it's everywhere
And they are doing what that is useful? The amount of people in any of these pictures could easily enter the White House and unseat Trump, yet here ~~we~~ they are, performativelizing.
I really don't like the amount of violence being suggested here. Trump needs to be removed but a lot of you are suggesting to support violent fantasies.
By the way that's a very strong tactic be terrifically Republicans to make the left look unhinged. And they're correct. It will turn a lot of people against you. Most are not violent people.
The point of making the 'left', or any opponent, look unhinged is to pressure them into submission. The reason why this works very well is because your media is complicit in amplifying any wrongdoings by any opponents and twisting the perception.
i mean, check out protests in Europe and how they're framed by their media. Even your Vietnam war protests back in the day; your media started banging on about them being drug users and layabouts to make dismissing their cause much easier.
I just think Americans have lost a lot of people power if you have to protest while walking on eggshells. Best thing to combat it is to have a conversation with everyone. Get people chatting face to face rather than having the TV spout nonsense at them.
Same here. The peaceful inclusive protest in Sackets Harbor, NY over the weekend worked. The immigrant children and their mother are being returned from Texas as I type this. Don’t give Trumpy any room to paint the left as unhinged.
I don't think we'll see the upheaval of a fascist regime by picketers carrying signs any time soon.
Their demands seem to be as feeble they might as well not exist. So the mass protests might not exist as well. Hands off bla bla lol, might as well send a sternly written letter haha. "Oh please sir, could you possibly be less rough with me?!"
I heard that the USA has been involved in illegal regime change in other countries 62 times. Sixty two times! Overthrowing quite a few democracies too. But for the US this seems unthinkable still, even for mother jones. A simple demand like the Trump administration to step down and call for new elections seems to be nowhere to be found.
PATHETIC ATTEMPT AT REVOLUTION!
LMFAO 5 million white old ass, non ethnically/racially diverse boomers protesting against their 401ks losing value doing a cosplay competition 🤣
That's the opposition? Rich white old men?
That's a tiny part of it but mostly it's the disrespect for the world, a move towards economic isolationism and the dismantling of a once great superpower. All of these things break a society.
You seem happy about the boomer generation suffering and find it funny do you? That is the wacky internet for you. Maybe you are just being engineered by the algorithms and you have no choice? who knows anymore?
One for all and all for one, regardless of what generational group you fall under.
The function of accounts like the one you are replying to is to encourage cynicism and inaction among otherwise anti-fascist people.
Failing that, they will try to exhaust you with “debate”.
