Bruh. Yes. Remember there were protests against Trump before he was even president?

[-] Backspacecentury@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah except those protests were not astroturfed, just people with valid complaints.

And they were right.

[-] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Sure, but that's not my point. The comment I was replying tried to dismiss what I said because apparently it's impossible for people to protest someone who hasn't taken office yet.

No, my comment was questioning whether a political party would bus protestors in to protest their own party, not claiming that there weren’t any protests at all.

EDIT: I was assuming these protests were happening for months. That said, I can see that they could be protesting the election results, so the time between the election and the swearing in.

Because Trump said what he was going tk do and people didn't like. He didn't even win the majority and had revealed himself tk he racist and sexist, of course people were going to protest him.
