    And they are doing what that is useful?

    Protesting, making their voices heard. Showing the world that not all Americans are fascists.

    The amount of people in any of these pictures could easily enter the White House and unseat Trump

    You clearly don’t have any idea how overzealous the security in and around the white house is.

    Even IF they somehow got to the oval office after suffering hundreds if not thousands of casualties, the Mango Mussolini would have long since been whisked into a bunker and secret service and the military would arrest or kill all of them.

    yet here we they are, performativelizing

    The first person part was correct, the plural wasn’t. What’s performative is your insistence that the obviously impossible is easy.

      Would it even get that far? Gathering that many people in one spot, at the same time, with a coherent plan would take… a lot of communication. And we know for a fact that the spooks are listening in.

      But, hell, @[email protected], start organizing people. I’m interested in seeing how far it gets.

      Honestly though. I thought it would take hundreds of casualties to get into the capital building. And really, is trump actually in the white house much? Golf ain’t going to play itself. But these protests build up the confidence of people who want to do more. It makes them feel like the people are behind them. So maybe these are warm ups for taking the white house.

        It would have if they hadn’t been almost exclusively white members of the MAGA cult. One reason why there were so few cops hindering them was that Trump ordered a standdown, and another was the fact that there were more cops participating in the coup attempt than resisting it.

        If it had been a diverse leftist group, you better believe there’d be both cops and military shooting to kill rather than the suspiciously restrained tactics employed that day.

        If there is a warmup, I think the Mar-a-Lago would be a good place to make things toasty. It makes it clear what waits for Trump if he continues to use the Oval Office as a toilet bowl.
