Support the Constitution! Show up and rally Saturday

I just find it laughable that any Democrat would be denouncing 'creeping authoritarianism." Democrats literally authored "creeping authoritarianism." They installed a half-wit puppet as a president, lied like rugs to the entire country about his condition, and ran the nation vis a vis a few unelected string pullers. To make matters worse, they pushed all kinds of legislation designed to cripple average Americans and bring the nation to its knees. Their overreach knew no ends. They even using the judicial to persecute any threats. So now they want us to believe they're the voice of democracy?? I mean, really, that takes a lot of nerve. LOL!!
This is total bullshit - start to finish.
Neither of the major parties are of any sincere use to the nation anymore. A two party system is a disaster. Vote independent if you want representation, and if you don't, vote Democrat or Republican
 
This is total bullshit - start to finish.
You know why that's all you got?? Because you're a Democrat, and the standard Democrat line is either babyish - like yours - or a lie, also like yours
 
Biden’s “Saigon 1975” moment was four years ago.
There should never have been Saigon nor Afghanistan "moments." Democrats and Republicans, not the Left, created those moments. With so few candidates that represent our views, protests and rallies are one of the only tools available. What are we supposed to do? Write letters to the editor when tens of thousands of U.S. service men and women are sent to die on the other side of the world???

Take the money out of politics. Reversing the course we're on all begins with that.
 
I suspect the demonstrations had a profound effect. My experience has been that they always do. There are millions of Americans who don't identify as Independents, but are merely fence sitters. They recognize that Trump is insane, a deeply disturbed megalomaniac suffering from stunted emotional development and fascistic tendencies, but they still have yet to recognize how dangerous he is to the country. The demonstrations open those pages for them. The signs and the chanting bring what was once only peripherally noticed, into fuller focus. It connects some of the dots to present a clearer picture. Demonstrations are a teachable moment where people engage with one another. They certainly have been in my life.
We’ll see as time goes by, I don’t think the protests nor the parade helped either side. I’ll check back in a week to see if the polls moved. It takes about a week or so for the polls to catchup to any event. My baseline.

Trump’s overall job approval/disapproval - https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/approval-rating

Trump’s favorable/unfavorable - https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/favorability/donald-trump

Give it a week and perhaps a few days. If Trump’s numbers drop 3-4 points in each category, then the protests had an effect. If they remain around the same given the normal ups and downs, then it didn’t. Quite easy to tell.

You rely too much on short term results. Unlike Trump's tank kabuki, the demonstration were going on before, and will continue to go on after. They are, at least in part, already contributing to public disillusionment in Trump. If you want to know the real impact, give it until Labor Day.

I think it's fair to assume that if he gets any bump at all from his howitzer burlesque, it won't last into July.

I don’t think either party will get a bump. I view them as feel good things for each party, for the pro-Trumpers and the anti-Trumpers. The question is, did either make a difference? The LA protests haven’t. Trump was sitting at 47.4% approval on 5 June, he’s at 46.7% today. The difference is just the normal ups and downs. No significant change. The status quo reigns. Keep in mind you also have the MOE to consider.

I mean, really, that takes a lot of nerve. LOL!!

Neither of the major parties are of any sincere use to the nation anymore. A two party system is a disaster. Vote independent if you want representation, and if you don't, definitely vote Democrat because that's the party of pure, onerous dictatorship. At least the Republican party airs its dirty laundry in public while it leaves us to fend for ourselves. I guess I prefer that
This^^
 
There’s nothing that can be done that will change MAGA republican, pro-Trump minds just like there’s nothing that can be done to change any anti-Trump, democratic minds.

there ar no Maga republicans because there is no more Maga

Maga has been morphed into Dark Maga technocracy my friends. read and learn, gooooogle is your friend and 'dark maga technocracy' are yur search words.



Now the group known as independents, the non-affiliated, the less to non-partisans minds can be changed or shifted from one side to the other.

If no kings protest was nothing more than to have a public display of the anti-Trumper, I don’t see that it accomplished much outside of making the anti-Trumpers feel better about themselves, at least for a while. The big question is what difference did it make? Did it win over anyone who was sitting on the fence? Did it make Trump change how he’s governing? We already knew the country is divided roughly evenly between pro and anti-Trump forces. So, you had your no kings protests, Trump had his military parade and today we’re back to square one exactly where we were before all of this happened.

Myself, I’d be concentrating on winning over as many independents as possible. It’s the midterms next year that will be the next battlefeild. Along with winning back many previous democratic voters who voted in 2016 and 2020 that stay home and didn’t vote in 2024.
 
You won’t get any bites from the left here. They have a laundry list of excuses for why they can’t come out from behind their keyboards.
Guess you don't want to compare the protests to those who showed up for the parade, now do you?

i attended a local No Kings yesterday and encourage others to do so.

once there it was easy to Educate the people concerning the Oligarchy, the Dialectic, and Dark Maga ................they were open to my thoughts, and many agreed.

both sides need to show up and start a dialog. we have no violence and burning cars, it was a fun event. but our local scene is not the insane LA thing...totally different.

christians and conservatives need to show up and help these people. i do and educate on the oligarchy, dialectic and dark maga. people wanna know stuff and it doesn't matter which color of criminal party you support either .

Well well people. Did we ALL enjoy the violent protests yesterday? You know the ones, the ones Righties predicted would be violent. I would suggest this thread hasn't aged well for that lot and I would suggest their contributions now look embarrassing.

They have a laundry list of excuses for why they can’t come out from behind their keyboards.

Where and who's organizing? Asking for a friend.

