If you plan to do protesting - i wpuld highly recommend getting a Faraday bag gor your phone. Just turning it off isn't good enough
Protest by going out to vote. Only 64% of eligible voters participated in the 2024 election. Trump won the popular vote by a slim margin but got less votes than Biden did in 2020. Had more Democrats voted, we would have won the election.
I was talking to my brother about this the other day and tin foil hatting... Perhaps musk didn't rig the election in trumps favour by adding votes, but instead deleting the democrats votes. Thus making the left feel helpless while still guaranteeing an election
Yep. You're not 'tin foil hatting', this is just what happened. Can't believe this still needs to be said, but here's a post I just made : https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/21747932
Fun fact, this is the first time we get someone really serious about fixing anything and the left completely ostracized and scared about the absurd amount of people that will go to jail and/or lose their bullshit DEI jobs funding transgender plays in another country.
Musk, a non-government official who gave a Nazis salute multiple times on video, is going through federal organizations and accessing data he shouldn't be and denying people access when they should have it.
That honestly doesn't scare you at all?
Brother name one way your life has improved by MAGA efforts.
You can’t because your life more or less sucks and you just get off on performative dunking.
This kind of comment admits really only 2 possibilities:
This is the standard authoritarian tactic of flooding the zone with shit, spewing verbal diarrhea without regard to truth, but rather to disrupt discourse, to intimidate and disconcert, as Sartre famously said.
The writer is actually dumb enough to believe it, against all available evidence.
I guess there's also:
Oy, sometimes I wish I could be as deluded as this, biggest fears being DEI (ahem, brown/black) and trans people. AHHHHH, so scary for the alpha males.
Okay, but fascism apart, how can you explain USIAD wasting money on transgender plays and DEI initiatives… there’s something wrong here there for sure.
Fun fact, billions of dollars go through USAID for global health and humanitarian needs and idiots cry to dismantle it because of $70k on a theater play (which turned out wasn't a USAID project). When actual legal paths to contest specific spending do exist.
protests accomplish nothing, people. when are yall gonna figure that out?
"but it's cause the media doesn't cover them!" - do you own the media? can you change that? then they accomplish nothing. like i said.
"oh my god we did this thing for attention and no one is paying attention to us"
Maybe because we're burnt out because people are outraged every couple of minutes.
Apathy is a part of the problem. The road to Nazi Germany was lined with many of your type that complained that the damn left are complaining too much
Nice of the shitlibs in the comments to out themselves as not just do-nothing cowards, but active agents against dissent.
Now if only all these people upset at Trump could have done something useful about it when they had the chance, like I dunno, voting against him...
Remember the BLM protests under his watch? He just had them gassed so he could have a photo op. I don't doubt he'd go further this time around. And with him gutting every federal agency that could protect Americans from foreign influence, they're not getting a useful opposition any time soon...
And they're still in control and breaking things...
