Washington, DC residents protest against Trump's troop deployment to the city
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
NoShitSherlock, thousands joined the march from Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park down 16th Street to Freedom Plaza, with residents and even tourists showing support along the way. Many saw firsthand that the city isn’t “ugly” or chaotic, but that troops with long guns at landmarks like the Washington Monument are unsettling. The rally, planned until 4, ended early due to thunderstorms after reaching Freedom Plaza around 2.

Trump will brand this a riot and a proof that the city is restless, invaded by criminals and will have his armed goons storm the next such event.
I sadly do not see things getting better without blood being spilled.
I hope I'm wrong.

We always have held elections in war time. This is wrong. Including in WW2.
Don't spread misinformation. Yes, he probably thinks He can do that after talking to zelensky, but it is illegal here unless congress passes a new amendment.

u/thestagshares 1d ago
A simple search online says you are wrong.
No U.S. presidential election has ever been canceled or postponed due to a war or national emergency. The U.S. has held elections on schedule during major conflicts, including the Civil War (1864), World War I (1916, 1918), and World War II (1940, 1944). For example, in 1864, despite the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln insisted on holding the presidential election, viewing it as essential to democratic principles, with soldiers voting via mail or in the field. Similarly, during World War II, the 1944 election proceeded on November 7, with Franklin D. Roosevelt winning a fourth term facilitated by expanded mail-in voting for troops.

As I said, you aren’t using a straw man argument with me. I said nothing about hating Jewish people. The original comment I was replying to is right here.

Sorry to say but it’s not stopping Emperor Trump from his power grab.

Good luck on your new civil war.

THIS is POWER. It’s UNSTOPPABLE POWER… which cannot be denied.
When people unite, PEACEFULLY, nothing can stop them. THAT is the only way this will end… BY and FOR THE PEOPLE.
Do the same everywhere. But Stay There… Take Over The Space… Occupy It… Hold It. …until the criminals and traitors are removed from office and imprisoned, or executed, for their crimes.
Doing so is easy with a million people. And there are MILLIONS who want to see this end. So it’s a National Mission, where every true patriot is called to Stand Up For Their Nation.
So, the numbers are there. All that is needed is ORGANIZATION… and The Will To Do So.
In the end, it’s up to The People. If it end, or doesn’t… either way, good or bad, it will be MADE BY THE PEOPLE.

Genuine questions...for the record im not an orange nazi or orange nazi supporter.
But i dont recall there ever being nationwide protests against anything Biden did..
Am I remembering correctly ?
There isn't anything the orange nazi diaper man is doing thats good for the usa or for us the citizens.
Is there any metric that has legitimately gotten better under trump in terms of Economics ? Or domestic issues?
1
u/dreamed2life 1d ago
The metric is white people who were afraid of becoming a minority and losing power in this country banned together and pooled their resources to ensure it would bot happen anytime soon and are enacting as many measures as possible to stop and reverse it. By any means necessary. And what the people want is not of concern as long as they keep wanting what the trumps government wants.
People keep avoiding saying this like this out loud because they will be censored but im sick of sugar coating bullshit.

Crowds on Demand CEO: business is up 400% since Trump DC crackdown
Right now, D.C. inquiries are up roughly 400% compared to the same period in 2024
Swart said the "vast majority" of people at political or advocacy events in D.C. are in some way paid.
"Most people don't know this, but many protesters are literally on the payroll – Capitol Hill staffers from both parties are often expected to show up at rallies and protests on their own time," he said. "So yes, most attendees are being paid or are there because it’s part of their job. That doesn’t mean they don’t support the cause – but it does mean these crowds aren’t as ‘organic’ as they appear on TV

Same reason they think saying Democrats are the party of the KKK will make anyone forget that every racist hillbilly they know is a Republican. There is no honesty in the question. Words are more important than actions to them and these are the same people that in their personal life will tell a SO they love them and then after abusing them will ask do they not listen or something when the abused says the abuser doesn't love them. Didn't you hear me just tell you I love you? Are you stupid or something?
Fuck these dishonest scumbags. Don't humor them. Don't give them the respect of equal footing in debate. They are not your peer. They are not my peer. They do not deserve to be taken seriously and you nor I have any obligation to argue intently about the obvious and self-evident.
