I dont care if this is unpopular bc it's a commentary on how we fucking got here... Notice the amount of Gaza-support in the photos of US protests vs internationally. The useful idiots aren't even marching for their own country's oxygen mask in the protests about this country.
No but I don't really care what non-americans think of my president
Non Americans think the same thing Americans do. That Traitorapist Trump is a narcisstic buffoon not worth your attention. That he is a notorious Liar who is going to lie 30000+ times in the next 4 years like his average last time. And that he is going to throw food on the wall at the White House an average of 1-2 times per week like his average last time.
I agree with what you said, but I don't care what non Americans think
Average MAGAT: ohhh nooo, Biden makes us look so weak to the rest of the world
This was not hidden here in the pnw. There was a protest that walked by my house. Joined in for a bit
Pacific NorthWest?
Yah, sorry. everyoneontheinternerisamerican :tm:
Here in the states we have a region called the PNW it's basically Washington (state not DC) and Oregon
I heard NPR gloss over it, just mentioning that the number a protesters seem to have been less than the last time.
It didn't really give any estimate as to the number of people where they were at what their issues were. They didn't interview any of them, they gave it like maybe 5 to 10 seconds.
No but also I don't really care? What did their protests accomplish before?
Wtf. Its amazing how many people on Lemmy didn't see this. If you missed it, you need to pay attention to the news.
I've not seen much about it in American "liberal media", but, to be fair, I've not consumed a lot of media in the past month or so.
How did you not see this?
I've been through enough elections to know that they do this for every president. So it's not really news.
Did not know. Good to hear. This nitwit is bound to fail or find enough support to take the USA as a dictator.
An interesting unrelated note is that the average lifespan for a US male was about 77 years in 2022. Also good to hear.
The BBC mentioned it on inauguration day (UK) showed the protestors burning a flag and did a small interview with someone.
Nope. The Great American Firewall on our wholly right wing owned major media ensured I didn’t hear a peep about this.
Thanks, world. Good to know you’re still out there.
So you're telling me you dont read any actual news, despite there being numerous great news orgs in the US...you intentionally only subscribe to the shitty corporate ones? Huh.
Way to make my world up for me, dude.
I saw this OK Tiktok. I think Ben and Jerry's had some involvement in organization.
I saw articles about it on both Reddit and Lemmy. But they were filled with toxic comments from doomers, fascists, or just other overly negative people so I suspect they were downvoted and this might be why people didn’t see them.
