Nazis doing nazi things.
Great example for others. Non-violent, solidarity, for something completely reasonable.
Im waiting for comments like a dude who complained the democrats delaying trump picks did not do anything because of the republican changed some rules and got them. Or that people protesting are doing nothing.
I think protesting does do something, at least on a personal level. It’s been endearing to go to a few, see people I know, see horns honking in support. It’s maybe 10:1 in my area for positive to negative responses.
That makes me feel like when shit comes to my neighborhood, I’m not alone with how I feel.
I don’t believe there are immediate wins most of the time, but a wave starts as a drop in the ocean. Things take time to build. His popularity is bad; he complained to Fox News saying they have the worst polling. It’s Fox News…
If the people protest, it makes others feel safer to do it. If lawmakers do it, they are setting a positive example in my book. I hope more people join them next time. When it’s 1000 people, it’s hard to arrest everyone.
While I was not a big protestor before I had been to things and even stuff that was not exactly protests tended to feel more niche based on feedback you got from people. Its encouraging at protests all the support honking and people stopping to shake hands or say something and apologizing that they can't join in at that particular one.
Fucking fascist nazi Fucking pigs. Dox every fucking one of the cops involved in arresting lawmakers.
