I remember being so motivated after that disastrous meeting Trump had with Zelenskyy. Where Trump tried to extort him for minerals and broadcast it on Russian State TV.

I worked on the Mayday Movement. I really thought we could make something like Euromaidan. I thought it would be easier to general strike if we lived in an encampment.

It fell though. Not many people came. Then I focused on 50501 instead. I had to keep moving forward doing something.

It’s great for people not experienced in protest. The previous No Kings was the first protest my parents attended.

We do have a lot of successes. But whenever we do, he does something stupid again.

Oh I was wrong. I learned about this from Lincoln the movie. Turned out prolonging the war was added for dramatic effect. Thought it was true.

Good. If Trump gets ahold of the Fed then it could cause a worldwide Depression.

Just like when gun control was brought to California when the Black Panthers open carried.

I don’t understand your logic here. Yeah, a lot of new ideas are pushed forward by fringe or oppressed groups. Those fringe groups can grow in size and power to challenge, and thus change the institution itself.

MAGA was not institutional at first. They were fringe and weird. No one took them seriously. Look at where they are now.

Slavery was institutional at first. But then the Republicans, an institution, were created to counter slavery. Abraham Lincoln literally tricked American citizens into supporting the 13th Amendment, thinking it was necessary to stop the Civil War. In reality, Lincoln kept the Civil War going longer than necessary to pass the Amendment.
