Actually I was reading an article last night that showed a lot of large protests going on that the media is not covering.....I wonder why This is from Hitler play book.....create the narrative and keep media in line. People need to wake up and yes we need to get bigger and louder.

So those street protests tend to work in favor of Republicans - see the Gaza and BLM protests. It's not effective.

The position ‘protests aren’t effective’ is….. ridiculous.

You may not have liked blm - but was it effective? Hell yeah. Try to find me one person who doesn’t know what blm stands for. Try to find me one cop who doesn’t know about the blm protests.

The idea that we are powerless feels so incorrect as to be troll worthy. We aren’t. Remember the Arab spring? Remember the anti apartheid protests? Remember Selma? No one was like ‘oh but we might be associated with the black panther party’ gtfo

Anonymous wrote:I don't agree with a lot of what Trump says and does. Trump won an election fair and square, so what should I be protesting? He's allowed to completely overhaul trade, security, taxation, and the way the govt is run. That's what the people voted for. I do agree with him on some big issues like it was a catastrophic mistake listening to the elite tell us we needed to offshore everything in terms of manufacturing. Complete decimation of our manufacturing base was so epically stupid. I agree that many of our allies have taken advantage of our generosity for far too long and wow, look at that, all of the sudden Europe finds $800B to spend on their own defense. Amazing. I do agree we need to get very rough on people for flooding our country with fentanyl. DEI at work got completely out of hand.Trump is absolutely right on immigration.

Again, I may disagree with what a lot of what Trump does wrt constitutional law, crypto, and firing of feds. But he won the election.

BLM protests were anything but peaceful. What you are seeing now is a pushback. Remember the couple in NYC who threw a Molotov cocktail into a police car? They were professional people and all they got was a slap on the wrist.

As for Selma. I remember that. The protesters were not violent. Big difference.

I agree protests aren’t effective or won’t be right now. look, Trump already tried to call out the national guard on protests in his last Presidency. He is more than willing to harm citizens. I think mass protests like that will only hope their agenda and have bring on martial law. We believe in the constitution and that the judicial branch will be listened to. I see more protests on street corners and at Tesla dealerships than ever.

This is an insane take
They can’t arrest legal American citizens protesting. They can’t legally, they can’t logistically.
The idea that we shouldn’t take to the streets and demand an end to this insanity bc of random spurious reasons is beyond ridiculous. Grow a pair

Take a look at the steps to the butterfly revolution. After attacking the Judiciary, the next stage is martial law.
We can’t end this because it would take Republicans in congress to vote against Trump, not because of protests.

The poster you quoted is correct. They do lots of things they ‘can’t do’ because they’re fascist. Look at Project 2025- they want an excuse to declare martial law. Some believe the Insurrectionist Act will be invoked at the southern border next month.
