I 110% guarantee you the White House is not panicking. He and his little Nazi party of buffoons have zero fears of anyone or anything getting in their way.
They think they’re above the law. And one that is above the law has no fear because he has limitless power to do with as he pleases.
Trump posting a video dropping bombs from his asshole on the protests shows that he does, in fact, care a lot about the protest so he is doing as ridiculous of a thing as he can to counteract it…
Wait…what? I don’t even want to do a quick search to see if that’s true. I suppose if true, it can’t really be surprising.
Sadly, yes this is true. It’s official feces content from the POTUS.
Personally I found the crown on his head and the fighter jet labeled “King Trump” more objectionable. I’m pretty used to dealing with his shit by now.
Keep fighting the good fight America.
The day was not only nonviolent but also historic. The estimated nearly 7 million who showed up across America marked the second-largest one-day protest in U.S. history, surpassed only by a very different type of event, the first Earth Day in 1970. That was roughly 40% largest than the first “No Kings” event in June, and in talking to protesters Saturday it seemed the turnout was only boosted by the right-wing rhetoric, that anti-Trump protesters must be some kind of domestic terrorists.
…
The official White House reaction, as related to one reporter, was “Who cares?” But guess what? They clearly cared, a lot. You could see that in the week leading up to the demonstration, with the increasingly insane rhetoric and warnings about “antifa” — a tiny, unorganized sliver of young rock-throwing radicals who were nowhere in sight Saturday — that aimed to neutralize the reality that millions of everyday Americans are sick of seeing a masked secret police snatch people off the streets.
In a maneuver that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un must have surely applauded, Trump’s Pentagon fired some artillery shells over a closed I-5 in the heart of Southern California’s anti-Trump rally as the protests were taking place — ostensibly to mark the 250th anniversary of the armed forces, but alsoas a reminder of the regime’s military might as Trump weighs invoking the Insurrection Act.
All good, but saying that antifa is a group of rock-throwing radicals is dumb at best and plays into the fascist’s narrative.
yeah I hate this bullshit throwing around antifa like its a particular group. they tried to do the same thing with black lives matter. even funnier that anti-anti-facists want to talk about the people protesting them as being anti-american.
Yeah, what the hell was that? Don’t let the magat fuckheads redefine words anymore than they already have. There is not, nor should there ever be, a stain on being anti-fascist.
Good for you, America!
According to the NYT, it was thousands that turned out ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Where they just counting like some suburb of some city?
They stopped estimating crowd sizes because it made Trump look bad
Seven thousand thousand.
I wish these protests carried any amount of influence with this administration, but it doesn’t.
It’s all just a bunch of ideological masturbation up until the guillotines and gallows start earning some miles.
Can we just stop policing people’s acts of resistance? At this point I’m more upset at the people doing absolutely nothing other than maybe post stuff online.
I find it useful. My block list has grown massively. Its a good litmus test for myself on peoples whos opinions are not for me.
Do what you need to protect your energy, it is in short supply.
The important part is that the protests are carrying weight with other people who care. The protests have been getting bigger and bigger, and when someone who cares about the cause but doesn’t show up sees this it gives them more imperative to show up too next time. The larger the protests get, the more likely that it will lead to a general strike, which is what will make a very big difference. Once the billionaires and centimillionaires genuinely feel like their profits are being threatened, they’ll pull the administration’s strings.
Please, start the rolling out of the first guillotine and gallows. Fire the opening salvo. If you are going to shit on people doing something you consider to not be enough, step up and lead a stronger resistance rather than standing by and bitching that someone should do something.
Those people did more than you this weekend. I’m sorry that trying to inspire change amounts to masturbation for you.
When you instigate violent change with a purely positive outcome and no ground-swell behind you, we’ll make you a statue. Until then, these protests will continue.
I won’t assume anything on your part, but this weekend was my third No King’s this year.
I stand by my statement.
Do not split
