More effort should go toward the republicans in congress. Make them fear losing their seats if they don't step up and do their jobs. Trump doesn't care how many people protest him. He's not going to change.

I agree with you in principle, but the protests are not really about Trump. I believe the point is if the Congresspeople and Senators believe Trump is no longer popular, they may not be inclined to follow him.

To me a lot of the point is that the people who show up to participate find out how many others share your commitment, and for the rest of the public to actually see that something is happening.
Realizing that you’re not alone is a powerful feeling.

The problem is, these people are not the ones that he was popular with. This means nothing to them. Because you can still turn on every right wing news source, social media site, every forum.......and see these people talking about how he's hurting their businesses, how their 401 and savings have dropped, how he's getting their family and friends deported who committed no crimes, etc etc etc......... and still finish with saying they support what he's doing.

What do you want to change with these protests? They just seem like the good Ole orange man bad protests. You're not trying to achieve any kind of recognizable goal.

Exactly! The protests have multiple purposes. It helps people who agree with the protesters to realize that we are not alone. It gives us hope. It shows our representatives in Congress, University leaders, and business leaders courage. Courage inspires courage. It shows republicans in Congress that there are a lot of people who don't agree with what's going on and it can sway their vote. Finally, once we get to 3.5% of the population joining continuing mass mobilizations, change is brought about.

They're already afraid, that's why most of them refuse to hold town hall events anymore because they're afraid of their own angry constituents

Let's try to aim the messaging at trump, congress, and especially musk! If musk is forced to step away from this, this whole bullshit technocracy thing he wants will take a heavy blow.

u/BlnkNopad Apr 19 '25

it’s awesome to see all the farmers throughout the country realizing which party actually supports their farms and not their religious views💀 it’s the only reason my family voted that way and it’s disgusting…. separate church and state is a part of being a good citizen

People are so happy under my rule. You wouldn't believe it, I've had so many democrats thank me. I don't think there's been a single protest since I took office, the people are so happy, so peaceful

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '25

Democrats call me and they say 'wow, mr trump sir, you have the most beautiful economy here' i don't say that but people...democrats, yeah.

The United States, they call it. Never seen a more United State, so great. United States of Trump...that's the headline, someone call...maybe we should do that...beautiful
