Is anyone feeling like marching on Washington yet in massive numbers and throwing the bum out? I think it would be better to do it sooner than later because you’re gonna have to do it.

He owns all of the courts and all of Congress. He never should have been certified, but the people who are SUPPOSED to enforce the rules have decided to just not care.
This is the culmination of the GOP's long game, starting with Reagan and then Newt Gingrich. They captured the courts, the media and many state and local offices. We are well and truly screwed.
We will be one of the weakest countries in the worlld.
The immigration raids are motivated by greed too. They want people for their private prisons. They overcharge the government for the detainees. Then they give those immigrants less than what is necessary. They withold basic services.
Ok, true, but we can’t just do nothing now. If we get forced to our knees we aren’t getting up again. People had better figure that out and fast. We need to strike or do something NOW, and in large numbers.
The only lasting change must involve the puppet masters. They must feel pain. They don't care what happens to their puppets. But they care what happens to their wallet and ego driven reputation.
Came here to post the same thing. He told us EXACTLY what he wanted to do and more people voted for him than Harris. So far nothing he has done has been a surprise. Sadly this is what the people wanted. Many people want a bully to fight the people they hate.
This is what Georgians do. French do that. Iranians also. Syrians did it also. It works, maybe not in 10 minutes but eventually it can work, the real question is do americans have the guts to stick it out. To many have short attention spans and need instant gratification
It was done on Jan. 18th, the Peoples March. Only a fraction showed up compared to the Women's March the 1st time he was elected. It was the same organizers. They have said they need to find other ways to challenge Trump. I am not sure I agree. But it would take a lot more people.
No he doesn't, he controls his army of goons which is any militia group in the country that's his army and there's way more of us than them.. Are people going to die.. yes.. it's inevitable in a resistance fight. Some military personnel will fight for 🟠🤡 but I feel like most won't.
I’m thinking a widespread general strike involving countries all over the world. With so many other countries’ economies at risk from tRump’s behavior, we may be able to get an international response that would make a difference. Hit those assholes where it hurts: $$$$. What we need is an organizer.
Not to be a negative Nancy, but Everything is already rigged in his favor. Pres immunity, scotus, congress, his cabinet, military, media,
His own personal militia w patriot front, proud boys, q, + the 1500 pardoned who now "owe" him.
We shouldn't have let it get this far. Now I fear its too late.
You want to know what’s not in his favor, his health. He has horrible eating habits he’s got some level of dementia and he’s got a job that pummels far healthier people than him. He has temper tantrums that can kill him and no one is the least bit interested if he lives or dies. It’s coming.
This is the f** kin problem most Americans give up before they even get started they're afraid of uncomfortable situations well it's coming what's it going to take for you to get uncomfortable and rise up for yourself, your family, your friends, your country... AMERICA GET UNCOMFORTABLE....
We've been uncomfortable. But what can we do? What's your solution? Protest? Doesn't do shit. Court? Like I said everything is in his favor. Laws. Everything. Even if he dies, look who's next in line, JD Vance. Definitely part of Project 2025. All im saying is we already let it get way too far.
Guaranteed they would have the pseudo-military fire live ammunition into the crowds. Remember last time when protesters were arrested by black uniformed officers with no insignias, thrown into unmarked vehicles and taken away? It could only be worse now. Where is Eric Prince these days?
The longer we wait... I'm re-reading Rise and Fall of the Third Reich because I can follow along in real-time now. There was a point where Germany could have thrown the bums out - if it could have imagined what the end game would be like. After that point, National Socialism becomes normalized.
I watched the History Channel about the same for years. I told my wife that fascism is coming to this country with Trump and it is here now. Now we must defeat it and remove those involved.
How? Because they're going to win the elections. They control all three branches of gov't., the military. The electorate has to get to a point where they change their mind. In the 3rdR, that required foreign occupation.
That is exactly it waiting is your biggest mistake. You just allow them to become entrenched. And this whole spying on your neighbours and turning people in just gets deeper and deeper, and it gets harder and harder.
Bishop Budde had a great approach. If we could organize religious groups to do Gandhi-like prayer protests I think they’d be less likely to get shot at that normal protesters. Just reading the sermon in the Mount into a megaphone would be an indictment of this administration!
