    Peaceful protests have been happening every week since he took office. And they’re the only thing that actually have a chance to change any of this.

    Either get a rifle and put your money where your mouth is so we can move on without out- and maybe your family survives your stupidity; or join us.

    But don’t fucking egg others into downing something you’re too cowardly to do.

    I hope you join us, it’s a waste otherwise.

      How have the protests helped so far? And I’m completely willing to do this, I just lack literally any of the means to do it. I don’t expect most people to do this. But there’s enough people with nothing left to lose, to do something. Anything. I don’t like violence. But protests only work when the government cares about popularity and giving the people what they want. I’d like for peace to work. But there’s either causing real interference, or waiting this out. I don’t think many of us will be around unscathed by that point.

      Peaceful protests have literally never solved anything of significance. Perhaps I’m ignorant to something, but if there has ever been a nationwide peaceful protest that has accomplished something, I’d love to hear it. I’d love to hear stories from non US nations as well if there are stories there.

        You never learned about the Civil Rights Movement? That was pretty fucking significant.

            Well, that was mostly peaceful. Well, the MLK Jr. era part. Those worked because democrats wanted votes and knew they’d get them. Trump doesn’t care.
