People across the world already very well know that Trump is unpopular. That is not the problem. The problem is that you guys continue to just allow that guy to run your country.
As long as there isn't massive civil unrest in the country, it looks like from an outside perspective as if you're just letting him do whatever he wants without much resistance. Writing some insults isn't going to change that perspective.
It bears mentioning that the large scale protests you see in other parts of the world are often in places where there are strong worker protection laws.
In the US almost every single person is literally one major medical incident away from living in their car, one missed mortgage payment away from living in their car, and one missed insurance payment from not getting the medicine they literally need to survive. Most US states allow an employer to fire one of their employees without any warning or cause whatsoever, so long as the reason for the termination doesn't fit into one of several small boxes...which they would need to admit for it to be actionable, anyway.
My point being, a big part of the reason why you don't see protests like you do in say, France, is that unlike France, the people here are largely wage slaves that cannot afford to even miss work when suffering from extreme illness, let alone to take to the streets over that asshole pedophile acting like an asshole pedophile. This has been by design.
Don't mistake a population of people spending all their energy holding onto the little they have for one that supports this regime. Whether you think their action or lack of action is justifiable, you need to at least admit it's understandable.
I think it's worth noting that the US is something like 330 million spread out over a large geographic area. There are mass protests happening, and they're big, the last was millions of people. But you're not going to see it everywhere simply due to a mix of demographics and geographic distance.
By contrast, France has something like ~65 million people in a region that is the size of Texas, one of our 50 states. You could fit France spatially into the US something like 20 times. You couldn't miss their protests if you wanted to, even if it were done by less than a 10th of their population.
Tbh, it feels kinda unfair to use Texas as a comparison and describe it as "one of our 50 states", when you could fit the original 13 states inside it.
Comparing the Paris metropolitan area (almost 20% of France's population) to the Boston-Washington corridor might work slightly better (with them having a similar percentage of their nation's population, but Paris metro being several times denser).
As long as there isn’t massive civil unrest in the country
The thing to understand about liberal Americans is that they're currently doing everything in their power to prevent this, as they have been brainwashed for decades by conservative rhetoric that "only thugs riot" and couldn't seem to parse this for the racist dogwhistle it actually was.
They're making the exact same mistake the DNC made with not holding their ground during the government shutdown, because they so desperately didn't want to look like "the bad guy". When it comes to dictators, you're gonna have to riot at some point. A lesson that neo-American society will learn eventually the hard way.
Useless. It might make you feel good writing that, but it's completely useless.
As if there's a single person on earth that doesn't either hate him or love him. Who still doesn't know that and needs to read it on a dollar bill to get the news? Seriously....
Americunts and their resistance 🤡
There are two ways to remove Trump from office. Vote. Gun. I support both.
Who reads their money?
Cashiers or anyone who regularly deals with cash.
Those people aren't the people that need to be reminded.
Trump supporters deal in cash a lot from my experience. They don't trust banks and tend to use cash more often on trades and bartering to avoid taxes. Go to a flea market for example, it's all cash and like 80% MAGA.
First of all, no they don't. There is a very small minority of MAGAs that are real preppers. (I actually have some respect for those people.)
The rest are just soulless suburban pawns that hide their racism in faux-Christianity or faux-libertarianism. The cat majority of them are up to their eyes in debt.
"Money trades hands all over the world"? I haven't handled a physical piece of American currency (apart from the occasional coin that gets mixed into my change) in years. Sure, go ahead and do this, but don't assume that anyone outside your borders give a shit what you write on your bills.
Also, maybe don't make "show the rest of the world that we hate Trump" the primary goal of your resistance movement. Ugh.
Fun fact: US $100 bills are used in crime around the world because it's a strong currency and a million dollars fits in a backpack!
This is a bit of american movie fiction, allot of American media is made for American audiences and they know how much $1million is but not €1million or ¥1million.
There are countries where people prefer to get dollars Yes, they are usually on the poorer side or heavy tourist locations.
But a lot of criminal enterprises prefer cash to be easy to launder/spend locally, it is sort of inconvenient to have to exchange your money before you can use it. It would be kind of obvious that you are criminal if you try and buy a house/car in dollars.
The backpack point is very odd no? Other countries have 100 bills and some have higher denominations.
The second reason is bogus, the euro is valued as high or higher and we have 500€ bills.
As a protest I prefer to just take any money with that pervert's signature on it back to the bank and ask for clean money. Or, if that's made impossible, just stop using cash all together.
A quick internet search reveals:
Whoever […] defaces, disfigures, […], or does any other thing to any bank […] note […] with intent to render such […] unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
So personally I wouldn’t bet on this not being illegal. On the other hand, freedom of opinion might save your butt. But what do I know about US law?
Well but see the intent isn't to render it unfit to be reissued, the whole point is that you want it to stay in circulation so as many people as possible see the additional message.
This is legalese. The
"with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued"
probably relates only to the
"or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt"
part, and not the whole
"Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together"
The MAGoos have been stamping 'Donald Trump Lives Here' on US currency for years.
They are supposed to do it on bills that show the White House, but they've also put in on $5 bills that show the Lincoln Memorial
The only issue with this is that his signature is so unintelligible that whoever is not aware of what it looks like will just be confused to see loose accusations on their cash next to a bizarre scribble
I'm glueing some to my toilet.
I love the idea but the OP knows physical American cash isn't used around the world though, right? Like yes a lot of trade is done in USD but most people outside of their country have never seen an American bank note before unless they've visited the US or been one of the many people yelled at by American tourists for not accepting USD
You're kinda wrong man. There's a bunch of counties where dollars are essentially the main currency. I go to Lebanon often and yeah, USD is the main currency, esp after the financial crisis a few years ago. There's also Ecuador where USD is the actual official currency.
I mean, yeah, I realise that but I wasn't going to write out that there are exceptions with some unstable countries using it. The OP writes as if the whole world like Canadians, Portuguese, French, Chinese, etc, etc, are using USD daily. I wouldn't point this out if I hadn't literally met Americans who were confused that the USD isn't the only currency in the world
A qr code as a stamp that takes you to an easy list about Trump's Epstein ties would be easy enough to make
Doesn't communicate that information as directly as something written on the bill itself
"Money trades hands all over the world"
No, no actually no dollar bills are trading hands in almost any country at all times
Right? A client of mine in Japan have new a hefty tip in USD. While I truly appreciated his kind gesture it was a pain in the ass for me to exchange it without paying for stupid exchange fees.
I don't think anyone here would want to receive physical USD.
If Democrats ever regain power, this needs to be official. "Donald Trump is a pedophile" should be by law written on all currency. It will take decades to educate Americans.
Biden tried the quiet "let's sweep it under the rug and everyone will forget" approach. It didn't work.
Trump is a pedophile needs to become the modern "Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam"
(In ancient Rome it was traditional to end every speech, no matter what the speech was about, with the phrase, "Carthage must be destroyed.")
