It's hard to see you being able to make it through that time. With ALL the horrible things you expect to happen, you must be seriously scared. And that's dangerous to you, your family, and potentially others. As a liberal, we understand your emotions can be hard to get a handle on. Please man. Do something before it is too late Lol dude I’m not personally scared. I’m white, in a good income bracket. I’m financially secure and I live in the greatest state. My family is healthy (knock on wood) and in my personal life things have never been better. I just love my country and hate to see this guy screw it up.

The Real timschochet 7,311 Posted 23 hours ago 5 minutes ago, BrahmaBulls said: What do you disagree with? I posted facts about the election process. What is going to backfire? A bunch of you clowns are going to spend tomorrow in a circle jerk with goofy signs and chants. You will think the world will change as a result. Normal people will be enjoying their weekend. Next week will be the same as this week and on we go. I disagree with you because sometimes, not always, not always, public protests do lead to positive change. In the 1960s people peacefully protested against segregation, against the Vietnam War, for woman’s rights, for gay rights. And all of these protests were ultimately successful. We know that a majority of Americans now think Trump’s actions are awful per polling. So I am hoping that this latest protest will have a positive, meaningful effect. Of course I have no idea, you may be right: But I’m an optimist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean Mooney 2,043 Posted 23 hours ago I get it's America and people have the right to protest and all that. But the strongest protest you have as a citizen is voting. And I'd imagine there will be a large portion of people at the event this weekend that decided "Oh they screwed Bernie, so I can't vote for Hillary." Or thought, "Well Kamala doesn't support Hamas enough so I'm voting for Jill Stein" or some other such nonsense. These dummies reap what they sowed. No amount of "No Kings" protests 11 months after an election will change their past voting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There will be an election in November 2028. What rights are you protesting? It's an anti-Trump tantrum. You aren't removing him because you lost an election and don't like the results.

For someone to fear monger, this much, about so many things, tells me he needs some help. It's not good. I've seen this before in people and it's unsettling to say the least. It is extremely difficult or someone to be this fearful, about so much, and not have it get to their mental health. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 7,311 Posted 23 hours ago Here are some modest proposals: 1. Stop arresting and detaining and deporting non-violent people. If they have no papers find a way to allow them to stay. 2. Stop demonizing trans people, especially young trans people. Their lives are hard enough as it is. Leave them alone. 3. Stop demonizing Muslim- Americans. They are no different from you. Let them live their lives. 4. Stop cheering for judicial lawfare. Force Trump to obey the law like all Presidents before him. Do these things and we’ll have no reason to protest. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrancieFootball 121 Posted 21 hours ago 2 hours ago, BrahmaBulls said: It's a nice fall Saturday. You would have to be a loser with no life to spend the day protesting where no one cares and nothing will be done. These people should have fixed their problem before the election. They should have protested the Democrat Party just declaring Kamala the candidate instead of voting on it after they removed Biden. That it likely will go down as the largest one-day protest in U.S. history underscores that many Americans care, and Trump's latest poll numbers show that a majority of Americans disapprove of his handling of just about everything. And I can't think of a better way to spent a Saturday than my family attending the rally in Burk Burnett Park here in Fort Worth, educating our children on how to peacefully protest the actions of man who wants to be king. It will be a proud day that will get under this man's skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fireballer 2,676 Posted 20 hours ago lol at the morons who think these protests are led by some massive organic anti-Trump sentiment. These idiots are the same one protesting everything for decades. It’s classic oppressor/oppressed grievances. Yawn. The only bigger idiots are the liberal white women and soy boy Dads that get wrapped up into this shat thinking they’re part of the solution. The only thing these fools want is reallocation of the power structure and will try to take it when there’s a convenient grievance to get behind. Next month, they will pick up their Palestinian or Mexican flags, and latch onto to whatever manufactured crisis gives them an opportunity to tear down society. “The issue is never the issue…the issue is the revolution”. Truer words have never been spoken. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
