Donald Trump is absolutely not worried about people dressed in chicken suits handing out tacos. This is "Let's Go Brandon"-level feckless facebook-boomer euphemism, it's embarrassing, and I'm fucking sick of it.
You know what Donald Trump is actually worried about? Protests, strikes, civil unrest, molotov cocktails, actual substantive action. Stop pretending this taco chicken bullshit is that.
I have to disagree. He doesn't give a shit about protests. But he has such thin skin, that making fun of him hurts him the most.
Nothing wounds him more than disrespecting him.
What about do a bit of both?
It takes time for most people to build up to that level. Also, any civil unrest generally needs a smoke screen of legitimate, law abiding protestors.
Just getting people into the habit of going out to actually protest would be a big step. The more people do it, the more socially acceptable it becomes. The more socially acceptable it is, the more people will turn up. Eventually, it starts hitting critical mass, which scares those in power. Until then, a few broken windows, or burnt cars, are good propaganda optics to drive your support back into their living rooms.
That makes sense, thanks for the new perspective.
But you have to admit, it would be hilarious if that actually happened.
Depends on whom you ask. Personally I stopped being able to laugh at US politics within the first 6 months of his first term. All I could feel was anger, nowadays when the dissociation stops it has evolved to pure rage. And I don't even live there, there's an entire ocean between our two countries, can't imagine what it would be like living in it.
The idea of adults putting on a chicken costume to try to "own the Maga" or get Trump riled up instead of doing anything useful seems really pathetic and sad. It's not like democracy is burning on every floor or anything right now. "You know what we really need ? People in chicken costumes in the streets!" Yeah, no. Just no.
Whenever we see video of these military parades in Russia, NK, etc, they are always really clean and controlled. HitlerPig wants a parade where the world watches with respect and reverence at his mighty power. What he's worried about is people seeing his massive parade, and not quaking in fear in response.
We should be doing anything and everything that discredits his big parade, and demonstrates to the world that we do not fear his foolish blustering. Massive protests along the parade route are called for. Making fun of him with chicken suits and rubber chickens would humiliate and infuriate him, but so would interrupting the parade, forcing it to stop. Make sure there isn't one foot of that parade, or one second of video footage that doesn't include protesters
Ruin his big beautiful birthday parade in every way possible, including chicken suits, inflatable HitlerPig babies, signs, live streams, sit-ins, blockages, etc.
Exactly, showing up in chicken costumes is fun for the parade goers. Showing up to protest makes it less fun.
Right, I thought this was posted to lemmyshitposts its so fucking embarrassing
