There's someone like you in every thread. You aren't helping anything.
As opposed to what? Hoping shit just works out for the best if you just click your heels together and wish hard enough?
Grow up. This is the real world. You're literally watching your country's constitution be shit on and you can't even be bothered to care as long as the corporate oligarchs keep you sedated with your shiny toys and your marvel movies.
I guarantee you that anyone who themselves came from a dictatorship or had parents who came from a dictatorship (like my parents) is shaking their fucking heads at how idiotic your pacifist "trust the polls" attitude is, as though Trump hasn't already got his people running every single part of the election apparatus.
Still not helpful. They at least post links to protests. You just have a ranting Rush Limbaugh vibe going on.
Ah, what a nice time to remember he died.
You have no idea who I am or what I do. So don't just assume whatever garbage you consume defines everyone in America.
The whole concept of America is based on immigration and diversity. That's what makes it what it is. Many of us have generations of rebellion in our veins from Vietnam and everything that led to the civil rights act. The labor unions paving the way for workers rights, and even the No Kings Protests of today, the largest peaceful protest time and again in our history. That's democracy in action. That's how we change things. By deciding as a people, united, by standing up to the powers that be and telling them how it is going to be.
Every big step forward in our history came from social turmoil and political changes. That's just part of how things evolve.
"I went outside and picked up rocks to protest Trump!"
"At least I'm doing something, what are YOU doing?"
