Peaceful Protests

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Sure does make me feel better to see a bunch of like minded people protesting an authoritarian government.
Especially in Hooterville!
Nice to see it absolutely eclipsed his birthday parade too. Imagine being Trump and seeing that shit. He's seething. :)
He's hiding his head in a sand trap.

I am just grateful it seems the protests were pretty much peaceful and Trump supporters just stayed home. That was the proper approach.

Trump supporters didn't stay home, they brought guns and tried to intimidate in some cases.

Who pulled your chain? Banni made the statement and I was just asking a simple question. I don't question there may have been some crazies in events such as these.

Sorting out a few facts from myths:
Trump is in power. He's the more or less legally elected president, and holds a slim majority in the House, Senate and a bigger majority in the Supreme Court. Fact.

Holding power, however, is not the same as holding a mandate from the people or even a majority of popular support. Trump et al. Hold a mandate only because they say so, and they get by with a lot of law breaking because the wheels of litigation roll slowly. But the Trump administration is losing more than it wins.

There are a lot of people who adamantly oppose some or much of what Trump does or how he does it. These people may include but are not primarily "leftists", loons, extremists
or paid demonstrators but are citizens, voters, and productive members of US society.

To treat these protest rallies as trivial or worse still the work of evil enemies is unprecedented in any presidency. Historically even the most partisan presidents have at least given lip service to the right of existence to the opposition.

The fact that Trump pretends it means nothing doesn't make it so

Add in the fact that by following the Project 2025 playbook and doing things by fiat that never would have been considered by previous presidents who respected the constitution in regards to the rule of law, separation of powers and norms established in 250 years.

For better or worse we 7 million + allies have power and pols are heeding it.

Democratic senators fear getting ‘hammered’ after ‘No Kings’ for ending shutdown
