Handmaid’s Tale protest in Orlando yesterday.

I mean, I get the sentiment, but does everything have to be a pop culture reference with libs?

Also, signs of fascism? I think the US is way past the point of showing mere signs of emerging fascism. It’s already balls deep in fascism (sorry, gross turn of phrase, I know).

        one of the funniest/saddest things ive ever seen was trump at a baseball game with the whole stadium chanting at him “LOCK HIM UP”

        i was like OK DO IT THE THERES 50K+ OF YOU GO LOCK HIM UP OR [REDACTED] HIM yet their chant was it

        r/Andor is a favorite of mine for this shit. Utterly obsessed with performance art and they will lose their shit at you if you ask “so what is the protest’s demands?”

      I don’t get how they can still think that they can change the hearts of fascists by shaming them.

      When will they understand that fascists do. not. care. It doesn’t matter how wrong you tell them they are, they only see winners and losers. To fascists, any peaceful protest is just taken as losers whining that they lost.

        I drive past ‘honk if trump is bad’ “protests” on the sidewalk every weekend (its all old ppl and theres 0 cop presence so you know theres no threat to power) and im like cmon guys have some actual demands or at least block traffic

        if they understood that they wouldnt be liberals
