Finally what? Finally the media is covering the protests that have been going on the entire time? They’re growing but they weren’t small even a month or two ago.
Fox News and the other propaganda channels are giving absurd amounts of coverage to liars. NBC just had on the secretary of the treasury where he was pitched softball questions. Without blinking this soulless minion claimed a crash is good for americans. But even a complete donkey would be skeptical of the claim that a massive economic contraction would be good for everyone.
This moron was talking out of both his blow holes about how the tariffs and economic collapse would lead to lower prices. Anyone who couldn’t spot the obvious contradictions (these people are contradicting themselves in the same paragraph) is beyond all hope.
Sorry, the hostility wasn’t really aed at you. It was more intended to be aimed at the media. I’m just a little tired of people believing that protests weren’t happening before now. They were happening but the media wasn’t covering them.
I’ve really been noticing the lack of actual news out of the US the past few months. It’s been incredibly weird.
And online I’ve mostly seen Americans apologizing and talking about how they’re gonna wait because «It will fuck the MAGAs over even more»
I’m very happy to see you guys doing this. So you have my support!
I really enjoy watching You tubes of Rachel Madden, Lawrence O’Donnell, Stephen Colbert and some others. Last couple of weeks, none of these appear in my feed, I have to actively search for them, and even then it’s like they are on holidays. Also, any You Tube comments I make seem to disappear…
I am pretty sure there’s some suppression and censoring going on. Maybe, they are finally afraid?
Most of my news has been through an active interest on the YouTube. Glad too see such a large turnout, it’s been a wild ride. Pretty scary to watch at times, hard to really tell what the actual consensus is on the ground level.
The media are complicit with Drumpf. After all, they created him. But now the owners have lost some money, they’re jumping aboard.
Never forget that the mainstream media are your enemy!
Late Social Security cheques for people who depend on them to pay their bills. This includes elderly and disabled people.
Lost jobs and the loss of the paycheques for people laid off by both DOGE and the economic chaos the shitgibbon in chief is producing.
People who have done nothing wrong being sent to a gulag in El Salvadore, and everything that entails.
Attacks and erasures on people’s gender identities. You won’t care of course, but many of us do because after they get done with people they tag with the foreigner label, they’re coming after transgendered people next, then after that, they’re coming after the rest of us. We’ve seen this play before. We’d like it to end without going to World War 3 to de-Nazify us.
Attacks on our friends in Canada and Mexico and Europe and so on.
Increasing inflation.
Decreasing opportunities.
Unelected billionaires trashing our government.
Naked Fascist displays.
I could go on, but I know you’re not here to be enlightened. If you were, you’d just google that. I mean, I just used Gemini to give a report of some of the top reasons for protesting, and a comprehensive answer was presented to me in less than 10 seconds, so I’m sure you could go do so as well. Why might you not? Oh. Rule 3. I can’t answer that. :|
(I missed a few things that Gemini picked up on. The imposition of an unpopular ideologue playbook on the country. Cuts to agencies we all rely on. Those were two things I didn’t include. Goes to show there are even MORE reasons to protest, but I don’t want to spend more time than I have on this dishonest debater. My point was made.)
I never implied I did… it’s not one person’s fault. Yes, the tariffs are negatively affecting the stock market. I believe things are going to rebound before too long. It was projected from the beginning there would be short-term financial struggles, and here we are, but it’s necessary to stop getting fleeced by these other countries.
It’s really REALLY funny to see you criticizing people for what you described as “repeating near verbatim the talking points on the left” then go on to literally do the exact same thing with fascist talking points.
It was projected from the beginning there would be short-term financial struggles, and here we are, but it’s necessary to stop getting fleeced by these other countries.
No it wasn’t. Trump’s whole campaign he touted how he was going to lower prices on Day One, end the war in Ukraine in 48 hours, stop the war in Gaza and blah blah blah. Only when he started fucking around with his on-again off-again tariffs and the undeniable resulting economic damage did they start throwing out the “there will be some temporary pain” messaging.
And the whole story that we were being “fleeced” by other countries is bullshit. He’s so stupid. He went on and on about what a “stupid” trade agreement we had with Canada and Mexico but he was the one who negotiated that trade agreement, in his first term. But he apparently can’t remember because of his dementia.
Well I’d be happy to have a conversation with you. I believe that people on both sides of this debate need to talk respectfully to one another in order to actually make change. I can tell you distrust the left and have heard certain talking points repeated, the person you replied to did just use an AI bot so it would be the most repeated stuff. The protest in my local area, which I believe was relatively similar to all the rest across the country, was based on a “hands off” concept. I think the right wing, traditionally more libertarian, party would actually see value in it. Lots of Trump’s executive orders and the DOGE cuts are affecting country wide programs instead of letting states choose. If you want to know the exact talking points of the protests look up hands off. You are correct you’ll have to wade through a lot of articles to find information but that is sadly any news today regardless of party.
You’re trying to converse with a sea lion. He just wants to waste your time and energy. You will not convince him, because you’re not the one paying him…
Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity (“I’m just trying to have a debate”), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.[5][6][7][8] It may take the form of “incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate”,[9] and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings
I actually didn’t use Gemini to compose my response to this person. I used it to figure out how hard it was to use. It wasn’t and it pointed me to two more things I hadn’t thought of when I made my own answer. My answer came from myself, and is basically what you said, but with more people. People want Trump and Musk’s hands OFF their social security cheques. They want them OFF their paycheques. They want them OFF the services they rely on day to day, and most of them are not the takers that Team Red thinks all users of service are.
In your quest to make nice with the guy I’m calling out for his dickish behaviour to the rest of us, you implied I used an AI bot to compose my answer. To be clear, I did not. I just read the signs of the people standing around me. Thanks for that implication, though!
Dear reader, the most surefire way to recognise a person who has his head so far up Trump’s rear that he can taste the burnt steak Trump had for his last meal is see the letters T, D, and S strung together in the empty-headed attempt to politically attack somebody else. It’s not smart. It doesn’t win the argument. It is a clear sign that the person using these letters in this way is a sycophant for the current admin and should be avoided by every decent person on the fucking planet.
This user asked what was being protested. I made it clear what was being protested. I knew this user was not here to debate honestly or faithfully because it doesn’t take any effort whatsoever to find the answer to this user’s bad faith question. But I answered so it can’t say the Left doesn’t know what it’s protesting. Denied that avenue, it drops some both-sides bullshit and then goes on a political attack.
I don’t give a shit about what it thinks about my points, or where it thinks I got them from. It asked the question, and showed why other users here are calling it a Sea Lion.

Fuck yes, finally!

Why are you so hostile? Calm down.
This is the first time I’m seeing any major movement outside of when Vance visited Vermont on any socials and media I follow.
Sorry, the hostility wasn’t really aed at you. It was more intended to be aimed at the media. I’m just a little tired of people believing that protests weren’t happening before now. They were happening but the media wasn’t covering them.

100% agree.

Good to see people taking action.

And what is being protested?
I was protesting fascism. What were you protesting?
This MF again
What might be being protested? Lesse…

Don’t forget our tax dollars funding a complete genocide!!!

Are the tariffs and the market crash not Trump’s fault then? Who’s fault is it, since you know?
I never implied I did… it’s not one person’s fault. Yes, the tariffs are negatively affecting the stock market. I believe things are going to rebound before too long.
