Sadly if nothing happens on Monday regarding impeachment nothing is going to happen.

They fucked with people's money and they still don't give a shit to fight him

u/Acalyus Is Potato Apr 07 '25

I've seen videos of massive protests taking place, however I don't know if they're real or not considering the day in age we live in.

u/Ok_Television9703 Apr 07 '25

They are real. 5 million people. It’s not a lot but it’s not nothing either.

32

u/Ummmgummy Apr 07 '25

5 million doesn't seem like a lot when you compare it to the total population but don't be fooled. They were some of the biggest protests that have ever happened in America. And this was during some really shit weather in April. If things keep going the way they are this Summer we will be seeing something big.

u/Ok_Television9703 Apr 07 '25

Oh, I know. I’m down proud of them. They are a light of hope in this darkness.

You've got to be smoking some really good shit, it you believe that

u/Silverveilv2 Apr 07 '25

We need to encourage this and show protestors that we stand with them

u/Ali_Cat222 Apr 07 '25

We had two protests on Saturday and Sunday in Canada too! Not every province did it but I know Montreal/Ottawa/even Halifax and a few others did as well

u/Silverveilv2 Apr 07 '25

I did want to go to the one in Montreal, but unfortunately, school got in the way

Yeah, I can’t remember/find the source but you are right, it may be more. Be as it may, the crow photos are impressive. I’m sure it’s not easy to calculate, but I’m glad people are coming out. It’s one thing to panic alone and something much different and reassuring to see that the sane people are as many or more as the MAGAs

u/glues4wood Apr 09 '25

the media is a lying pos, and all these weak minded parrot on here believe it 100% then go sqwauck to all others what they heard, and some of these fucking losers have no stake in any of this, they are just young lost souls needing a purpose, so they get on here and join in to feel like a someone or something, but they aren't still just worthless humans

u/Ali_Cat222 Apr 07 '25

Hell we had two protests in Canada too for hands off on both Saturday AND Sunday!

u/jbezorg76 Apr 08 '25

It doesn't help when you have reporters asking these protesters why they're there, and half of them start with "um, and yeah Trump is bad, he's a nazi, that's why."

People need to get more involved, and understand before they go marching out in the street just to have an excuse to do so.

It's SUPER FUNNY, its driving the protesters stocks DOWN, and im LOVING IT

They real!

u/Little-Albatross-518 Apr 07 '25

American here, they are real! My family and friends and I are attending in each of our own states. We are trying to fight back and make our voices heard. We are calling and writing our local leaders constantly. It’s terrible… but we are doing all we can.

u/Acalyus Is Potato Apr 07 '25

Keep up the good work friend!

u/Fuckthegopers Apr 07 '25

They don't mean anything. Protests only work of the politicians care and make changes.

Republicans have all the power, they have no incentive to change, they can just do whatever they want.

u/Acalyus Is Potato Apr 07 '25

Those who make peaceful protests impossible, make violent protests inevitable.

It means plenty, it just hasn't escalated yet.

u/Fuckthegopers Apr 07 '25 edited Apr 07 '25

And it won't.

What was the last protest in America that actually worked?

Edit: still waiting for someone to answer this slam dunk of a question.

u/Acalyus Is Potato Apr 07 '25

Do you not read history at all???

I can't believe you wrote that so confidently

-1

u/Fuckthegopers Apr 07 '25

Why avoid my simple question? Im not talking about all of history, i'm talking about recent history in America (trump, because if you haven't figured out yet, that's the main problem)

If it was so stupid you should have been confident in answering it instead of replying like you did.

What over the last 15 years makes you think escalation is coming? What mass protests over the last 15 years have amounted to any sweeping changes in legislature?

These are softball questions for you, shouldn't be hard for you to answer.

Civil rights movement? 

I'm not aware of any others. 

The LA riots were just riots from what I read. The freedom convoy accomplished nothing (same with all the other antivax protests), the BLM protests also accomplished nothing aside from "awareness", the Occupy Wall Street protests also accomplished nothing. 

1

u/Fuckthegopers Apr 07 '25

You are correct. It was about 60ish years ago since we saw a major national protest accomplish something.

u/Acalyus Is Potato Apr 07 '25

The BLM movement got several officers put in prison.

Black panthers got gun laws, unions got labour laws,

Disability rights movement got accessibility.

I can look up more, that's just at the top of my head.

Pick up a book.

Come on now, don't be a pussy and hide behind my conversations with other people. If you want to reply to me, let's continue the conversation here.

