Godspeed to all of you attending, especially those in the red states.
The 50501 are the group leading this charge. Their website has all the information anyone would need on where and when to protest.
Wee fascism
Thanks for this nice post Sergio, Only 2 hours to go before these protests begins !
More peaceful protests. That always fixes things. The US even became a nation after peacefully protesting the British.
Peaceful protests are a symbol of potential violence and support.
That’s only true if there was actual significant violence by the protestors at least in the last half century.
If a dog barks all the time but never bites you’ll stop fearing it.
Sure. When has the peaceful one made anyone stop?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Tea_Party The Boston Tea Party was an American political and mercantile protest on 1773 December 16 (…) The episodes escalated into the American Revolution (…)
Yeah. A protest that didn’t work. What happens next, after tea bagging the ocean? The brits leave us alone?
The more tyranny, the more dissension, the more instability. So things will change, a lot.
There were plenty of peaceful demonstrations during the American struggle for independence. (example)
Did they give us what we wanted? Nope. The protests happen all the time, but name one instance when it actually worked. Nothing ever gets done unless a stick gets involved. Now we have a nazi billionaire running around with an orange felon senior citizen and the only thing that happens is “please, stop it” but they didn’t even hear you enough to reply back.
Did they give us what we wanted? Nope. The protests happen all the time, but name one instance when it actually worked.
The example I linked describes how a peaceful protest convinced the Pennsylvania Assembly to vote for American independence.
Respectfully, I think you are arguing in bad faith.
