      This is the second No Kings rally. Isn’t that reoccurring? I get what you mean, but Trumps only been president for 10 months. In that time, all US media has been gobbled up by fascist conservatives who are fighting tooth and nail to make every American at these protests seem like a terrorist extremist.

      The protests WILL increase. And they WILL keep reoccurring. There’s clear momentum gathering.

      Just that momentum needs to be slow, and silly, to effectively disrupt the false narrative being broadcast on almost every single news network in the US right now.

      Trump won because people here fully believe whatever bullshit the TV tells them. Batboy and Bigfoot are basically real to these people, and there’s literally no convincing them otherwise because it’s now on every channel they watch.

      We need those people to see how the TV is wrong before they can even begin to understand how wrong our country now is.

      If protests were every week the moment Trump took office, then it would just become white noise to these people.

      Letting Trump dig his own grave by constantly altering the narrative is more effective than giving him the same material to work from that got him into position in the first place.

      Hardcore Republicans are finally seeing how dangerous the rhetoric is becoming because Fox News is telling them people in Frog Costumes are Terrorists. Now that it’s obvious they aren’t, maybe more of what Fox News has been saying isn’t true as well.

      Slow and steady resilience to a Fascist whose going senile is a far better way to defeat that fascist than becoming the terrorists he wants his opposition to be.

      Can’t have that in America. they need to be scheduled preferably on a weekend within a short commute.

      As long as it’s on a weekend the drive isn’t too long, any other day? it’s a long drive + work + my healthcare is tied to my work + i still believe I’ll have work in a years time at this rate.