Well he said so. He told hos people to not bother voting because he had it all sorted. On top of which people who have examined the results and patterns of voting are saying " yeah, no" because those patterns just do not happen.
I’d love to believe that it was rigged rather than that the majority of American voters are bigots and morons… but frankly the evidence is much more convincing that the latter is true.
Unfortunately, throwing the top bum out wouldn't be enough. We'd also have to throw out bum#2 (VP), bum#3 (House Speaker), plus a whole gaggle of unelected hangers-on bums (Elon, Vivek, ????).
The rot goes way down. The imaginary "deep state" MAGA was conditioned to fear has now come to exist.
I am really thinking nothing will work without violence and I am not the violent type normally. But you are right the rot is deep in the GOP and with several dems
I'd rather go the Mahatma Ghandi route. If things turn violent, even if MOST soldiers refuse to fire weapons against American citizens, Trump would still have enormous fire-power advantages. I honestly don't think we can win a violent confrontation.
I respectfully disagree. We have more guns than the military does. Less than 1% serves in the military. It’s our Constitutional right to remove a tyrannical government. That’s literally what 2A is.
It's not the individual gun owners I'd be worried about... for ALL their bluster.
Much more concerned about the capability for violence that is inherent in having INITIAL control of organized forces: police, national guards, and military. Plus all their armament.
Yeah, it’s time… as soon as it’s warmer. 😂🤔🤠 no its time now… Also interested to find out if Musk had anything to do with the voting machines in Pennsylvania.
Um….maybe let’s not do that. There are ways to push back, to fight for rights, protest, strikes, boycotts, etc. but let’s not incite violence. That makes us no better and no different.
Sadly the World has witnessed that Americans don’t have the appetite to come together and fight for their rights and future! It’s unbelievable, their country is blowing up and they’re just arm chair critics!
Let's sing and have flags, but promise me we leave the children at home with GOOD BABYSITTERS! I will NOT have a Gavroche scene in this revolution! Got it? Okay? Thank goodness we can use they never outlawed ARs; right?
I can't put what I am feeling into words, because that level of violence would get me banned from social media and arrested.
I fear marching won't be enough.
I fear that the only way to end Trump's reign of terror is violence.
I predict there will be noticeable nationwide violence by this summer, but I doubt it will be directed at the people who are imposing their own violence on us. First hit will be the perceived enemies, but after a while MAYBE the MAGAts will pull their heads out. But I kind of doubt it...
Well, unless the numbers are absolutely massive it’s probably gonna come down to blue State versus red state yes I agree there’s going to be violence. I can’t see blue state excepting what he’s about to give them. You can push people too far.
It was clearly fraud, given the size of his crowds, the lack of interest in his inauguration. Nefarious starling virus. It certainly would’ve been helped if the Dems had at least said something, anything about it but no, they had to play the highroad like we were all gonna give them an award for it
That really annoys me there are some really strong dems, blame voter apathy 36% didn't vote. Kamala had less than two month to introduce herself and lost by a bit more than one percentage. Blame stupid Americans and Magats!
I agree. There absolutely was fraud involved. There comes a time when taking the high road is not a good idea, and I think we have passed that point. Taking the high road will not stop the corruption.
the same types of people made in Germany with Hitler. Hitler did not win a majority, and his opposition was fractured. That is us. Because of "moderates," the Right + them outnumbered us. Same with NAZI Germany. You know the rest of the history.
Then there are all the Independents and other "moderates" who think they are so above a fray and think anyone not like them is fringe, thus equating good, anti-Right people as the same as the Right. It has been a massive mistake by "moderates" and "independents," and it is the mistake
Yup. Not even Michelle Obama is asking us to go high anymore. We tried. It will take not being nice. And for many Americans, no longer being civically lazy. For too long, people say to me "I hate history" and "I don't have time for politics."
I'm all for a march on Washington, but it's not gonna throw him out. With the assault on due process we're seeing, it's gonna become the job of Congress to do Articles of Impeachment. In that sense a march on Washington will help them see our outrage.
