Very encouraging watching the protests yesterday all across the country. No cops beat, no violent uprising against an authority or government (definition of insurrection)

What we had were peaceful protests. Millions of Americans honored the First Amendment. Not one violent report. We have to keep this going. https://youtu.be/ExvSlO9lHOA
I also noticed a lack of counterprotests, which helped keep the protests peaceful & non-violent.
It was like MAGA didn't take this protest seriously or they're not organized.
My husband said that MAGA is now scared after seeing how many people came out to protest. 💙🌊
In addition to losing their jobs, their international contracts, government contracts, farms, businesses, and ability to pay for basic needs.
Some are finally realizing they were lied to.
Others are so entrenched in the cult, they can't see the truth - the felon guys doesn't care about them.
I keep thinking about those parents in Texas who lost their unvaxed child to measles and say they are still anti-vax. They are religious people; their god gave them a brain, yet they refuse to use it.
That's why MAGA are destroying the Dept of Education to keep their base ignorant.
When people are taught basic science & rational thinking, they see past the lies & can't be lead like sheep.
Being that I live in the Bible belt, I can tell you that they live their lives doing EXACTLY WHATEVER THEY WANT. Then because they wanted it, it becomes "God's will".
Yeah I have to shout out Seattle. We’ve been given a bad rap re protests since Chop. There were 10,000 people downtown yesterday and it was all more calm and peaceful than Disneyland. And it was -packed- traffic and walking were terrible but people held order. Good job all.
That’s the difference btwn us & them. Was over an hour before I saw a cop in NYC there were only about 30 they said. They didn’t realize so many ppl would be out. 🤦🏼♀️ The NYPD should stop voting for Trump. Considering Dems literally created unions. We didn’t need any cops bc volunteers sorted traffic!
Very inspiring.
Little hint (or wish): do what you can to keep this movement from being co-opted by celebrities. And celebrity entertainment.
Let them post and repost their support on social media. Or come and stay in the background.
Important that protests do not become a free concert or party.
Not sure if this applied to all the locations but my local one also made sure it was accessible for those with mobility issues. Peaceful, powerful and inclusive :)
After the violent and disruptive protests of the past few years, I find it hard to believe protesters have actually learned anything and are actually being peaceful.
The very definition of protesting has changed from activism to "let's disrupt everyone else's lives to force them to run to the government to solve the problem we are protesting about just to shut us up. Oh, wait! That's not good enough! Now we want them to literally bow down to us and worship us!
🥱 it’s still activism and it funny that those whining the most about govt handouts are the very companies & industries that get govt handouts. Do you need a moment? You seem to be spiraling into a fantasy you need to believe.
Who are the cultists? You Demoncrats are committing the same wrong you accuse Republicans of committing - you adamantly refuse to even acknowledge the mistakes your own people make and blame everything on the other party.
Do you have any evidence yesterday’s protests weren’t civil & peaceful? Then post it. If not, then stop gossiping like a child bc I’m not interested in what you find hard to believe.
Considering I had at least a couple people responding to these comments who literally admitted that disrupting people's lives and pissing everyone off was the whole point of protesting "because of it's not pissing people off, it's not a protest, it's a meeting" and nobody did anything about it...
"peaceful protesting" is literally nothing more than standing on a sidewalk holding a sign and screaming.
Blocking traffic, disrupting people's lives, and labeling anyone who isn't out protesting as "part of the problem" is not considered "peaceful protesting"
FFS. Throwing tea into Boston harbor, Sitting at a counter protesting, sitting on a bus, crossing the Pettus bridge (bc of racist laws)-both peaceful, disruptive & disobedient. There are nuances to both. You’re simply trying to paint all as violent which is childish & incorrect.
We had a great turnout here in Knoxville. Thousands (including me and some buddies!) lined the streets downtown. Nothing but positive energy and unity! 🇺🇸❤️
There are very few of us who have fought the “Death Cult Republicans” and lived to speak of it, so when WE choose to speak of it, YOU should choose to LISTEN.
Harry, in Topeka, Kansas - which you visited recently - there was a huge crowd. Some say 1,000; others say more. And you know what? There was one patrol car and one policeman asking people to keep the sidewalks clear. I'd call that one very successful peaceful protest.
Interesting because I remember police using excessive force during the Black Lives Matter marches. Could it be they were racist because the majority marching were black?
I believe so.
Next rally HAS TO include protesters around whatever golf course Trump is playing at at the time! The chants need to be loud enough to make his game completely unpleasant.
Can't speak for everywhere but in Las Vegas people were saying thank you at all the intersections. The officers were blocking traffic and ensuring protestors could safely cross. lvmpd has a lot of shit and some bad eggs
But they did the good thing yesterday.

I guess MSM doesn't have any interest in mass demonstrations unless somebody breaks glass.

Next mass union strikes. Shut it down.

Every accusation is a confession with you cultists

Learn the difference.
