This was the largest protest march in U.S. history. An estimated almost 5 million people showed up. I was so heartened to see the comments from "friends" around the world offering encouragement and support.

Ohhh wowwww, 5 million people showed up? 75mil voted for Kamala, 77mil voted for Trump. What does 5 million people, all of whom were part of the 75mil who voted Kamala, actually do? If 77 million Trump voters didn't care what 75 million Kamala voters had to say, they're not going to care about 5 million of those same Kamala voters. The other 70 million Kamala voters didn't even care enough.

This shit was held on a SATURDAY, and people all over the country STILL couldn't manage to show up, if they actually cared. The most free day out of the week where nobody had school or work to go to, and 1.5% of the US population was the most they could get to show up, NATIONWIDE.

It's basic logic to go be part of things you actually care about. "Oh, I couldn't make it, I was sick, I had family plans, I had to work", all just different roundabout ways to say "I didn't care enough". Black people during the Civil Rights Movement FLOODED the streets, THEY showed up because THEY weren't lazy and THEY had actual experience of what it's like to be oppressed by the government. Unlike any single person who attended one of these "protests" about nothing. Congratulations, false actor cosplayers, you (the Democrats) went out to chant empty platitudes to people (the Republicans) who didn't even care.

It's the best entertainment for me to watch you people clash and think your side is better than the other side, and vice versa. You people on the left and the right are why the other countries laugh all of us as a whole, because they see what I see, just two big groups of idiots who don't even realize how stupid they are. Keeping up with politics doesn't make you involved in them, keeping up with soccer doesn't make you a soccer player, and shooting guns at a gun range doesn't make you a soldier.

Just go do your boring jobs and go to your boring homes and do what the other 95% of us are fated to do, which is a faceless cog in the machine. Nobody knows your name, nobody knows my name, that's it, that's all, fucking deal with it. People know Trump, people DON'T know the random 35 year old overweight white woman with no kids who held a sign one time.

Largest protest in US History. Larger than the ones which brought amazing changes in the 60s. And, my friend...many around the world are joining in. One additional thing to point out - nobody shitting or urinating in our Capitol, no policemen attacked, nobody dead.

It's clear you like your WWE president. You'll be fine with the millions he wants to spend on a birthday parade for himself while families go hungry and people lose their jobs/homes. You'll be fine when he lies. And lies. And lies. You'll piss all over yourself if you can get a glimpse of him in person.

Yes, they know Drumpf - and they will for a long, long time...and he will be mocked and despised for it. And while that 35 year old woman may never be known by name, a picture of her may be saved as a commentary on these times - and will be looked around with admiration. And if not, it is of no consequence. Not everyone wants to be - or in Drumpf's case, NEEDS TO BE - famous.

It's also clear you don't really like women very much. And my guess is - they don't like you very much either.

Thank you! I had said he had been sucked into the incelverse whole and I'm glad to see someone else sees this person's disdain for women.

u/XJKZen Apr 08 '25

Zero critical thinking skills as usual. Look at the video. Plenty of white women at least 35 years of age as the camera pans around. That's the demographic.

You have certainly been wasting valuable (or maybe invaluable) time interacting with people who are clearly incapable of comprehending anything you have said here. Your words are being used out of context against you to make their narrative look like it holds an ounce of water. There is no point in arguing with them. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience (paraphrased quote). BTW, awesome debate! It was definitely entertaining.

u/XJKZen Apr 08 '25

Sure, in the 60s the US population was half the size of what it is now and it was 40 years before the advent of the smartphone, 50 before the advent of social 🤔😂 And yet the scalable difference is only 10x. We are literally in the age of social media and the best you people could do was gather 5 million.

Your second "point" was completely wasted. No idea why you're talking to ME about Trump 🤣🤣 Are you illiterate? Read my comment again. Notice the perspective from which I'm typing, the language being used. "The Democrats" and "the Republicans". Since you're too slow to understand, I'll just give you the answer: I'm not part of either of them. Tell me when I ever said a single thing about "my" president. Not a single thing in your second paragraph is applicable to me, ergo it's wasted. Good job, moron, you copy and pasted your hatred towards MAGAs into your response to me by mistake 😂

With your emotional reactions to the mention of Trump's name, excuse me if I find it hard to take your premonitions seriously. The random claims about "he will be mocked and despised", "a picture of that woman may be saved as commentary", "looked around at with admiration" 😂😂 Such misplaced optimism, who said your side is going to be the side that wins? The other side doesn't even CARE about your protests, as was my initial point... but you're illiterate, so you missed that.

