    Starting to think lemmy is starting to be targeted by the maga bot farm and hired instigators.

    Reddit is lost. It’s all bots now.

    So they thought they could follow us here.

    Most on here are pretty liberal. So it’s not going to work. FO.

    Next they will talk about how Hamas is anti lgbtq and the Israeli are actually super wonderful kind people.

    I’m glad ppl made it out. And showed their stance. But the worst part is that this will have 10 second less than 25 word coverage on major news outlets

      Couldn’t that also work in your favor? People starting to question why such large movement isn’t covered on major news outlets?

    I was on vacation and ended up joining the one that was legit outside my hotel. I will have to join the next one in my hometown. My biggest thought was it needs to happen every single week.

    I was at this protest:

    Had to make sure I wasn’t in any of the photos after this, because they are very serious about the area being extremely pro Trump. I know of at least 5 permanent Trump signs in the area.

      Always makes me sad to see these stroadside protests that don’t have enough people to shut down the road. You guys deserve better

          You guys need a sustained general strike, Trump and his billionaire backers only care about the bottom line $$. Unfortunately regardless of the size of the peaceful protests, once a month just won’t cut it.

      Hope you stay safe. This was the photo where i thought the people had the most guts to be there. If its really that supportive of your fuckhead in chief, i can’t imagine many friendly onlookers.

      Although, i suppose with the smallest voting bloc being republican, and largest being non-voter, maybe you’d get more disinterested people than outright aggression.

        The reality is that this is an extremely busy intersection. There were more than one diesel truck that attempted (and had some success) to cover people in smoke. I believe the only reason that there wasn’t any real aggression was there being hired security there.

    There was one minutes away from my home in suburban Aurora, CO. For being such an off-central location, turnout was excellent and there was so much support from those driving by! I realized how great those protests outside of downtown are; super convenient (easy to attend and get others to join) and seeing things like that happen in unexpected places, especially the more residential areas, has a little more meaning when you drive by.

      My mom lives in a a gated “active adult” community. A small group got out in front of the neighborhood early in the morning, protested for about an hour, then went to Denny’s.

      The last No Kings protest had a bit of a controversy. Everyone in the neighborhood tools around in golf carts, and a MAGA resident rode hers down to the protest, and ended up deliberately hitting another old lady with her cart, and taking off.

      Nobody knew who she was, and by the time they found her, she had moved away.

      What about the freedom to put what drugs I want in my own body? Cause my whole life it seems like everyone was super gun hoe to take that freedom from me. To use it as an excuse to expand the bipartisan police state.

      Fuck the “normal” people lust for.

      Aren’t you too busy ‘fucking all those conservative wives’ who ‘need a real man’? From the unintelligent way you advocate for violence, to the incel way you talk about women, I’d almost think you were MAGA posting here in an attempt to make progressives look bad.

        The protests are to keep reminding ourselves that we aren’t alone and other people are willing to stand with us and back us. If we can engage our neighbors a bit, all the better.
