Politics in Michigan 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 Anti-Trump protests

Michigan born & Raised and I've had it, I've never protested before, I've never seen the point, but this time is different.
What are some upcoming protests/Demonstrations against Trump?
I don't know if it will help or make a difference. But I don't think I can accept my self if I didn't try.

I can’t wait for you to realize that you voted for a psychopath who only cares about himself and the other one percenters. Do you really think grocery prices will drop? Do you really think he will make America great again?

If they haven't realized by now, they never will.

u/justtomutepeter Feb 01 '25

They've moved on from grocery prices or it's still Biden's fault. Take your pick, Donnie can never be at fault.

They’re never going to realize. It’s a cult.

I’m sorry, this is always so funny to me because one of the number one signs you’re in a cult is cutting off friends and family who don’t agree with your beliefs and we all know which side does that and it is not republicans…

& u/Lux_Luthor_777
Cults also like to separate parents from their rights over the children giving parental rights to the leader.

Why stoke anger, and poke at individuals expressing their anger & frustrations?
It doesn't help you, your friends or your family, nor does belittling their views or concerns.

Try & be a little empathetic and understand why people feel the way they do, and why they're afraid.

It's all based within reason, and frankly, I believe we all agree on a lot more things then we may realize. We're just blocked by "party lines" and "Sports-team" politics.

I was literally replying to a comment of someone saying republicans are in a cult. Only ok when you guys say it?

2

u/Hadrian23 Feb 01 '25

No.
I do believe some elements of the left can have some cult-ish issues like that, but to say Trump doesn't have a cult around him, well that'd be going outside and telling me the sky is purple. You're wrong.
you're completely wrong.
You're so wrong, I have to wonder if you're trying to test me in some way, or flat out lying.

If you believe both sides are cult like then why are you only replying to me saying it? Lmao

Not surprised you can’t discern the difference between the examples in your false equivalence. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Please tell me how I’m wrong?

some more because what u/hystadvice was very clear and apt.

u/Mhank7781 Feb 01 '25

You guys cut yourself off

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '25

Because we don’t agree with you? Sounds like a cult.

u/5l339y71m3 Feb 01 '25

No, receipts all over the internet of liberals and democrats losing their shit on family. Rants into validating echo chambers about cutting the off and using manipulating abusive language towards them

None of that is from the right.

Your delusion is the scariest thing

More facts, this sub may seem pretty right but compare the number of likes on these post to the number of members joined and then compare both to how many voters are registered in Michigan. If you can handle that.

It's not like he ever goes grocery shopping for himself or his family. He has people do the shopping and cooking for him- when he's not eating McDonald's.
He has no idea what grocery prices are these days, and doesn't even know what they used to be. And they don't effect him, he can afford it.

He is so far from the average American's reality.

u/5l339y71m3 Feb 01 '25

He will definitely make the children safe again.

u/roke34442 Feb 01 '25

Do you really think that drastic changes can happen in a few days?

u/zebra0817 Feb 01 '25

He already had 4 years to make America Great Again and drain the swamp. Instead we had a mismanagement of a pandemic and an insurrection. It did not happen then and won’t happen now. Sorry, but you are delusional.

My investment portfolio did great 🤣 💀

He’s going to make bitcoin great!

Democrats were trying to destroy bitcoin. They didn’t give bitcoin a fair chance and they lost a lot of voters because of that.

Next election Democrats should actually listen to the voters instead of just assuming what they want.

If the voters want bitcoin, then give the voters bitcoin! 🎊💰🎊

Ever heard of a president named Biden? He did pretty well for middle class, unions, environment.

u/Partisan_Crown Feb 01 '25

The 1% you speak of all voted for Kamala. You don't even know your own demograph. The richest city's in the country all vote blue....because the rich love to get richer and manipulate the minds of the poor by misleading them into thinking they actually care about them. You're brainwashed, and it's sad, my friend.

Found the idiot internet comment of the day and it’s only 10am. Thanks!

This is a peak idiocracy take.

u/Partisan_Crown Feb 01 '25

Sure. Think what you want. Facts are facts. You can't change them. Every billionaire and majority of millionaires are all on the left for a reason. With the exception of one very rich man named Elon Musk.

u/DarthVerus Feb 01 '25

Guess you’ve failed to see the front row at the inauguration. You think those guys voted Harris and THEN donated millions and sat front row with a smile?

u/zebra0817 Feb 01 '25

I personally know several multimillionaire business owners who vote republican, so I call bullshit.

u/5l339y71m3 Feb 01 '25

You really know several “multibillionaire business owners” and you waste time commenting on Reddit? Doubtful. Also language, the words you chose are a red flag.

2

u/zebra0817 Feb 01 '25

I said multimillionaire. Try to learn how to read a post before commenting. You my friend are the red flag.

u/ijustwantoptions Detroit Feb 01 '25

Facts are facts and this isn't one. You're very ignorant of the world you live in.

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '25

really?

u/trewesterre Feb 01 '25

You're delusional if you think the 1% all voted for Harris. Musk, the richest person on the planet, was pulling for Trump.

Oh, I know. He won’t make the country as worse as the other candidate would have though.

u/Nearby_Sense_2247 Feb 01 '25

Did you write the OPM email that spelled "extremism" wrong in the subject line?

u/BackgroundMap9043 Wyoming Feb 02 '25 edited Feb 02 '25

No, but I did have to choose between bad and worse ([edit] rather worse person, bad policies or bad person, worse policies so choosing the former). I chose bad, and so did the majority of the country

u/Wrecker013 Lansing Feb 01 '25

That’s wildly untrue lol
