Outside of typical remarks from Donald Trump, JD Vance and Mike Johnson and a Fox News report, party stayed mum
Republican voices were mostly silent as No Kings rallies and marches against Trump administration policies unfurled on Saturday, many in the spirit of a street party that countered the “hate America” depiction advanced by senior members of the party.
Instead of provocation, there were marching bands, huge banners with “we the people” references to the US constitution, and protesters wearing inflatable costumes, particularly frogs, which have emerged as a sign of resistance.
It was the third mass mobilization since Trump’s return to the White House and came 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 protest organizers warn are a slide toward authoritarianism.
A lot of media outlets worldwide are ignoring these protests or covering them very briefly when nobody’s watching. Most likely due to influence from the US.
MeidasTouch baby!
Most likely because the world has given up on the USA and is moving on. Your problems are well-deserved, they figure.
First of all, I’m not an American. As much as I despise the American Empire, I hold no ill feelings towards the American people. They are as much victims here as the rest of us.
Sadly we can’t be that disengaged from the US because when your economy goes under from all of this, so will most of the worlds.
If the situation is anything like Canada in many nations, most media outlets are owned by US corps. Over half of our outlets are being controlled the same as US media.
Yeah that’s it. Excellent input. 👍
