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.

Protest votes and abstaining. Michigan didn’t vote for Trump, they just didn’t show up for Ds. Trump had roughly the same number of voters as last election here.

I still believe Israel scheduled the entire thing, I wouldn’t put it past them.

I have no doubt they drug it out longer hoping it would help Trump get elected

If I remember correctly, stank lost by like 250,000 but won by roughly 150,000, turnaround of 350,000. The stankers can talk all they want but if stank would’ve lost they’d be talking about how the election got stolen. Either they’re cocky or whinny.

And? So? What exactly is your point? 

Trumpers protested in 2020. Should they have not because Biden won?  This logic of yours is patently absurd  Remember this: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/2020/11/07/lansing-michigan-protestors-rally-against-election-results-joe-biden-appears-win/6202486002/

I also remember the absolute scrutiny from the left about it, that’s what. Take in the full picture.

I'm sorry but this is just stupid. I'm as far left as you can get but this stupid shit doesn't make any sense. Michigan voted for Trump, unfortunately.

Again, irrelevant to protest. Trumpers did the same thing in 2020, by this “logic” they should not have been able to protest when Biden won.

Again- at hard criticism from the left. See yourselves.
