Here are the initial results from our crowdsourced crowd-counting estimates
On it’s own, it doesn’t matter at all. You can’t protest against those who don’t recognise your humanity. The exact lesson from apartheid here in south Africa. There is no peaceful way to oppose ideologies based on violence.
It mattered enough for the administration to act out, post AI, and create competition stories to have anything else to talk about
This fascist administration and fake fox news both disagree with you
Fascists are all about controlling the narrative. Any time we can seize that from them, they will be impacted. Trump has been trying desperately for months to encite violence and riots so he can justify massive military intervention. So far, his use of the national guard on peaceful cities is being met with contempt and resistance by the majority of Americans. Even his base is getting frustrated.
It sucks, but this is what winning looks like when we have a president, house, senate, and Supreme Court all captured by a hostile party looking to dismantle and divide the country.
Still think this holds up? They dismissed it effortlessly. You are impotent and they know it.
living in your head rent free a month later, oh man
There were protests in South Africa against apartheid
If they know you are just peaceful you will be ignored. As has already happened in the USA. You don’t understand what I said because you were taught a nonsense history of SA.
You said you can’t protest and that’s just wrong
Exactly. And for all of this “the exact lesson from apartheid” we’re all supposed to have taken to heart about the uselessness of non-violent protest, remind me again because it’s been some thirty years since I last heard about it . . . where is apartheid now?
I love when these fifth columnists show up to shit on any individual effort toward change, no matter how tiny, and to shower any “I can” idea with contempt, because it tells me who they are, and confirms that my own infinitesimal contribution, in combination with millions of other like contributions, is anything but useless.
So, roughly a little less than 2% of the country protested. Awesome.
It’s pretty clear after attempt number 3 that the vast majority of Americans either support trump, or just really don’t give a shit about any of this
Majority of Americans can’t afford to take a day off.
It was on a saturday! There was fewer events in fewer cities than the first run, and still managed about the same turn out.
Approximately 53 million Americans work weekends. And around 8.48 million have more than one job.
I turned out, but I had friends that couldn’t.
This made me imagine working 2 jobs on a Saturday and now I am depressed.
And how much do they think they’ll be able to afford once the cheeto is done with his changes?