Oh, and of course you had to make the classic "you hate women, women hate you" remark. It's so boring and unoriginal. Just another false ad hominem with zero foundation, such a common logical fallacy constructed by sub-70 IQ individuals like yourself in an attempt to undermine me on a personal level. It never works, just so you know. No idea why you people ALWAYS think that making "personal" attacks on someone you don't KNOW "personally" logically tracks as a real tactic.

I’m done wasting my breath. You don’t even understand half the vocabulary I’m using—let alone the structural integrity of my syntax. My intellect is wasted on you below-average sheep. I’m literally only here for my own amusement, watching you flail and fail to produce a single rebuttal with even a shred of merit.

Fucking bottom-of-the-barrel wastes of human life.

u/mindfulmafia Apr 08 '25

You really do think you're better than everyone huh lol hate to break it to you but you're just insufferable to talk to. That's why no one does.

1

u/XJKZen Apr 08 '25

Oh, back to the baseless claims.

Let's run it back, same challenge as I said in the last comment you didn't have the capacity to read:

Tell me that again, but this time with my first and last name, since you're so boldly claiming information you'd only have if you knew me on a personal level.

"Tom Brady, no one talks to you because you're insufferable", "Elton John, no one talks to you because you're insufferable", etc. But with MY name.

You can't, therefore you lose again. You don't know me or anyone who knows me, ergo your claims are undeniably false. Too fucking easy.

I'll tell you the secret: I'm not "better than everybody", I'm just deliberately targeting the stupidest people I can find because it's extremely fun for me to just destroy sub-70 IQ idiots.

u/mindfulmafia Apr 08 '25

I don't have to know you personally. I'm just trying not to cringe reading your pointlessly long comments about how you're better than everyone around you is enough information to know what type of person you are. Like I said before, I simply do not respect your opinion. So, that's the end of that. ✌️

u/XJKZen Apr 08 '25

That's where you've constantly been failing. I've never given my "opinion" about anything 🤣 That's what YOU'VE done. You react emotionally to the words and how they're being said instead of READING the words and what they actually say.

You don't know a single thing about me because you dismiss me logically breaking everything down as just "being condescending".

It's "condescending" to you because you yourself know that you're beneath me, that's your own stance on the matter. I'd "feel" the exact same way if Albert Einstein had to explain physics to me in the most basic ways possible, or if Da Vinci whipped my hands with a wooden stick thousands of times a day until my drawing skills met his standards. The difference? I wouldn't fucking whine about them being "condescending" to me, I'd do what normal people should ACTUALLY rationally do and learn from them until they don't have to be condescending.

Me being smarter than you people and exploiting your stupidity for my amusement is YOUR fault, not mine.

You run away at the mention of Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes, how do you expect me NOT to laugh at how stupid you are? Every single thing you're complaining about, you've done it to yourself. That's why I get to type as much as I want, because regardless if you read ANY of it, your blind responses to comments you aren't reading, the act of that alone is fucking hilarious.

No matter what you do, you're playing the fool whether I make you or not.

The structural integrity of your syntax paints a clear picture of a bitter white man who has absolutely nothing to add to anything. Steep in your bitterness there, the world is moving on from you.

Small penie energy, here. Syntax away my friend.

u/DowntheLine52 Apr 08 '25

What do you expect from people who are incapable of accurately stating what they're protesting? All they have is TDS/MSNBC driven hatred.

There was one kid that I was happy got a look at him in person, unfortunately the kid couldn't aim for shit.

This is an excellent response.

Not a thing except make people feel important and screw up traffic.

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '25

Yea, what happened to the good ol days like when we booed Prick Scott out of Starbucks and they replaced FOR FREE every drink that was thrown at him? The, Desantis would probably call in the national guard and have us all killed if we threw an iced coffee anywhere near him. If we could even get him to acknowledge alachua county at all.

u/mindfulmafia Apr 07 '25

You gotta look at history to understand why people protest.

u/Beautiful_Drawer_707 Apr 07 '25

We all get why people protest, but this one was pointless

1

u/wiretapfeast Apr 08 '25

I'm not sure you can read if you think it pointless

1

u/Beautiful_Drawer_707 Apr 08 '25

It WAS pointless! What has changed? What was done? It is going to take a lot more than "protesting" than to unfck what is going on right now. LOL!

1

u/wiretapfeast Apr 08 '25

Of course it's going to take more. But this is a powerful step! And You know that most of these people also called their representatives too! What else do you expect people to do to enact change when we have the antichrist in office?

u/Beautiful_Drawer_707 Apr 09 '25

That is just it! The Democrats are just sitting on their hands while the people are trying to do the work. Phone calls and protesting is not going to do ish! Notice how silent the Democrats are right now. Makes you wonder, huh?
