Many have observed that Trump . . . is looking to create a pretext for a much harsher crackdown. This makes Saturday’s No Kings protests even more consequential. In the event of any violence, whether from protesters or agent provocateurs, the president will doubtless seize on it to expand his power.
Thank you. I really get sick of the number of Lemmy users who think we can just nose dive into a general strike and immediately solve all our problems. That isn’t going to work, and it’s obvious why if you’ve studied even a little about how past general strikes have worked.
People that dismiss protests have never been to one. They have no idea the power of unity.
It’s telling that of all the “protests don’t do shit” replies in this thread, none them seem to want to engage with this sub thread.
