Well, to the outsiders looking in, it looks like these protests are non existent and not effective. Doesn't seem to be much stopping Trump, with the courts now siding on Trump regarding deploying the national guard. I gotta be honest with you, it looks like your democracy is on life support at the moment.
Protesting every day might be less effective without economic disruption going with it
Ideally there should be a general strike, get the workforce out in force, this administration only cares about the bottom line, once the billionaires start feeling it then maybe. Unfortunately I don't think this is possible in todays America, for various reasons including size, reliance on work for health reasons, etc etc etc.
Unfortunately, so many Americans are being held hostage by the fact they live paycheck to paycheck, and health insurance for the most part is dependent on your employers. This republican policies have been a long time in the making and seems to have worked for them.
God (s) help you all.
You guys need a sustained general strike, Trump and his billionaire backers only care about the bottom line $$. Unfortunately regardless of the size of the peaceful protests, once a month just won't cut it.
I have a friend who always used to call me a nihilist because of my attitude and to some extent that was true, lately I've been feeling more like an anarchist.
Man the 80's and 90's when I was growing up were paradise in comparison. I felt your comment hard, I am genuinely having a hard time (and getting angry) at the insanity we're living.
Those are all excellent and valid points, do you think normal thinking Americans will manage that, sustained protests followed by strike action. I completely understand the point made about the young men, the elderly and most vulnerable groups will need support. Right now all I see is some protests in some states but nothing indicates this will evolve.
I mean just look at us a species, we've developed massively on the technological level, but underneath the clothes we're still the same, fighting over imagined gods, resources etc. So yeah, fuck it, bring it on.
