"Caring" and effective activity are not necessarily the same thing.

I know protesting is not enough, but it’s still important and a lot of people showed up. We are the majority not MAGA.
You might be the majority in DC but not in the USA. I'm not s maga voter, but we need to be tougher with criminals.
We need to put rapists and traffickers of children in prison. Starting with the occupant of the White House.

You mean like the Capital police harmed by the J6-ers. How about the National Guard go round them back up and put them back where they belong off the streets.
MAGA loves criminals as long as they are Trump fans. Hypocrite.
I mean like the murder of this sweet, beautiful girl whose killer was out on bail despite his violent past. You should read about Aniah Blanchard.

Nope. Not at all. Voted for Harris. Still think we need to be tougher with criminals. Why don't you?

The protests are useful in letting people know that others are not OK with the US's descent into authoritarianism.

Literally they are protesting troops in DC who are sweeping anyone not white enough off the streets. Geez, open your eyes people.
I thought the NG was just standing around doing nothing? Which is it?
FBI, DHS, alphabet soup
You need to reprogram your bot then.

You need to open your eyes and perhaps get counseling to address your anxiety.

104 murders now as of September 2, per MPD:

The 101 figure is off by 1. There were 100 murders as of August 11, 2025, the day before the guard was deployed:

That’s 4 murders from August 12 - September 2 in a city that saw 100 homicides between January 1 and August 11, around a 14 murders/month average. It’s around a 300% decrease in the murder rate.
OMFG!!!! A 300% DECREASE IN MURDER?! We MUST PROTEST NOOOOWWWW!
What was wrong with the old murder rate?
Stupid trump, saving the lives of all those young Black males.
If any other Administration put troops in the street - for any reason, let alone "street crime" - right wing voters and media personalities would absolutely freak out about government takeover. It's astonishing how weak-willed and gullible those same people are when Trump so blatantly drags us towards authoritarianism. You are not standing up for the Constitution, Republicanism, limited government - on the contrary, you're dragging it down with Trump.
That's what these protests are. It's not about the murder rate. It's about standing up for the principles that you USED to believe in.
