I can only assume you are all bots meant to discourage people from protesting, and others would be wise to report and call out these accounts.
What does protesting even do?
That's five million Americans standing in solidarity.
That's five million Americans connecting, organizing, and sharing resources.
That's five million Americans not shopping or working that day.
That's five million Americans being inspired to run for office and support others who are.
These protests are only going to get bigger and bigger as the word spreads.
Join them, or STFU about how nobody is doing anything.
That's the problem with people like you. You just assume someone that doesn't agree with your ineffective BS isn't a real person. Keep protesting if you want IDC, but don't be deluded into believing that will amount to real change against people that want those like us dead. Fascists don't respond to peaceful protesting. Boycotting is much more effective than hitting the streets with signs. These cretins only respond to monetary loss.
Guess what?
Boycotting instructions and lists of MAGA businesses to avoid are spread at the protests.
Maybe you would know that if you actually attended one instead of being lambasted on the internet over your idiocy.
Guess what: we did this last time Trump was President for 4 years already
Or you could just pay attention and you would already know which businesses you need to boycott. Unfortunately I'm all too familiar with Americans, as I am one, and I know most of us pleebs don't have the fortitude to apply austerity to ourselves for very long. We like our treats too much.
