I do see people’s point about America just being such a passive or incredibly violent country. But, when I went out to the protest, I did notice that you had anarchist, grannies and liberals in the same setting. So we gotta watch and see what happens over time. But I mean, I think collective suffering is going to push people to the edge. Which eventually will awaken something, I hope. In the meantime, I have my eyes set on Europe. At least the cheeseburger kings bday party was an absolute flop. You can see it in his face. Trump is such a little baby bitch.
I like how all the big media just happened to publish articles about “peaceful protests” to pacify the protestors, “please don’t be violent everyone, the police can’t shoot you all in the leg with rubber bullets”.
The violent protests are the successful ones. Just ask every country, ever.
As someone now living in Europe, I find the US protests mild and small. When Europeans protest, they protest. I mean, my native Greece saw a massive protest in Feb, well over a million went out, in a country of ~9 million. This is how you do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm3vEKMnA-8
You’re basically watching a whole country (re)learn how to do this. Most of us have had it good for a long time, up until very recently. You’re seeing a lot of first-timers in every one of these protests, as the movement grows. Give it time.
…and in France we get maimed by tear gas grenades and rubber bullets for it. Yay.
No one showed up to the cheeseburger kings birthday party.
Republicans should be terrified at this point. The protests are peaceful … for now.
Yes wait a little bit longer to actually do something. LOL
…nah man, they’re just itching for an excuse to roll out deadly force and mass voter suppression…
That looks like a bigger crowd than trump’s birthday war parade.
Might be a bigger crowd than Trump’s inauguration too
I love what Larken Rose has to say about this shit show.

what are the demands youre pushing?
There are none. This is performatism.
it looked a bit like this to me but i want to hear from the people actually going to gauge what it actually is.
The regime must really be worried
they’re terrified, and are going to announced their abdication tomorrow. Congrats and welcome, President Harris!!
And this is after they “cancelled” it.
Can I get this side by side with trump’s inaugurations please

You’re defending a genocider zionist Blue MAGA POS that also voted with republicans to deny healthcare for illegal immigrants are calling ME human garbage and want me to kill myself? LOL
Not going to happen loser.
I’m enjoying watching your shithole go down in flames.
You all deserve it and it’s great entertainment to me.
Cry and seethe, I feast on your tears.
I was a Why don’t you fucking protest!?-guy here on Lemmy and I am not, anymore. It takes time to organize. This is beautiful, I’m proud of you. Keep it up!
As long at they keep it up now. If this is it, if this is all, it won’t do anything

The media doesn’t cover protests. Most local channels are owned by mega corps like Sinclair.
The problem is that information outlets are owned by bad actors.
Fortunately Sinclair only has 1 station in Minnesota, WUCW, which is not one of the big ones where most people get their news (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX).
I think they’re dead last in news market share.
The protests have been all over the news?
Depending on the area. National yes, but look at how local outlets are reporting on them. Lawton OK had one and their local outlets barely covered it par exemple.
I’m just glad there was a protest I didn’t hear about after the fact. Or like the morning of.
Yeah same, Americans are finally kind of getting off their asses and doing something. I don’t think it’s gonna be enough but it’s better than nothing.
Crowds like this have been protesting for months. I saw similar images from various cities at the first 50501 protest. As another commenter posted, media simply hasn’t been covering them.
Please don’t confuse a lack of coverage for a lack of protests.
There were even protests in my tiny town. People have been protesting a lot. Hell, they had a massive one in LA just this week. Anyone who says Americans have not been protesting needs to find different media sources unless the ones used are not meant for international coverage. My workplace is even staging a protest soon.
I don’t understand why you’re getting down-voted. Living abroad and have stopped listening to news since the Trump election. Every 6 months I tune in, and while it seems a lot has happened, no progress has actually been made
this seems cool, but… so what? cute photo op and a tale for the grandkids…
I was there!
I wondered if that was you! I knew you looked familiar!
are you a beautiful tree
Wow don’t dox yourself man
It’s too late I’ve got his social security number
ICE is on rout to send him to El Slavidore.
Proof: it contains numbers
Did the arrow taunt you specifically for a reason? Did you steal its tater casserole?
We do not eat “tater casserole.”
We eat tater tot hotdish.
All tater hotdishes are casseroles
Not all casseroles are tater hotdishes
That’s hilarious, I learned about that not too long ago. Can you give me a good recipe, I want to try one.
Brown a pound of hamburger. Mix it with 2 cans cream of chicken or mushroom or broccoli or whatever cream of soup you like.
Line a casserole dish with tater tots. Add your creamy meat amalgamation and spread it all over the top of the tots. Then add another layer of tots on top. Cover with shredded cheese and bake it covered with foil for however long the tot bag says to bake them. Then uncover and broil it to crust up the cheese.
This is just a base mind you. You can add stuff to it to your hearts content. Add green beans to make yourself feel better about this carb nuke you’re about to consume. Top with canned biscuits to make a pot pie. etc.
This is my favorite recipe, the cheddar cheese soup kicks it up a notch.
I’m proud of you.
I found Waldo!
Now do it again.