Free masks, rocks, concrete blocks, frozen water bottles, high explosive fireworks hidden in the right places, Antifa brothers and sisters will be there.....it should be a hoot, come one come all.

This should be awesome. Don't forget to bring a fire extinguisher with you.

(Be sure to bring your firebombs, chunks of concrete, and wear your masks.)

Now might be the time to buy those shoes or TV you wanted, before they all get stolen in the name of "saving democracy."

All you need to do is be there to provide a little cover for everyone that will burn, loot, and chuck rocks.

Awww, the lefties are going to celebrate Trump's birthday.

How is it an act of supporting democracy when the intent is to show solidarity with criminality?

Of course. Left wingers never, NEVER commit violent acts. :rolleyes:

Remember Donald Trump was democratically elected he made no bones about what he planned to do the people said yes we want that so if you're subverting that you are the authoritarian you want to undo democracy because it didn't go your way maybe it's because your ideas suck.

The radical left is a threat to the constitution

We just wish all of these America-hating leftists waving Mexican flags would take their riots somewhere else.

Because you're a Democrat, and the standard Democrat line is either babyish - like yours - or a lie, also like yours

When did the Rightwing of American become this sad and pathetic? They can't even post a comment that isn't vile and childish. Same thing will be repeated today, count on it.

Apparently a lot of people were not into that parade. In fact, I would hazard a guess that all of your loud and boastful Righties stayed home and watched it on TV. Nah, probably not. They were too busy watching Fox News to see how much violence was happening during No Kings day.

well people were fearful on both sides. i tried to get a conservative friend to go with and he was fearful and thought cars would be driving into protesters.

wow.

so i went by myself instead.

one lady was afraid to Cross the street, so i escorted her across. .........i have never seen such fear grip people, but it was peaceful. the cops mingled with us and some talked with them.

i got there late, was taking a nap; i have been to so many of these things and it basically is the same old thing. the Orange force was driving by us hurling insults as usual which was counter productive to their cause.

if you are into the Orange dictatorship, then come join us and splain your side.

i talk my side up and people listen, i even give a christian message because i believe both sides will fail in the end and we end up with a Real King which is Jesus who is King anyway. so i preach Christian Theocracy after splaining Armageddon and Prophecy to come.

people have never heard of my view, so i am patient with them explaining some Political Science basics that both sides should know, most don't as usual.


blessings all till the End of Time and eternally.

Cars and trucks needed to get places on streets with crowds. I directed some traffic as there was potential for accidents.

in the Smaller venues such as i attended, there was Zero problems with traffic; about the only Incidents i observed were Magas continuously driving by waving their flags at us and shouting Obscenities.

other than that, we crossed when the lights turned red, there was no shootings, lootings, burnings, brickings et al.

almost a fun event if yur into Politics and debating with others. one guy came by and asked what a 'No Kings' protest was LOL. but yeah they are out there and you can find that kind of mentality right here on occasion....

so never Assume anything.

i hang out in Beliefs, the ignorance there reaches to the farthest stars on some days. many will complain of my Cartoons in an attempt to get people on to Square One when it comes to Faith and Bible Prophecy.

but still after years of man Splaining they are baffled by stuff i get across to children at church. we need to love these people anyway, some are willfully ignorant and Dumb beyond belief.

same with Politics of ANY kind. how many thousand times do i have to Splain Dark Maga technocracy and we have a Yahoo claiming it is 'CT' or something dumber than that ??

well Dark Maga lives in that White Home in Corrupt Dee Cee friends that is all. and he has 6000 Oligarchs behind him pushing Neo Fascism.

it will not be like Germany 1930's, so don't go there. that would be toooo easy with Banners and a goofy Guy screaming at you. Technocracy operates different but accomplishes the Same ole thing. the Oligarchs in the WEF say they will take everything you own: and they Will, every last dime.

you might wanna find out soon: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=Dark+Maga+is+technocracy


blessings all, gotta step down for a few minutes. bye.

There should never have been Saigon nor Afghanistan "moments." Democrats and Republicans, not the Left, created those moments.

Yeah, we know. Just imagine how wonderful America would have been with SDS, the Weathermen, the CPUSA, or the Black Panther Party running it.



With so few candidates that represent our views, protests and rallies are one of the only tools available. What are we supposed to do? Write letters to the editor when tens of thousands of U.S. service men and women are sent to die on the other side of the world???

How about instead of framing every conflict as one involving the “oppressed” and their “oppressors,” rallying people to fight “The System,” “The Man,” white racists, rich capitalists, western imperialists, or the latest bogeyman they’ve dreamt up, leftists actually try doing what the Founders intended and assemble peaceably? Why does every protest they engage in devolve into a riot? And what’s wrong with writing your congressman, letters to the editor, and voting? Has it ever occurred to you that if your positions or candidates aren’t getting any traction then maybe there’s no appeal to them on the part of the larger public? That, unlike the millions of immigrants who out of all of the countries on the planet chose to be here, perhaps you should consider doing what Eva Longoria, Ellen DeGeneres, Richard Gere, and Rosie O’Donnell did and move to a country more to your liking?

Let me add one more thing. Become a non-violent activist. Join groups that can lobby on your behalf, or that have local chapters you can get involved with. Start a YouTube channel. Sell t-shirts and donate the proceeds. Whatever. Just get heard—and make sure you’re on the right side of history!
 
You won’t get any bites from the left here. They have a laundry list of excuses for why they can’t come out from behind their keyboards.
500,000 attended the rallies and no one came to watch the boy scout parade. Everyone including reps are laughing at Trumps latest failures. Well, at least he ended the parade in one day!!:LOL:
