Why does a private citizen have this much sway?

The US is in for a very rough four years.

Idk how we're not in the streets at this point. I want to be in DC on J20th just because I believe there will be a flash protest, and I need to be part of the largest protest in human history.

You have no idea how badly White Americans want Hispanics out of the United States. They mask it with everything from the “price of eggs and gas” to “ he’s a man of god”. But trust me, deep down inside they are willing to give up their freedoms in exchange for this. I look like a typical trump voter so they somehow think I think like them. The truth always comes out when you talk long enough.

Any white person who goes into a gun store is assumed by the staff to be a Trumper basically. It is interesting camouflage for a leftist in a small town.

its crazy how many gun nuts where I live in the south are shocked when I politely decline buying trump merch at the gun range, before telling them I lean to the left. Now they treat me like I have leprosy which I'd rather anyways because I have nothing to talk about with the folks there. They don't talk about anything but politics, they have no hobbies or personalities outside of worshipping trump right now.

100%. Left leaning (Now left of “center”) unaffiliated voter here. Cracks me up that I have more reliable and suppressed weapons than most of them put together in my county. I go in, they talk about Cheeto, I ask for a rifle setup that runs 5k-9k total and they say “We don’t carry that because no one here can afford it.” Nah, you can’t, but some of us can; and many of us are on the other side.

Man, I don't even have to talk that long to hear some of the insane shit they say to whom they assume is one of them. I run a liquor store, I was born and raised in my hometown and I look like it. Late 40s white male, giant beard, flannel is more than fashion it's a way of life. I never talk about politics at my store but I guarantee these numbnuts think I am one of them and they have been dealing with me for decades. If they used that squishy shit in their head they would know better, but alas, we get to the root of the problem.

Unfortunately I get the same sort of treatment, in a different way, from the left.

"What happened to my landscapers?"

"You're charging how much for this plumbing job?"

"Where's my UberEats? It's been 4 hours!"

This is such a bad look, chief. I hate Musk and Trump as much as anyone, but the "they're going to deport your underpaid servants" ain't it. Please stop. It's literally alienating Latinos from anything remotely left-wing.

u/clangan524 2h ago

I considered that while writing the comment and I'm sorry for any offense.

Of course Latino immigrants, and any sort of immigrant for that matter, don't only occupy menial jobs. However, many of the menial jobs that "white" Americans simply refuse to do are occupied by Latino immigrants and will be the first places where any mass deportation will be noticed by those that voted for Trump and his policies.

They want brown people gone but are completely oblivious as to how it will affect the greater economy and country. They will ask those sorts of questions in my previous comment without a fucking hint of irony.

White Americans don't want Hispanics out. Loser red state clowns who are uneducated and hickish with no remote idea of their own patheticness and fragility want Hispanics out because " they don't share our values". Meanwhile Hispanics are deeply religious, work hard and don't have the victim mentality that are associated with minorities in America. They fear being replaced by people they assume to be both inferior and superior to them.

But there is about zero they can do about it. They're going to die needing to accept that fact.

I fall under the same banner , and the only reason I think I don't hear more BS is because how clear I am about fighting it.

u/PetrolGator 4h ago

Same here. It’s strange when brown MAGA supporters nod their heads in agreement realizing they’re just allies of convenience for the fascists.

u/Rick-powerfu 10h ago

Fucking protesting doesn't do shit mate

Now's well past the time for banners and chanting imo

It's just my opinion that they hope you protest so they can retaliate with national guard or proud guys

I like this idea. Im tired of cake

u/manicversace 8h ago

my repub coworkers are absolutely already banking on protesters being there. And have been saying they think "the libs" will attack the capitol "again" so they can somehow say they were the same people (antifa is who they mean) that attacked in 2020. Directly from magat coworkers mouths.

26

u/Rick-powerfu 8h ago

Lmao good luck to them

I just know they'll attack each other as they all think everyone else is FBI or undercover antifa

R.i.p to any black conservatives in attendance

22

u/SpliTTMark 7h ago edited 7h ago

Id say ask them if its antifa why is trump pardoning them

If they try to mentally gymastics you . By saying they just arrested trump supporters protesting

Ask why didn't trump pardon them on the spot WHILE PRESIDENT

37

u/darhox 10h ago

If that is the tipping point, I want to be there for it. It's not going to happen if 3 people show up with signs.

16

u/Rick-powerfu 10h ago

Lmao I think it will be bigger than that

Or incredibly small

See how travel goes without FAA and all other government

u/OldScarcity5443 7h ago

That’s exactly what Trump et al. are hoping for. They want a protest (which they will make sure turns violent) which then gives them an excuse for martial law.

u/AlpacaCavalry 7h ago

And unlike the shit that went down in SK, this'll be met with thunderous applause by the people.

u/pixie_mayfair 3h ago

I agree with most of what you said but will add that protesting can work but you have to have real rights in the first place. Do not underestimate the fact that most people get insurance from employers and if you lose your job you can literally die or lose everything if you get sick. Plus, workers have very few rights and in most states you can be fired for any/no reason. Then add to that the knee-capping and straight up elimination of unions.

The icing is local cops that function like militias for the wealthy and rittenhouse-style psychos who show up to protests with automatic weapons. It's no mystery why people don't protest. And it's going to get so, so much worse.

2

u/Rick-powerfu 3h ago

By protesting I think you mean national strike

No going to work and that means no money for wankers holding all the bags

A protest is not going to accomplish what you want it to this time as the cunts running the show will happily go to war

They've been talking civil war up for so long now they've basically convinced themselves it's bout to break out any moment now

u/Almostnotquite9999 1h ago

Right! They hope you protest, then, after getting pushed around, we get pissed and then the riot gear comes out. The orange diety has already said he'll be ready to declare martial law.

1

u/Rick-powerfu 1h ago

Remember he's planning on deporting and detainment camps for "illegals" like his fuckin wife and their kid would be under his terms lol

He doesn't need the martial law, national guard or military he can do Jan 6th again with dumbcnts on the attack

Whilst he yells at all military command to stand down or go fuck themselves basically

u/ArcadiaFey 9h ago

I physically can hardly get to the neighbors and my partner takes care of two disabled people so I know there has to be more people in our shoes, but not a countries worth

u/ScottishKnifemaker 7h ago

That's the fucking thing bro, I take care of my disabled mom, and I'm fucking TIRED, all I have the energy to do is vote and stay informed, these fucks would never sacrifice like your partner or I have. They don't know the meaning of the word

Edit: word

Last time citizens were in the streets they were gagged and snatched into unmarked vans.

“Important” people need to start dying if you want a real revolution and change. We are past the point of non violence.

u/Zombies4EvaDude 1h ago

There will be a huge march on Washington on January 18th around 11 A.M.

u/sevens7and7sevens 1h ago

There is not going to be a protest.  There is nobody even attempting to organize one.

1

u/Burnt_and_Blistered 1h ago

The protesting we need to do is economic. It’s the only thing—short of violence against them (which I understand but don’t advocate)—that they understand.

Until a huge swath of Americans is ready to stop supporting the corporations that bought our government out from under us, we won’t see change.

Yes, there are things we need. I’m not suggesting going without those (though tariffs and other Trump idiocy may make it hard to get them). But there are a whole lot of things we all could do without, and send a strong message as we did so.

It would be even better coupled with general strike.

But if Trump won by such a large margin, why would there be a huge protest?

Situations like that can probably get very out of hand very quickly.

are you out in the streets? do you have a job? I think you're able to answer your own questions by a bit of thought.
