      I highly doubt the fascist tRUMP and his like-minded cronies give a shit about people waving signs once every few months or so.
      Or any form of peaceful protests.
      They are probably laughing their voluminous man tits off about it.

      You’ll need to either get violent.
      Or shutdown certain systems, such as roads, on a countrywide scale for extended periods of time before they even think about giving a shit.

        I will respectfully reject your suggestion to turn to violence and encourage others in this thread to also not be incited to do so.

          Ha, there is no incitement because most americans are too complacent and mollycoddled to do anything. Maybe they’ll go for a walk once every few months and wave a sign, but that’s it.
          The orange buffoon knows this, which is why he gets away with all his shit.

          Anyways, what about the other option I mentioned?

      You’re right, this is a half-measure. But I’ll be banned for speaking my mind, so we’ll stick with this.

        Some of us can’t do anything because we’ve got people depending on us to provide. Believe me, if there was ever a time where I could be more active, it would be right fucking now. But unfortunately, that kind of protest is the most I can do at the moment.

        Put your money where your mouth is, go out and find those who are able to do more, and stop vilifying those who can’t afford to.

          Right. Nobody in history who ever fought a righteous cause had a family or anything to lose. They were all just Disney characters whose victory was guaranteed because they were the good guys.
