Ok well, both of those things have gone decades backwards since 1/20/25. At no time since 1/20/17 has any protest changed the trajectory of trump’s policies. I truly get that people feel they need to do something, but protesting doesn’t work for dictators, unfortunately.
I’m not talking about progress in the last decade. I’m talking bigger picture. Look at history. The power of the people can be very influential.
Realistically, the protests in the 60s were about stopping a war, or civil rights, not about removing a dictator. There has never been a time in history where a protest removed a dictator that had the full backing of his government. Further, the majority of people in the US right now are…
…living paycheck to paycheck. No way they could afford to miss the months of work to protest, even if it worked. Times are different now. There have been huge protests already and trump is more emboldened than ever. People really need to wake up to how dire this is. Voting, nor protesting, nor…
…boycotting are going to stop this.
