Yeah well we had “No Kings” and people came together, yet nothing happened. A few million people showed up and then went home.

and then went home.

That's part of the problem.

Effective protesting isn't a "one and done" thing.

I agree. And that is why the US is done for. No one is willing to stay until we get what we want… and want is subjective.

Best to pack up and move to another country if they can.

That's practically impossible for majority of people in the USA. Even to get to Canada is a long, arduous process with lots of trips and cost associated with it if they want you.

Well, being a desirable person does help the process. If you’ll be a drain on their economy, you’re not likely to be accepted.

Which about a third of America is poor, poorly educated, and might not have marketable skills. Canada also seems more focused on bringing in healthcare professionals right now.

That’s how I’m jumping the line. 😅🏥

No Kings was an absolute fucking joke from the start and everyone there virtue signaling is part of the problem.

[–] velindora@lemmy.cafe 2 points 6 days ago

Well, I said that back then and everyone on here ripped me a new one 🤷‍♂️
