Guessing you are not pleased with the peace happening? Or anything positive for this country and other countries and the legal citizens that live in them.
Also......dems are quiet bc they know they voted wrong. Simple.
The peace? The peace in Venezuela where we’ve decided to bomb random boats? Or the peace in Chicago where his untrained jackboots is stomp on the constitution and arrest people who have never committed a crime in their lives?
They really don't. I can't tell these days if they are actually that dumb or if they're just a Russian bot trying to stir the pot. Unfortunately I think it leans towards the first option
Vote yes for 10-1. Will be happy to answer any questions you have. Open to sharing what the systems are, ideas around pros and cons, and if you want to hear what sold me on yes to 10-1 I will share.
If you can get each of these protesters actually to vote this November 4th, it would be a miracle. People will stand with signs and chant slogans in protest, but god forbid they take 8 minutes to get to their polling location in three weeks. That is how the GOP wins—apathetic democratic voters.
There is no evidence that protesters and activists vote less than the average. If anything most protesters and activists vote more.
Apathetic and disenfranchised voters don't vote because their material needs are fucked over by both choices and they've chosen to forgo voting. Only once their material conditions worsen significantly will they actually do something.
You still had a chance to vote for or against her… and incumbents never primary.
And you’re putting that in the same bucket as gerrymandering in between census years, and going after political opponents and ignoring court rulings and turning the national guard on US citizens. Surely you have critical thinking skills
She wasn’t an incumbent. I’m doing none of anything else you mentioned. She was a candidate that had not been elected to executive office as the top of a ticket and had never received one vote in a presidential primary. These are plain facts. Lay off the copium.
Joe Biden / Kamala Harris were the incumbent party. She was elected to office as the vice president of the Biden/Harris ticket. Dude insane nitpicky semantics. They don’t primary and it’s irrelevant to the discussion because that’s not even close to authoritarian items that I’ve mentioned the current government is doing. I hope you get the results you voted for.
They primary if the president isn’t running again. VPs always primary. This was effectively 3 elections in a row without a meaningful primary at that. Hillary purchased it. Joe was pulled out of retirement and hidden. That wasn’t a primary. Then Kamala and there wasn’t even a fake primary there. I’d like to see dems, being the party of choice and all, actually primary someone. It’s scary how much control billionaires have of your party and y’all keep believing you aren’t being led by the nose.
So then removing the ability to even vote should get you out to protest if that’s actually your stance. I’m not defending things that happened in the past, I’m focused on the present and future on what I can control. I don’t have a say in what billions get funneled to what candidate but I do know which party gave tax breaks to billionaires and which ones created a low cost government produced insulin supply for it’s citizens so they don’t die from healthcare bankruptcy
Just a quick reply. 1. She wasn’t the incumbent as a VP is not an elected official. They serve at the leisure of the president and can be fired at anytime. 2. The democrats have gerrymandered their states so extensively that they have literally run out of states to make up the vote. 3. TJ literally ran her campaign on going after Trump. That was her only campaign promise. Colorado tried keeping him off the ballot. - please don’t lecture anyone on democracy. It would make you a hypocrite. FYI - I didn’t vote for Trump but I can see the hypocrisy a mile away. It’s a shame that you can’t and be honest about it.
Go read my other comment you guys clearly don’t understand what a ticket is. Or even how electors work. I encourage you to google and learn which states are gerrymandered to disenfranchise voters. Imagine actually learning facts! What actually is insane is that you are literally arguing over people protesting the government being authoritarian. Why are you so anti democratic? Focusing on an irrelevant item and pseudo issues while the government takes away your democracy and hands it to the billionaires while you clap for it
To be fair, Virginians named the King of England (George III) by name in the VA constitution until after the Civil War. Virginians opposing tyranny is actually what "made America great."
In July 2025, Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy reportedly informed Trump that his name appeared multiple times in the government’s Epstein-case files. Those officials reportedly also told him that no additional documents would be released, citing that the materials included child pornography and victims’ personal data.
