As a person who is attended many rallies, protests, etc., over the last 30 years or so, this New King’s protest was among the most goofy and silly. And for a reason: for all of the Nazi haters trying to denounce our movement, we showed up, and did a massive number, and we’re just a bunch of goofy, silly, people who love America and want it to get back to the days where America loves us back.
My take would be that the 1960s protestors were trained/influenced by people who came out of the 1930s to 1950s movements. Those were the days when getting shot by the police or Pinkertons was a real threat. Haymarket Square, the Harlan County War, and the execution of the Rosenbergs were on their minds, and they didn’t want to seem silly or trivial.
Also, Trump is such a joke of a person, it’s hard not to treat the entire thing like a game.
And the foxiest, newsiest assholes could not possibly characterize 7 million goofy silly people as “dangerous, enter American, hummus-living antifa“
Because we were also lovely and silly and wonderful. Never, in history of all protests anywhere ever, have 7 million people come together in a common cause without getting arrested.
Until Saturday
So, let those dick weeds call us “violent” let them call us “crazy terrorists”. There is now mountains of evidence that the reality is quite the opposite. Calling those assholes “liars” has just become much much easier.
Trump wants an excuse to call the protests violent so he can legitimate sending ICE and the national guard into blue cities and after his opponents.
A group of clowns and a guy in a frog suit are not the violent extremist that justify the use of force. Plus they allow us to mock him, since his fragile ego is the only thing he cares about.
Problem is u don’t think it’s going to work but I’d like to be wrong. And please don’t post only 3.5% number and go read what those people actually say. And it was an observation not a rule.

Yes! This! It was a bunch of goofy, silly people that defeated Hitler and the Nazis too!
So glad the US isn’t fascist anymore.

So that was the goal? To show them how harmless we are?
I’m still trying to make sense of what was accomplished if anything.
Amazon sold a lot of frog suits I guess.

Pretty sure he cares about money and power far more than his ego, but good try.
Good thing he hasn’t sent ICE and the national guard to blue cities.
There’s a difference between symbolic protesting and concrete protesting.
If you’re too stupid to “get it”, don’t blame me. Your ignorance is not, nor will it ever be, my responsibility.
Or, you could do what normal adult adults do when confronted with their own ignorance… Go look that shit up for yourself.
LMAO

So you can’t name a single thing accomplished, and instead start insulting me while calling yourself wonderful. You sound like Trump.
Lmao
Only if you lied to yourself. But I imagine you do a lot of that already.
Just know that, when you finally kill yourself, I’ve blocked you. So nothing you say matters.
Lol
The days where you committed crimes against humanity on foreigners not citizens?
I would actually legitimately hate every American if you lot push to go back to the status quo.
You have my pity
You have my disgust.
Americans need to be forced to confront the evils they perpetuate. Go look at some photos of the abuses under Gitmo, that’s what your nation is.
Are you trying to Make American Great Again?
America was never great. It always has problems Americans are just brainwashed from an early age to think their country is better.
I thought I had all of your alts blocked, but thank you for presenting it another so I can have all of them blocked
I have this one and my lemmy.world one.
