“We the people” voted for it! There was no big reveal after the election; it was well known that Project 2025 was the goal. Anyone who says otherwise had their head in the sand for the last 6 months.
Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A lot of Trump voters are horribly uninformed. They didn’t know - and still don’t know - what Project 2025 is. They thought it was fearmongering because they only heard about it from Dems. They have no idea what’s happening right now, nor do they care. All they know is their team won, and they’re otherwise tuned out. Maybe they’ll wake up when they feel the effects, but they’ll probably just blame Democrats because Fox News tells them to.

Those were willfully ignorant and they will remain so until they hurt bad or die, no amoubt of information will change that
RaoulDook@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Nope only 23% of Americans voted for the nazis. 77% of Americans either didn’t vote, voted for Harris (or others), or were ineligible to vote.

If you accept facists without objection, you aren’t much better than the racists.

Most maga voters had their head in the sand, they have always had their head in the sand, it’s the only way for them to live. Ignore reality, pretend that your make belief world where racism is fine, jeebus can take the wheel, miracles exist, and trump is the new jeebus
frezik@midwest.social 1 year ago
The majority of “We the people” voted for something else. Don’t let Trump have the narrative that this is what the American people asked for.

This is great. I was reactive because I couldn’t see anything anywhere about it. Anyway, let’s hope this happens.

Why “50501”? What’s that mean?
Furbag@lemmy.world 1 year ago
50 protests
50 states
1 day
Thus 50501

Why is your entire comment history deleted?
vonbaronhans@midwest.social 1 year ago
I think the care for being not identified and covering one’s tracks provided in the above comment is a pretty obvious indicator for why their comment history is scrubbed lol.
y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Great advice except I’m confused about how to “stream everything” if we’re supposed to leave our phones at home.
RamenJunkie@midwest.social 1 year ago
Yeah, this whole thing is very poorly done and really screams like annexcuse toncreate andalse flag moment. I saw a Reddit comment that this exact thing was listed in the Project2025 playbook as part of an excuse to create a scene and enact martial law.
Katana314@lemmy.world 1 year ago
One thing I’d recommend that I’m unsure how to easily obtain, is getting the phone number of a civil rights lawyer ready. It does kind of contradict the point about not bringing phones, I suppose. At the very least, if one is available in the vicinity after attempted arrests it can be useful.
I also feel somewhat guilty, as I will be attending in a very blue state that’s unlikely to have so much resistance, so I may skirt some of those rules myself.
mm_maybe@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I’d say that violent incursion into blue states with the help of federal forces and local brownshirt provocateurs is almost a goal of Project 2025 and MAGA more broadly so I wouldn’t count on it not happening wherever you are. We’ve seen plenty of that kind of thing on the West Coast particularly. Local police unfortunately have a large membership overlap with said brownshirts.
Clbull@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And based on the deal Trump is doing with Bukele, there’s a chance you could end up getting thrown into an El Salvadorian prison and locked up with MS-13 gangbangers.

As a Brit looking in, America is a mess
Eagle0110@lemmy.world 1 year ago
a mess
Is that supposed to be a British way of spelling “disaster”?
boonhet@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’d like to also tell you about the time an English brigadier responded “pretty sticky down here” when asked about the situation - ~600 Brits were surrounded by ~10k Chinese. Of course, the American General who had asked him didn’t think twice of it, but apparently when a brit says “a bit sticky” it means “we’re all about to die”, not “oh it’s not too bad”. About 40 survived.

So happy for Americans to get to re-enact Tianamen Square 2, (except without the scholars and students of course, you’re Americans)
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 year ago
if it’s not the start of a general strike idgaf. a single day of protests works about as well as blacking out a subreddit.
Katana314@lemmy.world 1 year ago
General strikes take a pretty large mass. To build that, a very important step is making sure more people are aware of how many are committed to resistance.
It’s like being invited to a party, and the host says “Well, you’re one of the first ten people I’ve invited, but I’m encouraging others to share-” and you just reply “Nope, I’m not going unless there’s already a million people going.” Of course, in this case, the protest has been shared outside of just Lemmy, so don’t use local numbers as an indicator.
frezik@midwest.social 1 year ago
Right; what do people expect, here? A “general strike” that someone calls at random won’t do much more than a few extra people calling in sick. It takes time to build solidarity to agree that we’re all going to do this. If we had that kind of solidarity, I don’t think we’d be in this position in the first place.
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s my take as well.
Unless this goes on with some critical infrastructure impacted for at least a few weeks, it’s utterly pointless.
SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Everyone just call in sick. Say it is because you didn’t want any vaccines.
SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I feel like the issue is with our fellow citizens who voted for him and the congressmen/woman. You can protest all you want but they’ll keep getting elected.
CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
If you can disrupt businesses enough then the oligarchs holding Trump’s leash will start telling him to behave.
SamboT@lemmy.world 1 year ago
How the fuck can you fuck up a protest plan this badly??? Is this intentional sabotage for an effective turn out? Fucking idiots.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 year ago
plan it on a wednesday in the middle of the day so everyone can say “ah, i’m busy” and feel satisfied for doing jack shit

I think it’s gonna be one of those things that’s supposed to be a thing, but isn’t a thing.
But I’m not going to shit all over someone’s attempt to make a difference if it’s based on genuine good effort and intention.
BmeBenji@lemm.ee 1 year ago
What is the objective here? Are we asking for something specific or just yelling in frustration into the void?
intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 year ago
You’re leftists. You’re just expressing your rage glands.
SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As with most protests by the left it will be 10,000 people with 10,000 different priorities.
A_A@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Please read my post’s header : just updated it with relevant source.
BmeBenji@lemm.ee 1 year ago
The subreddit has no stickied post nor does the sidebar describe the protest. I don’t see any description of what the objective is anywhere. I’d love to participate and try to accomplish something but what is it that we’re trying to accomplish other than making noise?

Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 year ago
From what I can see about it, the organisers are some reddit mods. The person who started it was reddit.com/u/Evolved_Fungi. The subreddit is r/50501 and their bluesky is bsky.app/profile/50501movement.bsky.social.
A lot of people don’t know about it, its gotten almost no attention from the media, that I have noticed. All I have found is one newsweek article newsweek.com/50-states-anti-trump-protest-nationw…
A_A@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Finally, there is real article in mainstream media that can be used to create a post in one of the main news communities.
Would you care to create it ?
N.B. it can’t be in /c/WorldNews because they do not accept news from the USA.Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Posted it, !news@lemmy.world. They said the same things in their discord about it when I shared it, funnily enough.
hoch@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Sadly, I don’t see this accomplishing shit.
SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 1 year ago

jj4211@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Making noise about a relatively sudden midday midweek protest effort overall may lead to underwhelming optics. After all the noise and outage, this is all that shows up? Clearly people agent all that engaged…
A_A@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The situation is dire, yes. And maybe those 50 protests will not do much. Yet, yesterday there were many manifestations against deportations throughout the USA. Eventually, the sum of all oppositions will contribute, at the very least, to slow down the disaster.
Telodzrum@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Love a protest in the middle of the workday, should be easy for most people to attend, no?

If people aren’t willing to give up 1 hour of their corporate slavery to stop facism, then we are already doomed.
sudoer777@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
More like 2 days depending on where in the state you live
boonhet@lemm.ee 1 year ago
You had it correct at corporate SLAVERY.
Imagine you get fired over this, lose your home, stop being able to feed your family. I don’t think unemployment benefits in the US cover much, do they?
I hope most everyone who’s ABLE to protest, is also willing.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s 576 miles between El Paso and Austin. Please explain how someone is going to be able to get there within an hour with time to protest.
NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There’s a difference between “willing” and “able” 😅

hellequin67@lemm.ee 1 year ago
5th Nov 2024 - was the chance to prevent this. Trump’s team made it clear on the direction they were heading and no-one heeded the warnings. 35% didn’t vote and the majority of those that did voted for him, which either means they agree with the direction or were deluded into thinking it wasn’t going to happen.
I’m all for protest but I don’t think you have a chance of changing anything, he owns the legislature and the voting public allowed it to happend.
I’m not American or a resident of US but that’s just my opinion as an outsider.
TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 1 year ago
This will be too short notice and too expensive for many to attend. Generalstrikeus.com has the right idea
hash@slrpnk.net 1 year ago
Alright, I’m prepared to take some heat for this because in the context of the best organized protests I think my assumptions are incorrect. However most protests don’t rise to that level. Thing is if your protest looks for the most part like a party with some political alignments and isn’t related to some direct action in your community or actual expectations/demands of the relevant political body…
Not to say that “performative” protests are useless. But there seems to be a distressing number of my fellow gen Z that think these sorts of protests alone will work. Like all they need to do is yell loudly into a few news network cameras on capital hill then go home.
I’ll probably see what’s going on in my home state and hope to see some targeted action and real dialogue. I truly hope my assumptions are proven wrong.
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Don’t start protesting on a week day. Protest on the weekend to get a show of force. If demands are not met, follow it up with a general strike for your next protest.
Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 1 year ago
If people don’t go armed, I’m worried what could happen.
Landless2029@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Now I wonder if all that extra Kamala money she had leftover from donations could’ve gone to an organization to fix this American nightmare. Give us back the American dream.
The start is voting in democrats so we have a majority in DC in 2 years. The org could also help back these protests to raise awareness by making local adverts on billboards/public trans/radio.
Make it a 4 year campaign to flip America blue. Then we might be able to fix some shit.

Lennnny@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Excited to see people ready to take action, but just be careful. See the thread on this profile for more info: bsky.app/profile/ecmclaughlin.bsky.social (this user has set her account to logged in users only).
“Listen, for folks who don’t know, I was a part of a small organizing team that led to a mass mobilization in 813 cities worldwide in 2019.
I am not talking out of my ass.
You should be VERY VERY VERY careful in this environment about sharing flyers for events that identify NO organizer”
There was also a mod thread on r/albuquerque about it.
I am sure there will be BOTH legit protests and shitty people using this for nefarious reasons. I’m still on the fence about whether to drive 2 hours to my local one or not. I’ve already signed up for other things through mobilize.us anyway.
Bojack411@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Here is the kicker. The protest will be largely a white population. The push back is only as great as the white man can make it. Welcome to america. 🤣🤣🤣

This is a lot of valuable information and since my post is now old (quite dead) no one will have access to this in here.
So, it’s better if you create a new post with these informations.

Oh yeah great idea, I just posted it to !politics@lemmy.world Let’s see if it stays up.
btw this post we’re on was on the front page of “all” - “active” earlier today but it seems to have slipped way off.