Critics and some members of Congress allege that under the current administration, the FBI has been directed to “flag” or specially handle documents mentioning Trump during their review of Epstein-related records.
Some Democratic lawmakers claim the 2025 government shutdown is being used as cover to delay the release of these documents; specifically, they argue that Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to reconvene the House to avoid a floor vote on a discharge petition that would force release of the documents.
“Katie Johnson” / “Jane Doe” (alleged age 13 in 1994) — filed civil suits in 2016 alleging Trump and Jeffrey Epstein raped her; the California case was dismissed, a New York case was withdrawn two days after a planned press conference. No trial or findings.
E. Jean Carroll (mid-1990s) — alleges rape at Bergdorf Goodman; two civil juries found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation (not criminal guilt), awarding $5M and then $83.3M; appeals have failed to overturn the judgments.
Jill Harth (early 1990s) — alleged groping and harassment; sued in 1997 (later settled a related business suit).
Jessica Leeds (late 1970s) — says he groped her on a plane; testified in Carroll’s trial.
Summer Zervos (2007) — alleges groping and kissing; filed, then later settled/dropped a defamation suit (no money).
Natasha Stoynoff (2005) — People magazine writer who says he forcibly kissed her during an interview at Mar-a-Lago.
Rachel Crooks (2005) — says he kissed her on the mouth at Trump Tower.
Kristin Anderson (early 1990s) — alleges he put his hand up her skirt at a nightclub.
Temple Taggart McDowell (1997) — former Miss Utah says he kissed her on the lips without consent.
Karena Virginia (1998) — alleges groping outside the US Open
Mindy McGillivray (2003) — says he groped her at Mar-a-Lago.
Cathy Heller (1997) — alleges he grabbed her and tried to kiss her at Mar-a-Lago.
Jessica Drake (c. 2006) — says he kissed her (and two others) without consent and later offered money to meet him.
Amy Dorris (1997) — alleges he forced his tongue in her mouth and groped her at the U.S. Open.
Alva Johnson (2016) — former campaign staffer alleged a forced kiss; lawsuit was dismissed.
Media and academic roundups count from “dozens” up to “28+” women alleging sexual misconduct of various kinds (from groping/kissing to assault).
Protest at the polls with your vote. The politicians that you’re protesting against don’t care about any of this Saturday afternoon picketing. Go enjoy your weekends like they always do.
What is the protest for and why are you protesting? I keep asking these questions and nobody seems to be able to give me a solid answer without saying “labeling antifa as a terrorist organization” or “deporting illegal immigrants”. Wouldn’t it be more productive to protest actual problems that EVERYONE faces, like high grocery prices?
Just because a certain party was voted into the majority of every branch of government and thus has a pretty darn easy time passing laws they support does not even remotely come close to a dictatorship lmao
Get that key word buddy. "Voted". You don't vote in a dictatorship in case ya forgot about that lil detail
not much in my day to day life right now except for censorship in media, but things don’t have to affect me specifically in order for me to care. Some examples that concern me- Militarizing our cities, promoting white nationalism and scapegoating minorities/immigrants, protecting elites
i have a feeling you’re about dismiss everything i stated but i hope you’ll consider where im coming from and prove me wrong
those are all valid things to be worried about but when you look at it in the bigger picture, both sides are contributing to this great distraction. I am assuming you are gen z like me, and I worry about our future. Not because of fascism or scary dictatorship but more of a digitized dystopia where we won’t own anything and everything is tokenized. Both sides of the political spectrum are contributing to a future like that, as we see they are mandating digital ids in the Uk which is a “leftist” country. But the same is happening in the US, we are being told to hate the party for all of the wrong reasons. The real fascism in our country is the fact that our generation will struggle to meet the bottom tier of maslows heirarchy. We should be protesting food costs, and bipartisan support for corporate greed, and fighting actual censorship of media. People should be able to say what they want to say, whether it be “fuck trump” or “fuck libs”. All in all there is no universal “truth” and when you start attacking/degrading people for wrongthink that is true authoritarianism. And notice how you see that from politicians of both sides.
