Awesome! I’m pretty sure I see the top of my head, lol. During the speeches, right?

you can protest all you want, it's not gonna change anything. Trump has majority everywhere he needs, and will continue to do whatever he wants, however he wants it. Sometimes reality is just shit

Might as well try if we are doomed, though. Not like he will be merciful if we stay home after all.

They win by making us feel like we’re alone.

Hey. Shut up. Like very seriously, in an entirely straight forward and sincere fashion, shut up. There is absolutely nothing positive that can come from espousing a viewpoint like this right now, meaning you're either just pissing in the wind, in which case stop that, you're covered in piss, look at you, goddamn it, OR you're a bad actor, in which case you can genuinely and wholeheartedly fuck right off and die, please and thank you. If you have nothing meaningful to contribute, just be silent.

you know i'm right, though. should've done more to stop him from getting all the power. Instead, republicans keep winning senate, congress AND president position.
What's the point in protesting now that it's too late and he has the power to do whatever the fuck he wants?

So because, from your perspective, protesting is ineffective, you no longer have a moral obligation to resist what you know is wrong? Or maybe you agree with everything that’s happening, in which case YOU are the problem too!
ArsenalThePhoenix
you can protest all you want. i'm just saying that these particular protests are futile because the law is on Trump's side. He has the Supreme Court in his pocket, he has the Congress in his pocket, he has the Senate in his pocket. What good are these protests gonna do?

Your own conscience.

Nah, you're not right at all. You couldn't be further from correct, if we're being honest. Protests don't start out with molotovs and violence, they start like this. When the government starts trying to crack down on the peaceful protests, shit gets nasty. You are not informed on this, nor are you correct, and you are doing nothing but pissing in people's cereal. As I said before, you'd be better off just being silent.
ArsenalThePhoenix
you're making no sense right now. nobody is talking about molotvs of violence. I am saying that these protests are futile because Trump will just ignore them now that he has total power. As seen in the last 2 months

...please go read a fucking history book. I'm sorry whatever education system you were raised in failed you THIS badly (guessing american, smacks of it), but holy shit, you have no idea what you're talking about. YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE. This is where it starts. It ESCALATES from here. No, no one is talking about what happens if they crack down on these. But they will, because it WILL happen. And then it gets all too real. Please, inform yourself of historical precedents.
wabitgirl
Taht information will be highly valuable to you when push comes to shove, and I'm not going to try to explain it in 500 character boxes.

And even without the violent turn that it's likely to take, look at a history of non-violent resistance and the systems of oppression overcome by it. And please do so before you snap back at me again. You're speaking like someone who has 0 knowledge of history, nor experience in contentious times and it's not a good look, given... well everything going on.
