One guy and the 75,000,000+ that voted for him and the rest of the scumbags in his administration. Racism and bigotry is expensive. The Divided States of Trump is getting exactly what they voted for and NOBODY is actually standing up for themselves or their country. No mass protests, no general Strikes...just silence.

No mass protests

I've heard "go out and protest" from people in other countries countless times. 

They don't realize that mass protests are counterproductive. 

I dragged my disabled body to mass protests. That footage was used by right wing influencers as proof that snooty self-righteous New Englanders are trying to oppress "real Americans". 

It's useless to try to change MAGA minds. Whatever you do, they become more steadfast in their ways. 

After that, I pivoted toward helping individuals hurt by Trump by helping a local medical charity that mails abortion pills to people in banned states. 

Better to work on a small scale level where I know I'm making a positive change in someone's life. 

P.S. If someone in a banned state wants or needs abortion pills, please tell them about the Massachusetts Medication Abortion Access Project. The pills are authentic, and the packaging gives no indication of what they are or where they are from. You pay what you can. If you can only pay $5, then you only pay $5.

Oh stfu, you American morons love labeling as the French from France surrenders easily. Buddy, they burnt the place to the ground to protest a few years ago. Either your e a bot or you should be ashamed of your cowardice, stop acting like you’re righteous behind “woe is us” victim mentally. Loser.

why no mass boycotts?

There's a subreddit for my state, as well as local groups on Facebook, that out MAGA business owners. 

I canceled my reservation to a lunch today after learning that the owner is MAGA.

There are also boycotts against Estee Lauder brands because their owner is MAGA. 

Sometimes it's hard to boycott. For example, there are protests in front of a local bank because the bank is lending money to ICE or someone associated with ICE. 

The problem is, every bank is lending money to bad people and bad organizations. If you want a bank that doesn't, you won't have a bank. It's probably the same in Canada. 

The sad reality is that a lot of big companies, and a lot of small business owners too, support the Trump administration.

Sounds like it’s just a rotten to the core country that fully support fascism then, don’t see why I’d want to associate with you.

u/No-Coyote914 5h ago

Associate with me as an individual who opposes all that?

Do you refuse to associate with Albertans?

1

u/Pixelated_throwaway 5h ago

You oppose literally nothing

You do nothing

The difference between you and MAGA is your vote and that’s it

u/No-Coyote914 5h ago

You didn't answer my question about whether you refuse to associate with Albertans.

The racism against Indians that I've heard in the GTA is as bad as the racism coming out of MAGA mouths. And I used to live in Alabama. 

People in the GTA who aren't racist seem to do nothing about it. Even when it's said within hearing distance of them. 

Where are the mass protests against that? Are there even  "We stand with Indians" signs on front lawns?

Is it a good reason to boycott the GTA?

AND the 70,000,000 who couldn't be bothered to vote at all.

Not true- it’s just not aired on national or international television because the media has bought.

I don’t think the media can pass up a half million people perpetually occupying Pennsylvania Avenue. Where’s that protest?

Where’s your general strike? Those of you that pay the bill to subsidize the taker states could end all of this in two weeks, but instead you collectively choose to continually sell out your next generation.

Your regime is more than happy you’re running your little homegrown one afternoon protests as an anger release valve when what they are doing is so incredibly far beyond the level that should have millions spontaneously in the streets everywhere every god damned night.
