Still No Kings: Millions to Protest Trump On Saturday

Shit's never going to change because we keep scheduling protests instead of protesting every day in every way possible. At home, at work; protest everywhere.

This is necessary to get people started out.
Gets them familiar with how protesting needs to be done.
So when shit inevitably gets worse, they and their friends who stayed home last time will be out again and likely for longer too.
You want to move millions of people to fight for freedom? Gotta get them used to the motions first.
- Yep! I for one will be carrying a sign promoting www.generalstrikeus.com as the next big step we can take as a people against the ruling class.

How about "No Dictators"?

A king is a dictator, they have unlimited power. Plus there's the context of the US breaking off from the UK because they didn't want a king anymore. You could use "dictator" instead as the modern term but then you lose out on the historical connection pointing out the irony.
- A king is a pretty term that legitimizes the person in charge, which is what Trump wants. You call them what they are: fascist dictators.
It's a terrible name, but I think "no rulers" would be better.
The problem with these people is that they're okay with being ruled by the Clintons but not the Trumps.
They're too stupid to realize that both families only care about enriching themselves and their loyalists.

This coinciding with the government shutdown could increase turnout and really fuck with city operations.

I recall the first trump term'e shutdown ending when protests shut down leguarda airport.

Republicans have begun to frame the protests as “hate America rallies,”

I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but exercising your right to protest is one of most patriotic things you can possibly do.

Share that message with anyone you know who needs to hear it.

I hate MAGA's America, and will fight to kill it.
Yeah, I mean they literally founded their country via a protest which resulted in tea getting chucked into Boston harbor.
- I can't believe 1700s antifa destroyed private property
- And they were also in costume!
Some people are reclaiming the flag at protests
- It’s needed, to show in photos where the protests are happening. Don’t let them handwave the photos away as some third-world country.

We sit around and bitch about the corporations caving to the alt-Reich, about Congress people just giving in to Trump, about ICE not having a conscience to do the things they do.

Yet as long as we only sit and bitch, as long as we're not fighting back in some way, we are also complicit in what our country's government does.

If you honk your horn to warn people ICE is around, you are protecting them. If you protest the regime, others will see that there's are others standing up and this is not inevitable. If you call your Congress people, you are telling them what the will of the people is, and that people are watching their actions. You don't have to do everything, but you should be doing something.

How can you expect corporations to care or Congress people to have a spine, if you won't even pick up a phone? Courage, and consciences, are contagious.

If you call your Congress people
No. This does nothing. Your representatives only care about the interests of their donors.
You want them to listen? You'd better open your wallet.
- There was an interview about a year and a half ago, with some Congress person who was asked why they made so many right-leaning votes. They said that, out of every 5 phone calls they received on an issue, 4 of them supported the right and only 1 can would support the left (because the right wing is really good at stirring up their base). While money does talk, so do the people - at least for now.

Lmao. next time win the election What the protest gonna achieve anyway We r gonna have somme journos that s gonna interview ppl there and everyone will make fun of them. Good shit

Perhaps you should learn how to spell before you try to be clever with your bullshit.
- Yeah cause the way of being right is trough ad hominem attack. Not my first language and no respect for it. Not sorry
Can you at least educate yourself on the psychology and sociology behind protests? Do you realize social change happens not only with the exchange of ideas but with people seeing movements happening? Or what, would you rather they all comment angrily online into the void, ultimately get censored, and get the boot down their throat having tried nothing?
And before you even try it, violence does not work. That only gives the government an excuse to use force, and they're salivating just thinking bout it.
- It seem violence was ultimately stronger than the exchange of idea if we consider what happen to kirk. But I hear you and I would agree if only it was a mouvement that had a majority supporter. To me it s more adjacent to a social event than a political contestation. Also the communication is all over the place, no king ? Like yeah nothing said king that winning an election by a landslide. On the article they said the event will also happen in Canada and europe ? Like who give a fuck ? And that it s an horror he cut humanitarian aid ? Just take a second job and go work to finance that rather than protest and expect a whole ass country to finance mesure that doesn't benefit his citizen
You trust that the system of governance is immune to corruption and law breaking, that it's infallible. It very much is, and "oh we lost this time but we'll beat facism at the next vote" is exactly how they keep getting away with shit. Elections are treated as a blank slate, fresh start, when they are not, even if there is another election and we win we'll have to fight to restore the rule of law and the systems to a state before all of this.
- No. But tbh and transparent while trump should be criticized for a lot of stuff that s not what your side in focus on. Just to be sure and don't pretend I know what you stand for can u light me up on why this protest take place
I agree these protests aren't going to accomplish anything and just serve to make people feel like they're doing something.
If we want our culture to change, we need to be the ones to change it.
All of these idiots are proud to give as much power as possible to as few people as possible.
- Would be more useful to protest against policy rather than an elected personality. Interview of the protester going to be fun
Next time don't try to bring a dick tater into the land of the free

