      Finally what? Finally the media is covering the protests that have been going on the entire time? They’re growing but they weren’t small even a month or two ago.

          What might be being protested? Lesse…

          • Late Social Security cheques for people who depend on them to pay their bills. This includes elderly and disabled people.
          • Lost jobs and the loss of the paycheques for people laid off by both DOGE and the economic chaos the shitgibbon in chief is producing.
          • People who have done nothing wrong being sent to a gulag in El Salvadore, and everything that entails.
          • Attacks and erasures on people’s gender identities. You won’t care of course, but many of us do because after they get done with people they tag with the foreigner label, they’re coming after transgendered people next, then after that, they’re coming after the rest of us. We’ve seen this play before. We’d like it to end without going to World War 3 to de-Nazify us.
          • Attacks on our friends in Canada and Mexico and Europe and so on.
          • Increasing inflation.
          • Decreasing opportunities.
          • Unelected billionaires trashing our government.
          • Naked Fascist displays.

          I could go on, but I know you’re not here to be enlightened. If you were, you’d just google that. I mean, I just used Gemini to give a report of some of the top reasons for protesting, and a comprehensive answer was presented to me in less than 10 seconds, so I’m sure you could go do so as well. Why might you not? Oh. Rule 3. I can’t answer that. :|

          (I missed a few things that Gemini picked up on. The imposition of an unpopular ideologue playbook on the country. Cuts to agencies we all rely on. Those were two things I didn’t include. Goes to show there are even MORE reasons to protest, but I don’t want to spend more time than I have on this dishonest debater. My point was made.)

        Why are you so hostile? Calm down.

        This is the first time I’m seeing any major movement outside of when Vance visited Vermont on any socials and media I follow.

          Sorry, the hostility wasn’t really aed at you. It was more intended to be aimed at the media. I’m just a little tired of people believing that protests weren’t happening before now. They were happening but the media wasn’t covering them.

            I’ve really been noticing the lack of actual news out of the US the past few months. It’s been incredibly weird. And online I’ve mostly seen Americans apologizing and talking about how they’re gonna wait because «It will fuck the MAGAs over even more»

            I’m very happy to see you guys doing this. So you have my support!

              100% agree.

              Most of my news has been through an active interest on the YouTube. Glad too see such a large turnout, it’s been a wild ride. Pretty scary to watch at times, hard to really tell what the actual consensus is on the ground level.

              Good to see people taking action.

              I really enjoy watching You tubes of Rachel Madden, Lawrence O’Donnell, Stephen Colbert and some others. Last couple of weeks, none of these appear in my feed, I have to actively search for them, and even then it’s like they are on holidays. Also, any You Tube comments I make seem to disappear… I am pretty sure there’s some suppression and censoring going on. Maybe, they are finally afraid?

        The media are complicit with Drumpf. After all, they created him. But now the owners have lost some money, they’re jumping aboard. Never forget that the mainstream media are your enemy!

        Fox News and the other propaganda channels are giving absurd amounts of coverage to liars. NBC just had on the secretary of the treasury where he was pitched softball questions. Without blinking this soulless minion claimed a crash is good for americans. But even a complete donkey would be skeptical of the claim that a massive economic contraction would be good for everyone.

        This moron was talking out of both his blow holes about how the tariffs and economic collapse would lead to lower prices. Anyone who couldn’t spot the obvious contradictions (these people are contradicting themselves in the same paragraph) is beyond all hope.