Marches and petitions really do not work… I wish they did. Probably going to not be congress either since they, on both sides have cowered to the orange fuck’s regime. Sorry I am negative but tell me one time in the last 10 years marching made any difference
I hear that! And I try to beat back knowing America is 250 years old in human history that lasts tens of thousands of years. No guarantee for us, especially with emerging technology. Doesn't mean I'm not swinging...if only for my daughters.
Oh and I believe that Jan 6th style may happen again sooner than we think and I hope AOC and other Dems that are trying to resist thanks the reigns when all hell breaks loose
Yes— assuming the orange fuck and musk allow further “fair” elections. Their boss has had “fair” elections until he decided to permanently stay as president of Russia.
I am very worried about this regime— the safety nets have too big of holes.
I have boycotted most gop donors big tech folks etc.
This is a large territory. DC is far away for most of us. I don't like violence and abhor guns. Unions could get their act together and organize rolling strikes through different industries. Demand answers and complain to your state and federal reps and senators. They need to know we are watching.
Most Americans are not angry enough or even paying attention. By the time we collectively realize what has happened, the White House will be a fortress guarded by freed Jan 6 rioters and their supporters.
It would be a terrible thing if several hundred thousand people breached the Whitehouse security, grabbed Trump, shaved his head, tarred and feathered him, and ran him out of town on a rail, along with several of his cohorts.
In a capitalist pig society all u have to do to protest is to stop the flow of capital. No violence, no burning, no marching, etc.
*Stop paying all bills, loans, mortgages, cc etc.
*Stop buying things.
*Stop traveling.
*Take all ur monies out of every financial product, stocks, 401ks, etc.
* SEO
It will happen, hopefully sooner, rather than later. Unlike Frankenstein’s monster, the GOP’s monster has no social redeeming qualities. is detestable, unliked around the world. He also smells of burgers and stale fries from McDs, it that isn’t enough to turn your stomach nothing will.
Marches are useless, and this time there’s no Milley to stop them from shooting us in the legs. We need a General Strike. No work, no buying, no RW TV or radio. Keep it going until he’s ousted.
Wait until it warms up...actually, I expected that in 2016, so don't be disappointed if it doesn't happen...Besides, look who will replace him - Vance and then Mike Johnson. It's true that they don't have as much hatred in their hearts, but can still do damage.
Remember, the Proud Boyz and even the military has been set to quell all protests, violently if need be. (I thought about this last night, all night long.) Our ability to peacefully protest is being stripped away.
Stay home. Don't go to school, don't go to work. Call in and say "sick" but don't go to doctor, don't go grocery shopping. Don't order anything via internet. Just literally STAY HOME, indoors, for 24 hours.
I also thought it would be great if nobody paid their income tax. Like, I'm a retired teacher, living on a low income while these village idiots don't pay any tax on their billions? Another thing that keeps me awake.
Absolutely, violence and hatred is their norm. He has the backing of all white supremacy organizations, law and military as well. It would be a blood bath.
I did my marching for abortion rights when I was in my teens. I went to the Women's March before the first Trump administration. I'm just getting too old to march now, but I'll be in your cheering section.
This is potentially a HUGE tool. Big boycott campaigns can really make an impact. But we need momentum and enough people to join in. Not seeing how we get that organized…
There are 390+ million privately owned firearms in the US. You could if you wanted to, but the two sides can't stop fighting long enough to figure out a damn plan.
Marching on Washington is not going to do it. Dedicated and continual organizing at every precinct, registering voters, and getting out the vote for the mid-terms will. Take the house and senate at the mid terms, then impeach, convict and jail Trump is the only way forward.
They will not whoever writes that is completely delusional. It’s like oh they cheated and stole it this time and it’s gonna be much better next time after two years longer to more deeply in bed fraud.
...and marching will? Please identify the results of the last "Million Woman March", on Washington. What, precisely, did that accomplish - other than a momentary feel-good for its participants?
These administration is counting in Americans staying at home, doing quiet protests and hopefully they can do whatever they want. The first term had already done irrevocable damage that our generation will feel in decades. 45 is not supposed to be on the ballot.
Active participation, vigils, and camp protest throught the country. Keep it bigger, more consistent and longer together with organized boycotts. These will not be broadcasted as often but people will come. Americans need to stand on business because no one is saving us
Absolutely right. We have to do the work. I think T’s actions will cause enough pain to create a big pushback in 2026. By then the price of eggs will be $10 a dozen and gas will cost more than your car.