STILL no kings? Is there at least an ETA?

If only the conditions making these protests necessary could have been prevented....

Oh wait, you helped them happen. Enjoy the fake internet points. Can't wait to see your next agenda.

Edit: Apparently it's been forgotten that Ozma plastered several communities with articles trashing both Biden and Harris running up to the election.

Edit edit to also remind that while trashing Dem candidates, we got crickets from them about Donnie and friends. It was an obvious agenda that several people recognized at the time. They did it before and they will do it again. Wait for election year.

I think you're getting down voted because people don't know from your original comment that you were referring to OP.
But yeah. Fuck these fake leftists who rallied hard against the idea of voting for Harris over Trump, then turn around crying and shivering that their virtue signal boycott surrendered the country to fascism.
It's irrelevant to what OP posted, but you are correct. I remember specifically calling them out over the endless slanted posting against Dems during the election. Never a word against Trump
- He literally has dozens of posts that are anti-Trump right now, and he's never once said Trump has done anything good.
I didn't forget
- Good. Thank you.
Oh wait, you helped them happen.
I don't think Ozma had much role in the decades-long neoliberal exploitation of the working class, the entrenchment of inoffensive focus group politics in the DNC, the persistent rightward shift of the Democratic political establishment or Biden and co. gloating about how much they were helping Israel's genocide.
Apparently it's been forgotten that Ozma plastered several communities with articles trashing both Biden and Harris running up to the election.
Imagine posting facts that don't paint ineffectual proto-fascists as the next best thing since sliced bread. Truly a crime against humanity.
- Lol. It was a complete stream of articles aimed at discouraging voting based on a single issue while never posting anything showing that the other side was going to be worse on the same issue, let alone disastrous for so many other reasons.
  Don't give me the bullshit about posting facts. I never said a thing about lies. It was selective posting to promote an agenda of not voting.
  If that agenda influenced even on person not to vote, they were part of the problem. Voting is about choosing the best fit candidate, not the perfect candidate. Working to change the horrible status quo should be done outside of an election in which not voting is helping to usher fascism into the highest offices in this country.
  Seeing as you're calling Biden and Harris neo fascist this entire text is lost on you. Guessing you didn't vote or aren't a US citizen, and obviously don't understand what this country lost by electing dipshit don into the presidency. Both sides are not the same no matter how delusionally you believe they are.
- It's useless talking to Americans. They're all the same. American Liberals are just a more cunning version of Conservatives.
Yes ozma alone is somehow responsible, on a niche online forum, instead of the people poorly planning a campaign.
- If even one person was influenced by the one-sided crap they posted, then they are absolutely responsible for contributing to the result.
  I at no time said they alone made anything happen. They were doing their best to contribute to it. Stop taking my comments out of context.

Yay, censorship!
I love having you morons dictate what I get to see.
- (I just said "yawn").

The last one did nothing. This one will do nothing. If Trump is there, be sure to block his chopper.

You know what accomplishes nothing? Keyboard pessimists like you.
- To be fair, I think the keyboard optimists don't accomplish much either. Actions always speak louder than (typed) words.
General strike next
- No one is going to strike. Striking means you stop until you get what you want, and the billionaires can hold out for much longer than most of us
Much easier to be lazy and let others do the work for you.
- Yawn. What work are you doing? “Organizing?” lol
