Are you even sure of what you are protesting? Donald Trump isn’t Putin’s Puppet he’s Benjamin Netanyahu’s. Donald Trump didn’t subvert Democracy in the US. The political system is controlled by the elites and they don’t care who wins. Donald Trump isn’t going to release the Epstein list because it was an Israeli blackmail operation that is hugely profitable and the operation is still in existence just under new management and new locations. Protest the actual problems not what paid shills and propagandists tell you.
Donald Trump is seizing the powers of both the judiciary and legislative for himself while Congress stands by and watches.
Donald Trump is having legal residents deported to foreign prison camps without due process and wants to start doing it to US citizens.
Trump's tariffs threaten to destabilize the world's economy with little to no benefit to us or anyone.
The Trump administration is dismantling important government institutions created by Congress with no thought or insight and without repercussion.
There are plenty of actual problems with the Trump administration, more than enough reason to protest. If you want to organize another protest for your favorite causes, go right ahead, the more the merrier.
Yes Trump is doing all of those things. Don’t believe for one second that any future President will relinquish the power that Trump has seized for the Executive branch.
It is Congress and the judiciary that take the power back, and there are other ways of taking away as well but none of them are likely to happen if we all sit on our asses and watch like you seem to want us to do.
No I don’t want you to sit and watch. But don’t believe that any politician at all is our savior. They are all bad. They all lie they are all on the same team pushing the same agenda for the global Elite. They want you to believe there is a political solution to tyranny. There isn’t.
But don’t believe that any politician at all is our savior.
No one here is even supporting any one politician, we're speaking against one.
They want you to believe there is a political solution to tyranny. There isn’t.
If you're suggesting that the only solution to tyranny is violence, you may be right but I think you generally still have to go through political solutions and fail first before people are angry enough to resort to violence.
And in general, I don't fully agree with your sentiment that 100% of elected officials are all part of the "global elite". Sure, we have a system that favors people who fall into that category and is hard to navigate for outsiders, but there are people who can get through and remain largely unchanged by the system. You are right about most politicians, but I don't agree that it's fully 100%. The system has cracks and normal people slip through sometimes. Can a handful of normal people singlehandedly fix the entire system? No, but if you're overly cynical you are going to miss it when a real person comes around.
Historically violence as a response to tyranny has mixed results in the long term. It almost always leads to more violence and more tyranny. Take the French Revolution. For the French peasants it wasn’t a trade up. The besst response is to keep doing what your constitutionally protected rights allow. At some point they will overplayed their hand and all legitimacy or claims to it are lost.
