I’ll go
- I’m not alone.
- Trump:
Declares martial law
Or
Has defied court orders
Or
Has committed violence against government officials
Or
Dissolved all other branches of government
There is probably more but these are ones that come to mind.
Edit:
Deleted my responses. I asked for honest opinions. I’m not here to call balls and strikes.
It will take the protests being armed.
Because if the protests aren’t armed, they’re not going to accomplish anything. There will be no change if the wealthy class isn’t made to live in fear of the public.
Strike power is real power
True, but in America, you’re far more likely to get an armed protest than a general strike.

Calm yourself Mario, Luigi tried & failed
tried and failed
He literally shot the guy three times in the head lol
Maybe he means failed to enact meaningful change? I don’t much had changed internally for insurance companies other than getting a legal basis to stamp out any vocal dissent as a “threat”.
Change will come much quicker when protest groups ditch peaceful protest and show up armed, en masse, with AR-15’s.
Guaranteed.
Don’t count him out yet. Change is slow. I know we’re used to hearing about revolutions in the aftermath, with the whole complete story. We’re living one now, and it’ll go slowly at first.
Implying he’s in the hole and will never see the light of day again when his trial hasn’t even started
When republicans realize the massive fuck up they created and join the protest as well. Otherwise no protest will matter. You’d need a Luigi miracle realistically
Luigi didn’t solve anything. He’s barely ever mentioned anymore. All he did was empower corporations to become more corrupt.
You think him not being mentioned is a coincidence? I think it’s mainstream media doing damage control to reel in their prior reporting. Since he was at large for a while his face and later his name was EVERYWHERE. In cases of mass shootings the shooter is almost never mentioned or named anymore. There’s a reason for that
Media plays a big part in encouraging copycats looking for their weeks of infamy. In the past it used to be serial killers, then years ago it was mass shootings, and thanks to the instant stardom they gave Luigi the near future could very well be more assassinations.
Right or wrong his success was demonstrating that being rich doesn’t mean someone is untouchable.
His plea was entered just the other day
He invades Canada.
Sorry yall but I left America so I’m hoping you can sort out your own shit.
Protesting accomplishes very little (I won’t say nothing) so I’m gonna go with… nothing, I’m gonna continue using my time better.
Speaking as a former longtime activist.
Go meet people and form communities, working groups, whatever. If going to a protest makes you feel better go nuts.
But the actual work is done outside the protests. If you want to do something useful, find that.
I’ve been to protests; and I’ve volunteered for political campaigns. The second actually flipped a (US House) seat from red to blue (obviously the work of many people; I’m not thinking I was the deciding factor but it was a close election). The first left me with a pink hat and no noticeable change in how elected leaders acted.
I need to be convinced the protest will achieve measurable changes; otherwise I’ll spend my time looking for the upcoming elections where there are close enough margins to feel my actions make a difference.
Okay okay
Why were you convinced protesting achieves change? How does that happen?
What changes did you want to see? How did you expect those to be implemented?
This sounds to me like “I’ve done a politics once”, not any actual understanding of protests and their history

Cool. Have fun.
I’m 38, I’ve been doing this a while. I camped during Occupy. I formed coalitions during the first Trump administration. I’ve helped start chapters of a couple organizations in my region, and people in my community know me. That’s worth more than your comment.

Buddy if you just wanna feel good about going to the streets, cool. Enjoy. I’m all for a good riot.
But if you still haven’t idk read Manufacturing Consent etc to understand this shit you’re just playing games.
What am I supposed to be grateful for here lmao? One more clueless person on the internet ignoring what activists tell them?
I don’t want more men on the streets, I want men in the kitchen fixing their fucking families.

protesting is where you meet these communities and working groups.
Yeah that’s the only part I consider useful
Your *third “or” happened already.
(The violence one)
Talking Jan 6th?
A viable protest of decent size in my city that I can join. Even a few hundred people would be enough. Organized enough that I hear about it a week out and can shift my plans to be there.
I’m waiting for the 2A nutjobs to realize this is the moment they’ve been fantasizing about their entire pathetic lives.
Guess I shouldn’t hold out for them.
They are cowards. Trump being their man is enough to keep them in line.
Spent their lives toting big guns, but all they ever really wanted was a big man to call Daddy.
Other people actually giving a damn enough to do something other than post about it. I protested in the past and absolutely nobody gave a shit and it had zero effect. I don’t even think the protest was covered on the news.
I suspect that for any average American (or even a single digit percentage of them) to bother getting involved things are going to have to get extremely bad.
I’m not American, so probably not until he escalates his messing with other countries to the bombs and guns stage.