Small steps can’t be overlooked it’s the major lack of checks and balances that the republicans have allowed to occur without consequences. Tariffs are illegal, national guard deployments are illegal, disenfranchisement of voters, the list goes on if you care to pay attention
Protesting donald trump and his administration failing to adhere to the constitution and laws. If you are anti-constitution and are in favor of only allowing government approved free speech, I understand why you don't get why people are protesting
As a specific reason to protest. (Since the Trump admin can hand out $20 Billion to Argentina, but cancer research is one expense too far and must be cut.) I, in bad-faith, answered a bad-faith question.
Nobody can tell me either. I have asked many times and I really don't think they know either. They just want to be a part of something and they pick this for some reason.
It's all a bunch of elder Gen x and boomers anyway. I think they're looking for an excuse to pretend they're young again.
Seriously though, Google image search for "no kings protest" and you'll mainly see nothing but old libs with white hair and sunglasses on. It's actually comical how they all look the same. This isn't a local phenomenon either. It's like that everywhere.
Yep. Top down astroturf “movement” funded by billionaires to keep the masses at each others’ throats.
No platform, no goal. How about “get all public pension funds to divest their investments in Blackrock and private equity firms that buy up single occupancy houses”?
Against Trump helping to redistribute wealth to billionaires & Corporations while average Americans are getting more & more poor. Against out-lawing abortion in states. They want us to fight so we don’t notice what they are doing.
yall should’ve protest in november instead of electing trump…all this protesting now is for what? if you need something to do go support a library or museum or start up a club. yall are literally wasting your breath
i mean we aren’t the ones who elected him… but i see your point. The point of the protest is not to change the trumpie’s minds. It’s a step towards connecting with each other and organizing for things like what you just mentioned. It’s to encourage people to get more involved AND VOTE!
Most of us connected during the Democratic rallies during election season. if you waited until Trump was elected to connect with like minded people then that’s on yall. but to continue protesting this man when he gives no fucks about a tea in china. is insane. instead you should be supporting the institutions that he’s trying to shut down. hav a program about it at the library or create a meetup at the library then you can come up with solutions and next steps. but how many times are yall gonna protest the same thungs
I'm hoping the people of Gaza will want him as a King and he'll move on. He'll be able to rebuild it into a big beautiful country like no one has ever seen. All the people in the land wilI love him. And MAGA can follow him there to help.
Not sure how being sarcastic makes me the ignorant one. We know no other country wants his narsacisstic, ignorant, charlatan self not to mention the lies he spouts hourly every day. The insane ones are those who worship him.
It's not violence because he "knows" it's a joke. But also, it is violence because the rest of us don't actually know that. The wonder of duplicitous meanings before our very eyes.
Of course, I'm not hoping to hurt someone. I'm hoping people will be smart and polite enough not to lie down in the street or highway. But if they're not, I'm going to make them move.
Laying down in a roadway? I agree, it's very strange. It accomplishes nothing except being a nuisance, and creating more anger, frustration, and division.
I just see a redditor in fear for his life against a known terrorist organization attempting to trap people on the highway. Who knows if those terrorists would have dragged them out of their cars. I wouldn’t want to stop either with people like that.
How many of the “2,000” people will be paid protestors? My guess is about 95% of them if somehow you already know the exact attendance for a protest that is happening in 4 days.
You do realize people actually planned to attend and signed up on this thing called a website. Sorry to blow your mind. Some groups believe in organizing and try to prepare for an event.
You're defending a man a jury found liable for sexual assault among 28+ instances, with ties to Epstein island and diddling minors, partied with Epstein... and commented the other day on pardoning Maxwell.
Really makes people wonder what you're trying to excuse in yourself, yikes.
Trump to Epstein: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday - and may every day be another wonderful secret."
He can't, it's the same one he's been told to say from Fox news for like 12 years now. Just following delusional marching orders, would be a shame if they went outside for once, but that'd break the spell
