    What do you want us to do?

      Most of us have been fighting since day 1 when he took office. Even if you do not think we are.

      I myself work in Higher Education, and we’re at war.

      I attended an anti trump rally openly carrying a sign and a firearm, what have you done?

      Have you protested outside of Tik Tok or an Internet forum? Have you called your representatives and demanded they do more than hold up a tiny paddle?

      Fuck, I get keeping your head down, hell that was my going in plan for the next four years but fuck me if were not getting into China levels of totalitarianism much quicker than expected and Americans are barely making a squeak. Honestly it’s very pathetic.

        For me, it’s tough. I’m in a super blue state. Everyone here, with one notable exception, believes Trump needs to be stopped.

        You can guess who: 😏

        But protesting HERE doesn’t mean much. Like I say, WE KNOW. We mostly all agree. We also protest all the time, for no reason at all.

        Same for Washington, same for California. I guess we could pack up and go to Idaho to protest, but they strike me as the kinds of people who won’t look kindly on folks from another state telling them how to vote.

        If there were a giant protest in D.C.? That might get attention.

          Brain damaged or not, call them anyways. Literally the least, the absolute least, you can do. Otherwise, just keep reading that poem until it’s too damn late

      A general strike might be a good start. And there’s always that 2nd amendment.

      This is something.

      Organized under the “Hands Off!” banner, demonstrations voicing opposition to the administration’s policies occurred in over 1,400 locations across all 50 U.S. states,[18] drawing up to an estimated 3-5 million participants nationwide according to the demonstration organizers.[19][20] According to demonstration coordinators, the protests involved a coalition of over 150 progressive, labor union, pro-democracy, civil rights, LGBTQ+, and women’s rights groups.[24]

      In Tennessee, protests were held in Knoxville[163] (reportedly with thousands of attendees),[164] Nashville[165] (around 3,000 attendees),[166] Chattanooga, Maryville,[167] Johnson City , Kingsport (around 500),[168] Greeneville, Morristown,[169] and Cookeville.[170]

      In Florida, thousands of protesters demonstrated in Miami,[173] joined by about 1,000 protesters in Pensacola,[174] and nearly 2,000 in The Villages,[175] a Republican stronghold retirement community in which organizers attempted to limit the number of online RSVPs to 500.[176].
