hillbilly saying the same shit as a republican if the tables were turned. It's just as cringe.
When I see a comment like this I downvote it
When I post on lemmy I expect it
"Even I know I've got bad takes on current events."
It's actually: "I know what to expect from the average lemmy user."
Yes, I believe that is what I paraphrased from your last comment.
It's not paraphrasing if you're changing the meaning of what is being said.
Correct.
I am a hillbilly republican, just one who thinks that LGBTQ+ people should be allowed to exist, that America should be a land of opportunity for everyone, and that the rich should pay taxes. Which in this world makes me a pretty far left Democrat.
The real cringe thing is seeing yourself as an ivory tower elite, above all the people fighting for their rights, casting judgment on the riffraff below you for quoting JFK.
OK, one more time for the peeps in the back row. The PEOPLE are the governing body. When the PEOPLE “band together” (ArxCyberwolf) they can and will make a difference. Get out to the protests! It’s ok to share on social media, but don’t get sucked down in the social media whirlpool.
The people seem to have voted for Trump 🤷
If nothing else: it shows to the world that not all Americans support this administration. Makes it easier to heal relations with your allies if you'll ever manage to get rid of him.
Lol look at your downvotes.
