Let’s call them what they are- parades.

25 years ago, maybe.

Now, seeing protest after protest while the Trump administration does whatever it wants EVEN HARDER is like watching the opposing team in Air Bud wring their hands about the rulebook while a fucking golden retriever dunks on them over and over.

Peaceful protests are feeding demoralization and making things worse, not better.

#1 and #3 accomplish nothing.

Why would he not?

Did something happen the first time that would deter him from doing it again?

Hold on to your butts.

Reps need to be taking part in the protests. Preferably Korean-style.

They’re not that secret- and everyone’s just allowing them to do it out in the open. It’s not all that clandestine, Americans just happen to be huge cowards.

“What do you expect us to do? We might GET IN TROUBLE and maybe even lose our shitty jobs that we hate!”

Meanwhile, in Korea, middle-aged politicians are in the streets jumping fences and trying to grab cops’ assault rifles

Meanwhile, in Korea

I mean, it doesn’t help that literally everyone is cooperating. Not a single person has refused to leave their post, locked themselves in, thrown a punch, fought back, gotten arrested. Every federal worker “fired” has rolled over and taken it.

It’s almost as if they never actually cared about the server but rather were just using it to score points. Not at all like, you know, absolutely everything else.

I’m kind of shocked that relationship hasn’t already imploded

As someone who has a tough time getting to sleep most nights, this actually sounds like hell.

There absolutely are not. There are anemic little marches scattered here and there.

Americans were protesting George Bush in 2004 more forcefully and in vastly larger numbers than they are protesting now.
