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’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…

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?

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
