Mass Protests Across the Country Show Resistance to Trump

I can think of plenty of things that aren’t violence in the streets.

Destruction of property can be achieved without putting human lives at risk given that the actors are halfway intelligent. Large scale cyberattacks can be carried out without physical violence. Organized efforts to catfish and publicly expose pedophiles (because let’s be real, the vast majority of them are alt-right trash) and hey, while you’re at it, even if they aren’t into kids, get receipts on unfaithful MAGA spouses and expose them to their families and religious groups. Industrial or corporate sabotage is an option. Business owners could choose to deny service to known alt-right sympathizers, MAGA supporters could see their employment terminated (political affiliation is not a protected class in most places, as far as I know).

When your entire law enforcement apparatus prioritizes property above people, all of those things become absolutely legitimate forms of protest. If these tactics are currently unacceptable to you, please tell us where the “line” is, beyond which they become morally justified. If your position is they these things are NEVER acceptable, then I don’t really have anything to say to you apart from “good luck.”

We’ve been told our entire lives that all the educated, intelligent people are on the left and the right is full of knuckle-draggers- well, great. Prove it. Stop being outsmarted by idiots.

Because you’ve spent 40 years allowing your news media to be complicit.

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.

Reps need to be taking part in the protests. Preferably Korean-style.

I’m not saying it’s pointless to own a fire extinguisher. I’m saying that the time to use it was when your kitchen cabinet caught fire- currently your entire house is burning down and while your fire extinguisher is very nice and cute, there are other things you should probably be doing. Also (not directed at you, but others in this thread) these things don’t include getting defensive toward the people next door who are pointing it out.

Oh, don’t worry- we’re all aware it’s coming to our country. And we’re armed.

I love how every time Americans are challenged on their lack of urgency, the response is always to pull a tu quoque, though. Never fails.

You know what is fodder for Trump and his ilk? Impotent “peaceful protests” that move the needle not one inch. By repeatedly ignoring and disregarding, the chuds can further assert and display their supremacy.
