HitlerPig is obsessed by ratings, polls, popularity, etc., so seeing these kinds of crowds demonstrating against him, when his own birthday party, in only one city, had empty seats, has got to be making him crazy.

I'll give $100 to the first journalist who asks, on camera in a White House press conference "Mr. President, what do you think of all the enormous demonstrations against you, when nobody came to your birthday party?"

I just want to see him cry.

Kinda makes you wonder how he was elected in the first place.

Maybe I do love this country.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 26 points 23 hours ago

This is giving me an ounce of hope, y’all. From across the pond, keep this up and vote common sense

[–] theotherbelow@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 20 hours ago

Feels good man.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 59 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was at my local protest. I'd guess there were around 3,000-5,000 people and it was literally just a bunch of hippies chanting. The protest was so lawful that people were even obeying walk signals at the intersection where it occurred.

Our governor had a state of emergency in place for this.

So peaceful that when the permit said 1pm, people started walking back to where they were supposed to go. The only scuffle was caused by a raised-truck tRump supporter and they were booed to all hell before driving away like the coward they are.

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago

The fact that you need a permit is already a violation of the right of assembly IMHO.

At the San Diego airport watching this trying not to tear up in public

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I'm very much out of the loop. Can someone give me a tl;dr of what this is? How it got started, its goals, etc. I heard nothing about this until today.

[–] greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 18 hours ago

USA is a country without kings, we don't want any.

We're protesting trump, but also his stupid military parade. We're trying to reclaim what it means to be an American.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago

This is a planned mass protest in the United States against the trump administration and his policies specifically concerning his stance on immigration.

Honestly this is somewhat of a milestone for my country. I've never seen anything like this.

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've been giving you yanks some grief about not doing anything about the treasonous tangerine but I've got to say watching that video was quite heartening. Keep it up everyone!!

[–] regedit@feddit.online 12 points 22 hours ago

And those were just the biggest cities with the biggest turnout. There were A LOT of large turnouts in even remote or usually smaller communities. It was extremely neat to be a part of and I look forward to the next one. I'll be bringing anyone who wants to join me the next time!

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 2 points 17 hours ago

Whenever a countrywide event happens in the US, Phoenix is always excluded, despite being the 5th largest city in the country. I'm disappointed in them, but the again it's probably difficult to protest when it's 45°C/113°F outside.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

So fucking rad man. Hard to believe with that many people that he won the election...

[–] anistorian@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t think he did. It seems fishy.

[–] underline960@sh.itjust.works 1 points 46 minutes ago

Gerrymandering and the electoral college do a lot of heavy lifting

[–] potoo22@programming.dev 121 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Kinda wish people were this angry before the election. Please remember to vote in the midterms so we can at least drop the Republican majorities in congress. They're rushing all this crazy shit first, hoping we forget everything by 2026 and 2028. It's not like we didn't have 4 years of this asshole, then after a 4-year break and it's like people from 2020 forgot to vote in 2024. Voter turnout dropped.

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (5 children)

If you think the midterms are going to be democratic in nature, you've still got another 17 months of Trump's current bullshit to consider.

By the time he's done, those elections are going to be about as "fair and balanced" as a Fox News broadcast.

They were angry. At Democrats. (And rightfully so.)

And I have no faith the Democrats will do anything meaningful when they get Congress back in 2026. (And they will.) They just kicked David Hogg out of the DNC and they're doing everything they can to silence their most effective voices, who just happen to be filling football stadiums in red states across the country.

[–] sudoer777@lemmy.ml 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

NYC Democrats are already introducing legislation targeting the protestors

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

I've seen a few NY State Democratic congresspeople on podcasts calling the protesters 'rioters', which incenses me. 99.9% of them are hippies just holding up signs and chanting, and these fucking Democrats know it.

[–] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Good job, USA...

When I think about protest in the USA, it's usually a single person at the side of the road holding up some text written on paper....

But this.... This is awesome.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] fishy@lemmy.today 11 points 1 day ago

Absolutely. It shows just how many people are awake and ready to do something. If that many people participated in a general strike the country would buckle to demands real fast.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 66 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Far more impressive than the military parade.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 1 day ago

My backyard barbeque had a bigger crowd than that parade

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 9 points 1 day ago

I love the time lapse. They should do one every time there's a March.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Good, now you know how big the support is it's time to turn it into action. I don't mean violence, but turning up on a summer's day to go for a walk and hear some people speak is not enough.

I'm not going to tell you what to do next (it's not my country) but one day is easily ignored. I know from other fights around the world that these things need persistence and sacrifice.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The thing is, part of the idea of this particular summer day was to distract from the Trump parade.

But then, just one fascist extremist with a gun posing as a cop was able to distract from the efforts of 5 million protestors.

[–] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 1 points 17 hours ago

11 million apparently

[–] underwire212@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Small steps, friend. Progress is progress.

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

The republican traitor filth must be held to account.

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'm more surprised at how heavily everyone in Boise and Dallas showed up.

[–] sudoer777@lemmy.ml 3 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I was on public transit in Dallas and it was the most packed I have ever seen it