Best do it quickly before that bum declares martial law and has the military out there shooting into any massive protests. The bum has made it clear that this is something he’s wanted to do for years. In fact, almost every MAGAt I know dreams & talks ALOT about shooting people. Dangerous & violent.
WE THE PEOPLE have the right to demand the government be replaced! It is protected by the 1st Amendment!
Use the Declaration of Independence & the Constitution to get them to do their job!
It gives Americans the right to request a new government! Our current government has become destructive
I think we’ll get to the point when something like nation-wide strikes will happen. Marches don’t have the same impact anymore but hitting them in the wallet will.
Luigi is basically the 21st century's Leon Cgolgosz. "Czolgosz believed there was a great injustice in American society, an inequality which allowed the wealthy to enrich themselves by exploiting the poor"
Marches are meant to lead to revolutionary acts, they are not in fact the acts themselves. A March to pull him into the street and throw stones in the biblical sense would be a true act of revolution to be sure.
As many of us noticed when the extreme court threw out Row & invented BS imperial immunity for Tyrant Trump (TT), organizing a march on Washington is apparently a hidden method that none of us understand how to implement.
Whatever plans are made should not be on an open forum. You"re probably just mentioning it to converse. I'm sure we have people lurking to see if they can see anything. They'll report it.
Don't put it past those petty, small minded people.
Actually, the person that hijacked your country was chief justice Roberts. Trump can order the military to shoot and kill the LGBTQ tomorrow and he will be immune from prosecution. The Supreme Court actually worded his immunity the same way Germany did to make with Hitler did legal.
After the nazi salute, I was wondering what it would take for average Americans to begin to peacefully protest, strike, something! It feels like we, by doing nothing, are doing exactly what they want us to do. Silence is acceptance.
Watching your country implode from Canada, we are astounded that you have allowed this shit to continue. Now you threaten our country. 🇨🇦 Fuck off and fix your broken country. Grow a backbone. Unbelievable. If you need to learn how to do it, look to South Korea for their example. 🤦🏼♀️
I guess it was easy for you to use language and judge us all from behind a social platform when you have truly no idea what it’s really like for us here who HAVE been trying for years? You “assume” none of us have a backbone? Thanks I thought this was a safe place & why we are here.
How do you know how I feel in Canada watching your president threaten me and my fellow citizens? You have no idea how we feel in our country to be maligned by yours. Your focus on my language and not the message makes me sad for you. Best of luck to you and your country.
You are taking your anger out on all of us and not creating a safe place for us here and that is counter productive. That makes me sad for EVERYONE. That’s EXACTLY what the orange monster wants is
people turning on each other. Don’t let him do it & please do not assume we are spineless
I hope our fuck up helps inspire Canada to switch direction. Pierre Poilievre would bring the worst aspects of America to Canada. You've got 9 months to change the direction that your election seems to be heading.
Yeah, you’re definitely a lesson for us. Only we have our rights enshrined and we don’t have the guns that you do so there’s that. We also don’t have gangs plain clothes, uniform agents raiding places to deport people. Have a nice day.
This. He let those Jan 6 scum out to do what they have always done, infiltrate peaceful protests, start violence, and then Trump will declare martial law and Republican voters will let him.
That sounds dangerously close to an insurrection. But if I'm being honest, I've wondered if that's what it's finally gonna take to be rid of him and save the country.
Agreed!! But it already seems a boondoggle because he will trot out the “ let’s kill protesters idiocy” no matter how non violent it becomes. Just the look of it will piss him off (which I would love to do) but not at the expense of innocent lives. And don’t tell me I’m overreacting!
There was the People’s March the Saturday before MLKJr day - crowds right outside the Capitol and marches across the U.S. that day… those were peaceful marches, though.
IF they are actually able to stop the elections, that’s a completely different story. Then other measures - like a mass workers strike - will need to be taken. But I have my doubts that they will be able to. MAGA would love for us to overreact. Perfect excuse for a crackdown.
I guess we just sit here and accept a dictatorship for the next two years in the hopes that Trump decides to give us a shot to overthrow him. Wouldn’t want to overreact to loss of democracy.
