leaders with the most prominent Trump-resistance group organizing “No Kings” answered that complaint Saturday when Indivisible’s Ezra Levin took to the stage in Minneapolis and announced that a nationwide general strike is planned for May 1, modeled after a successful local action that shut down much of that region in January
Save the doomer BS. It’s not for hyper online people like yourself. You’re a minority in this.
I live in protest central, I know a useless protest when I see it.
Here’s the #1 problem with No Kings:
Trump doesn’t CARE. You can’t shame the shameless. The only thing that will cause him to take notice is if something impacts him PERSONALLY.
Get 8 million people in DC and shut it down for a month? That would have an impact.
A million people trapping him inside Mar-A-Lago? That would have an impact.
As it stands now? Every protest in a blue city or a blue state? Dismissed with a subtle jerking off motion, or in Trump’s case? Not so subtle. Nothing about him is subtle. LOL.
BUT - BUT - if No Kings moves to impact the upcoming Senate races to a point where people up-set the apple cart in the same way they are going to do the House? That is going to NEUTER him and he knows it.
The big thing is, this can’t be a “throw the bastards out” movement, it needs to be about how, specifically, Republican candidates, policy, and ideology are all toxic to us, as a country and as individual people. They went from “the party holding us back” to “the party actively harming us.”

… right
You just can’t accept facts when it’s infront of your face and slapped you.
