I can’t imagine becoming an adult in this environment. Jesus, I feel for the young people having to grow up through all this nonsense.

B-b-b-but Decorum! They take the low road, we take the high! It worked so well last time!
It is starting to feel like Democratic voters are in an abusive relationship with Dem politicians. “I swear I’ll be better this time.”
I noticed Fox and friends doing a lot of this kind of shit. I think they realize that convincing people that “protester = Democrat” is a way to quickly take some of the wind out of the movement’s sails.
They clearly aren’t intending to let us get to the midterms, let alone the next presidential. They can sense the wind changing, and it isn’t in their favor.
And yet the Dem leadership just continues being dickless cowards. We need more pressure, more protesters, more boycotting, more disruption NOW.
Worth mentioning here that the title seems to have lost an important detail in getting mirrored to Lemmy:
75% have no criminal record, or 179 individuals.
Edit to say: I’d also mention that the majority of those with a criminal record are for minor, non-violent offenses such as shoplifting and trespassing. Only about 12 (!) have any violence in their criminal record whatsoever, with some of those holding mere accusations of such.
I can’t tell you how many MAGAt brains I have short circuited when I told them I hate the Dems too, maybe even more than they do.
JRE is like if the “I’m 14 and this is deep” meme grew up and became politically active.
“I need you to calmly explain to me the merits of fish, after I blatantly disrespected the entire aquarium lovers community in their own community space.”
Then when you call them out: “I thought you fish people were supposed to be loving and tolerant! Why won’t anyone tell me why fish are so great?”
They really gotta get a new playbook.
This is why it is so funny to me when a Republican says something to me about how I am in a bubble and “need to stop listening to CNN.” Had a Joe Rogan fan tell me that the other day. I couldn’t help but laugh. For some reason, they seem to think that “leftists” are all just as fanatical about the Democrats as conservatives are about the Republicans.
What was that quote about how history remembers the Germans that tried to ride out the Nazi party? The ones that only joined because they had to, that didn’t support the regime in their hearts, but passively tried to lay low the entire time?
Ah, I see. Glad no one here is tolerating his BS!
The April 5th protests, ofc! r/50501 was plastered on protest signs and shared all over the internet as the place to go for the movement. I think it has gained more than 20k subs just over the weekend. Naturally, that would lead some to here as well.
lol yup, definitely a troll. Nothing to see here, move along folks.
Ummmmm, you got proof? The protest I was at was wildly in favor of peace in Gaza, so at least a thousand other people didn’t get the memo either.
Wait, do you think the protests are in support of Israel? That’s wild. There were Palestinian flags at the protests, my guy, and one of the biggest ones for support of Palestine was in DC. There’s footage and pictures of it, man.
I have a feeling this is only going to get more common as the movement grows. Especially since now we are getting a (little) bit of MSM coverage.
Exactly lol. What authoritarians fear the most. Other than a mob of the working class, eh.
Happy news for once!