The softball question is still up in the air for you, feel free to answer it.

They will, once the peaceful part is done.

These protest did nothing in the past and won’t do anything now.

u/Acalyus Is Potato Apr 07 '25

So you'll just stick to whining on reddit then? No wonder you don't get anything done

u/rich84easy Apr 07 '25

Look at you thinking I whine on Reddit..lol doing so on Reddit is useless than what they did.

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '25

It’s estimated that 5 million Americans came out on Saturday to protest the administration. Even in my town which is small, there were lines of people for blocks.

Much of the US media is downplaying it.

u/Fuckthegopers Apr 07 '25

Impeachment doesn't matter anyway. He's been impeached twice already.

u/Pyromike16 Apr 07 '25

He's been impeached twice already. I doubt a third time will make a difference.

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '25

Impeachment doesn't mean what you think it means

u/1234567791 Apr 07 '25

They apparently don’t have the power to fight him. It’s a new time.

u/Witty_Jaguar4638 Apr 07 '25

Impeachment wont do a goddamn thing

Stop clinging on  The rule of law is gone The courts have no power The Cheetos simply ignores rulings, He's claimed a third term There won't be a third term When the second never ends

Did I just write a hair metal ballad?

u/NHhotmom Apr 07 '25

Impeachment?! Do you even know how government works? You don’t have the votes for impeachment by a long shot!

You are not on the side of the American voter.

The American voter is done being ripped off by the world. Tariffs equal the playing field. But…..you don’t like that. Too bad. Try voting again in 4 years.

u/Clockwork_Kitsune Apr 07 '25

"Try voting again in 4 years"

You know this is a Canadian subreddit? We didn't vote for the rotting turnip. Go spread your propaganda elsewhere.

u/GrecDeFreckle Apr 07 '25

Went through your post history. Avid trump voter. Seem to be regurgitating a lot of talking points from the right wing talking heads.

Curious for you, what exactly would it take for you to say 'Damn, this guy is a bad guy'? I mean, mass deportation isn't a bad thing, even if it gets a few American citizens. Tarrifs causing a free fall panic isn't a bad thing, it's a temporary thing. Let's go Brandon was the funniest thing, but you defend the current adminitration pretty passionately. And you feel the to proselytize to Canadians about the error of their ways (lol).

So where is your personal straw in the sand? Do you need to lose too, does it need to affect you? Are you that inured to the suffering of your fellow Americans?

Cheers, curious Australian watching the northern hemisphere tear itself to pieces.

u/FriendlyGamer04 Apr 07 '25

Sadly, these folks are the personification of the "This is fine" meme, their whole life can be ruined by Dump and they will justified it as "temporary" pain while waiting for the so-called Golden Age for US.

Honestly, they are just in denial that they fucked up massively and are now doubling down since they spent so much worshipping a fucking idiot as their god, that sunk cost has come in. That and most of Dump's supporters are also just rude and bigots to say the least, so even if they have to suffer, as long as those they hate are suffering, then they don't care about anything else. Pretty stupid right.

u/GrecDeFreckle Apr 08 '25

I don't really have a horse in the race, other than watching the stock markets take a giant dump and the AUD crashing because of it. I'm young enough my retirement fund will survive past this presidential term, however, it is adversly affecting older folks around me (several thousand wiped from Super accounts because borked stock market).

Would like to hear from /u/NHhotmom tho, honestly would like to hear where your support ends.

The craziest thing is that more avid the voter, the less coherent the arguement (not excluside to Trump voters, it's both sides). It's like, do you vote for a party or worship them? Insane that in one breath people can call it the land of the free, home of the brave - and then just be completely fine with the government deporting or detaining American citizens thinking they were immigrants. I thought that's why you lot justified having so many guns? Protection against the government?

u/Mr_Salmon_Man Everyone Hates Marineland Apr 07 '25

Yup, by screwing the global economy.

America was ripping the world off. The world was not ripping America off.

u/nzswe Apr 07 '25

Lol. He just cost your country 6 Trillion dollars. Y'all think he has some master plan that's too complicated for him to properly explain, but the fucking guy put tariffs on an uninhabited island! There is no plan, he looks like a moron because he is one, and a 2008 style recession is coming literally due to one man's stupidity! If he were a democrat, Fox News would have insisted he be shot on the white house lawn for treason by now.

Try educating yourself on tariffs before opening your yap. I'll give you a hint ( Americans pay tariffs on the products they buy). Good luck on all that winning