Oh goodness, I’m afraid the play nice and do things by the rules days are over. This is a nice idea but it won’t work. We can hope for it, but it’s going to require ACTION. It doesn’t need to be violent but it has to be more than your vote this time
Oh, we need to go back to Howard Dean’s 50 state solution. Stop ignoring the red states. Also, Biden actually had a respectable record to run on, but Dems treated it like it was an embarrassment. Now Trump will try to take credit for it. I’m in complete agreement that changes need to be made.
I agree! I’m in a blue state. If a dem is running we are basically ignored and taken for granted. That said our state is becoming more and more purple. When people’s concerns are ignored they shift their attention elsewhere. Everyone wants to be heard.
Halting our spending and consumerism (except of course for necessary needs like food and shelter) might have impact. But I cannot see folks risking their jobs by staying home from work.
I think we need smarter, sneakier means of protest than that. He’s just itching to bring out the military against mass protests. How can we throw sand in the gears? A national work strike would be an idea.
Not just work. That's the starting point. You also stop buying anything but the absolute basics, cancel all your subscriptions, stop travelling, everything. All economic activity stops. Everyone needs to support everyone else. Question is, will enough people do it for long enough to have an effect?
We’d have to have significant number of MAGAts to join us for it to work. I think I will take a year or more for him to piss off his faithful cult members.
Our complacency has allowed the 4th Reich to rise. And unless we RISE RESIST AND REVOLT NOW our country WILL follow the same disastrous trajectory of the 3rd Reich
This NEEEEEEDS to happen and happen NOW! All healthcare, government, women, POC, free press, the list could go on and on. Strike as long as it takes and buy NOTHING from Amazon, delete all Meta accounts!
Consider that most Americans can’t take a day off. Going to DC is problematic. Organize. Take it to every city every state. The Constitution provides for us to protest against the government. To petition the government.
There was a People's March all over the country last weekend that barely got any news prior to it happening. We could have really made a huge difference there if more people showed up.
No doesn’t work that’s the reality rich dems in this country need 2 step up & buy weapons etc 4 the 1s who can’t afford 2 this isn’t a joke anymore Nazis R systematically taking this country over we fight or rot in it rich dems can absolutely b the heroes & save the country 2 let’s fing go people
I agree with you and am wondering why we aren't acting with the same swiftness as we did with the death of Floyd. We face more Floyds here, so weird we are not standing up the same and more. Tired? Disenchanted? Realizing that some fellow Americans aren't worth it? IDK why we are so quiet.

That was weak of them.
We will be one of the weakest countries in the worlld.

Trump isn't our enemy, he is a tool. The enemy are those who own 90% of everything, and those stupid enough to follow their manipulation.
Right!🫣
His own personal militia w patriot front, proud boys, q, + the 1500 pardoned who now "owe" him.
We shouldn't have let it get this far. Now I fear its too late.
A march to oust him now would be met with overwhelming violent force and probably accelerate his crackdown on “the enemy within”
The rot goes way down. The imaginary "deep state" MAGA was conditioned to fear has now come to exist.
Much more concerned about the capability for violence that is inherent in having INITIAL control of organized forces: police, national guards, and military. Plus all their armament.
Mark my words.
I fear marching won't be enough.
I fear that the only way to end Trump's reign of terror is violence.
Ya know...third times the charm!
Marches worked during the Civil Rights Movement. Not really since then...no.
What works is money and the threat of losing elections.
I am very worried about this regime— the safety nets have too big of holes.
I have boycotted most gop donors big tech folks etc.
Just tell me when and where.
They want violence. Let them throw the first punch...
Definitely don't do that thing.

We need to strike. Huge strike. Very soon.

It'd be hard to violently quell that.
lardass would love for people to march in DC. He'd trigger violence so he could declare martial law.
Use the Declaration of Independence & the Constitution to get them to do their job!

If we get out of this, it will be later and with a body count

I do appreciate that every assassination attempt involved disgruntled gop voters on his own side.
Wasn’t he prosecuting war criminals before garland brought him here?
We used to take shifts in the old days waiting in line for concert tickets. Maybe we need a national sign-up form for protests for the next 4 years.
