Protesting the direction of the country under Donald Trump, people will gather Saturday in the nation’s capital and communities across the U.S. for “ No Kings ” demonstrations — what the president’s Republican Party is calling “Hate America” rallies.
This is the third mass mobilization since Trump’s return to the White House and it is expected to be the largest.
It comes against the backdrop of a government shutdown that not only has closed federal programs and services, but is testing the core balance of power as an aggressive executive confronts Congress and the courts in ways that organizers warn are a slide toward American authoritarianism.
I mean … I do hate America.
Love your country. Fuck the fascists trying to take America away from you.
Nationalism is how the gross old men trick the young and stupid into dying for their profit
Real nationalism is to critisize the bad, praise the good and try to improve people lives
Except that’s called Patriotism. There’s a big difference.
Can’t agree more. I love both my country and my state, as fucked up as the politics are. I fight because I know they can be better.
Yeah no thanks. Nationalism, patriotism, and governments and nations in general are all bad. Tribalism is bad. We need something different. It’s really looking like Democracy is 100% incompatible with Capitalism.
Edit: Obviously still fuck those Fascist Nazi Confederate Traitors.
