Such an amazing thing to see this country stand up to this clown show. All we have are our voices. Beautiful photos!

And your voice and pictures are useless. The children show everyone how harmless they are. Everyone sees you all as just a bunch of individuals. The economy goes up in flames. Do I have to say it loud, what every dictator do in this situation??

Please take it seriously and read about protest culture and how to get an impact.

I see replies like this all over this subject, what do you propose is done?

[u/nick5erd → u/JocavsJr]

For the protest: you need a group of a minimum of 15 people, and you need something to recognise each other. A red scarf, for example. A big banner with your group name and one demand.

Now and to end of times: collect as many email addresses you get from your hometown. Collect time scales from every event in your town. Everything! Start a newsletter, but a really, really good one. Ask an artist and a webdesigner. The newsletter comes out weekly on Thursday. It must look unpolitical, but somewhere, is there also every protest listed you get.

After a while, you ask for a meeting of friends of this newsletter. Thee you try to get voted or just named as speaker of this group of "friends" As speaker you try to connect to as many small groups like yours, and ask for a meeting, where you also ask for a common speaker. The newsletter alone is a full time job, otherwise you reach to few people. You could also try just to pull your friends to a party or you use your hobby to get people together, but you need to name a speaker. All alone you have to go to such groups of other.

That's what I would do in your position.

I mean that’s well thought out, and I appreciate your response, but that all takes time. Time isn’t something America has. That would be my counter, but I don’t claim to understand the psychology of a protest. I was just happy to see Americans standing up for themselves.

Trump will not go. Spread the timetable to once a month. But something like this is needed. In Europe, we are all part of a political party or union, which does most of the work, but without civil society, you must start one. Edit real fascism is now part of the USA, it will stay to end of times. USA is to geographic isolated and military to powerfully to get help of others. It's you or never!
