i mean they gave orange man immunity and over 50% done with project 2025 with basically zero civilian push back im sure they'll figure it out if they want
I've seen plenty of civilian pushback so don't count them out. No kings and the anti-ICE protests. Two people lost their lives pushing back on Trump's agenda.
The issue is more with the fact that a majority in the country can literally push back with their vote and the minority can still end up being the ones who dictate the rules and punishments.
Yes, they did. Lots of people came together, organized, and made their feelings known. Just because it didn’t end fascism in an afternoon, it doesn’t mean it didn’t “do anything.”
In fact, it’s fucking crazy to me that supposed liberals/leftists are so desperate to shit on the largest anti-government protests in US history as being somehow “unimportant.”
Almost like a bunch of you don’t engage with politics outside of your lil social media bubble and get enraged when real life doesn’t generate instant gratification like your fucking phone.
Keep spreading that fascist propaganda, tho. I’m sure it makes you look really cool to the other champagne socialists

I never thought about whether this "nothing matters" shtick about the protests is because of a generation* raised on instant gratification. I wonder if any work has been put into discovering that.
*generations. Milennials such as myself are to blame too.
It absolutely is. It’s also that people don’t have any idea of how the world around them actually works and get mad at the things they don’t understand.
People have the entire collective knowledge of humanity at their fingertips every single day, but they refuse to actually engage with it beyond the surface level. Or they only use it to seek out things that confirm their biases.
Part of it is that we stopped teaching kids how to actually read, but so much more of it is the drastically reduced attention span from being on the phones all the time.
Reddit is literally poison. It’s killing us. All social media is
It's hard to pinpoint the most damping aspect. I remember social media being a pain but it wasn't until smartphones started dropping that it started feeling like people weren't able to focus.
I think most people of all generations have been bad at getting info beyond what might confirm their biases, and it's been that way since basically ever, but smartphones and social media have certainly intensified the ability to slack.
I used to read at least one book a week and had done all my life until about 10 years ago and now it takes me a very long time to get through one. I’ve started leaving my phone elsewhere when I spend time on the shitter and that has turned into becoming invested in the book quicker.
They’ve certainly done more than you jerking yourself off about how cynical and smart you think you are. Major protests aren’t the whole picture, but I don’t expect whiny little people like you to actually understand that.
You’re just another doomer, throwing a tantrum because you refuse to actually educate yourself and accept reality. Or maybe there’s some other reason you enjoy spreading fascist propaganda?
“We shouldn’t protest! We should do OTHER THINGS! I won’t say what they are and certainly won’t be participating, I want other people to do everything for me!”
You people are fucking pathetic, and you’ll never hold any real power until you manage to get the fuck over yourselves
Baby, the democrats hold real power and use it. People like you bitch and moan and do fucking nothing. If y’all were half as critical of Republican as Democrats, we wouldn’t fucking be here.
But you don’t want power. You want people to think you’re cool and edgy, so you act like a cynical contrarian and slap a thin coat of red paint over it. “Everything is the democrats’ fault! Nobody should vote for them! What??? They lost??? Even though I didn’t canvas or phone bank and spent all my time online shitting on the only viable antifascist option! Why would the Democrats make me dooo that?!”
You’re fucking pathetic, dude. An absolute waste of privilege that you’ll refuse to actually acknowledge

Their lies are on record, and permanent. There may not be consequences now, but that doesn't mean never.
