  And you’re suggesting that because that has worked before? For a population that’s largely living paycheck to paycheck? The thing about fascism creeping in is that you still need to go to work every day and do your little tasks so you can survive.

  I’ve looked at several sites and they all focus on one thing: building a coalition. You only get that by demonstrating it openly and getting people on your side. Because despite what you believe, the protests aren’t all for the fascists, but for the other people who haven’t gotten on board yet. And you need a catalyst, with defiance and force. You do things, not stand around and wait for it to be over.

  grow up bud, I’m not here to gheer you up.

  Oh no, you’re actively “gheering” people down and what’s my whole beef with these damn comments.

    I see, so you want an effortless, risk free, guaranteed to work way to recover the democracy you threw out the window through years of apathy and “fuck you, got mine” attitude?

      Effortless? Lol! What part of being politically active on top of doing work do you find effortless? Have you ever done it, even? Because I’m sure you’ll be the one providing food, right? Or are you speaking out your butt from the comfort of your privilege?

      And also curious that you think people will all organize to do nothing by doing nothing. Yeah, being demonized as lazy is going to work wonders. Like, what part of getting people on your side does not register?

      Also, idk to what kind of monolithic American you’re speaking to from that high horse, but it’s quite obvious you’ve never lived in the States if that’s what you think Americans are like. Basing your shitty opinions on pure stereotypes. For shame.
