  • 'No Kings!' 8 Million Rally Against Trump in Largest Single-Day Protest in US History | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • There are also millions of people at home that are committed to the end of MAGA, but won’t go to a protest.

    What are they doing, besides complaining about it?

  • wp:Demographics of the United States

    Increase 341,784,857 (2025 official estimate)[1]

    331,449,281 (2020 census)[2]

    Density Increase 96.8/sq mi (37.4/km2)

    3% of 341 million is 10.23 million; but yeah, it seems to be growing.

  • There might be alternatives to triggering a civil war.

  • I suppose it also indicates a level of commitment.

    e.g. it's one thing to post on some internet site, another to meet people IRL at a place of interest.

  • IMO, by that time, oil prices will fall a bit (due to alternative sources, increased electric car use, more paying toll fees to Iran, and/or maybe, just maybe, more Americans cycling, walking, and using public transit), and/or many Americans will get used to the higher prices (the left because some of them like increased gas prices as a check on over-consumption, and MAGAts will not protest it, because Trump could punch a MAGAt in the face and he will say, "Thank you, Mister President. May I have another?").

  • (9 million ÷ 330 million) < 2.8%

    340 million x 3% = 10.2 million

  • and as much as I don't like to say this, like the estimates of numbers those who attended Pride parades in Toronto past, I think the 8 (wasn't it 9?) million figure is exaggerated.

    OTOH, spring equinox happened 10 days ago, and unless Trump does something good in the Middle East, I presume protests will repeat and get larger.

    (OTOH, there were protests in Minnesota in winter.)

  • Megyn Kelly list MAGA names she says ‘pushed’ Trump to go to war: ‘Those people should be held to account’

  • I suspect that a majority of those who voted for Bush (both of them), also voted for Trump; and a majority of those who voted for Trump will vote for a Republican president who will be about as stupid, pro-billionaire, anti-Freedom, and pro-war as Bush and Trump were/was/is.

  • I probably heard stuff on the radio (CBC-1) and even on Lemmy that I've taken a liking to the first time I've heard them, but have yet to search for them. But here are a few relatively recent stuff. I pretty sure I've listened to each of the first 3 at least 10x, maybe ≥20x.

    Yeah, I know, 2 young attractive barefoot women who kiss in the end and the translation, IIUC, indicates that her parents wouldn't understand their relationship, but I've taken quite a liking to the music.

    I’ve heard a U.S. person call another person aggressive as a compliment. In Canada, it’s an insult.

    agree.

    &#x200B;

    Also, there are fewer individual rights and more group rights.

    I'm more into individual rights. Here in Toronto, I wonder if a topless woman wearing a hijab could smoke a big fat spliff in front of a police station and not get hassled.

    We are not as fanatical about sports.

    How about hockey?

  • Iran's doing that already.

    Cutting off Israel will hurt the genociders even more.

    If you're American, maybe run for President in 2028 on a "No to Israel" platform; put $100 million into it. Don't scare fellow Americans with extremist stuff, but feel free to insult your rivals. Maybe insult MAGAts as dumb fucks who'd take a bullet for Trump and get nothing.

  • Maybe pay 500 musicians (generally my choice of music) x $20/hr x 3000 hours (about 1.5 person-years) (= $30 million) to write and record anything they want, but it has to be original and released into the public domain.

    Exceptions could be made for derivatives of music already in the public domain.

    Occasionally I might check on them for if they are composing, or composing and recording; and originality.

    &#x200B;

    I might pay for novelty songs such as hard rock and heavy metal on horns; Suicide's Ghost Rider but replace synths with tuba and harmonica; nonagenarian socialist to do Kid Rock's Bawitdaba; Trump and Epstein look-a-likes do Nugent's Little Miss Dangerous; etc.

  • I used to think Dali was better, then I recently read how much of a bad person he was. Now I slowly look for alternatives.
