“…illegal protest…”?
Oh right, the US Constitution doesn’t exist any more.
Hey Muricans, this is what you wanted and voted for (or could't be bother voting to prevent)... enjoy
or, hit the streets and remove the fascist gov you elected
I feel like the overlap of fediverse users and trump voters is close to 0
Yeah but there are a bunch of "I'm going to not vote to 'send a message'! who cares if that makes the nazis win?" types
I wonder how many of those were Russian bots
The DNC are Nazis that just focus on different issues
Blue states need to start up their own shadow government, fund their own shit.
Californian here.
We should stop paying federal taxes.
We have a ton of money, a ton of military installations, and 1 in 8 Americans IS a Californian. Washington and Oregon join us, and we'd be in even better shape. Canada can get in on the action too.
A felon rapist traitor and his traitor party is making our Constitution irrelevant. Time to start looking out for ourselves.
WA state here - it's ridiculous that I have to subsidize chuds in Mississippi and Louisiana when they won't even give their citizens human rights. they're all about fiscal responsibility until it comes to paying their own fucking bills.
Federal taxes don't actually work that way. The federal government prints its own money. All taxes effectively go into a giant shredder and are unrelated to spending.
I don’t even know where to begin correcting such an insane statement. Why do you think k taxes are collected if it just gets shredded? Sadistic pleasure?
If we are going to do a tax protest we will need some kind of guarantees from the state government. Otherwise going to war with the IRS will not work. The IRS always wins.
You guys need to go hang with Hawaii. Alaska can come too.
THE END
isn't that kind of the idea of states? Them having their own budgets?
That costs money in state taxes, and the GOP is working on reducing the state and local tax deductions in the federal tax code. Making states who are trying to create good living conditions for their citizens prohibitively expensive to live in. It's horse shit.
Well that's easy. The protests aren't illegal. Therefore this amounts to nothing.
Fuck this dude.
Last time I checked, people had a right to peaceful assembly and to protest.
"Guess I will just get sick and fucking die."

I am not American, I was in the border of anarchism before all this but now I am full anarchist.
Thanks Orange man.

Finally, free speech! (/s, obv)
Man, I wish this country still had the balls to deal with traitors the way they're supposed to be dealt with.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
1st ammendment to the constitution since conservatives love to claim they support it
Ah! But it says "congress shall make no law," not that "the president shall tweet no bullshit!"
tbh, the founding fathers did fuck this up quite bad, by not including this
The constitution also didn't say "the president shall give a shit about the law"
Rookie mistake, IMO
Oh, we don't use that outdated piece of paper any more, haven't you heard?
Bold of you to assume that the US is a country still under the rule.of law.
This happened before: https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Sophie_Scholl
a German student and anti-Nazi political activist, active within the White Rose non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany. She was convicted of high treason after having been found distributing anti-war leaflets at the University of Munich(LMU) with her brother, Hans.
Also, happening right now in russia with any anti-war protests
RIP hero
Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did.
"Such a splendid sunny day, and I have to go. But how many have to die on the battlefield in these days, how many young, promising lives... What does my death matter if by our acts thousands are warned and alerted. Among the student body there will certainly be a revolt."
She's bae.
