Non-Violent, Non-Criminal Anti-Trump Protest

[Perknose]

In my "hometown" of Doylestown, Pa. At least a couple hundred of folks showed up. Made me proud!

No problem with that, amigo.

Problem not found. If people want to peacefully protest and the Trump administration allows them the freedom to do so, is that not what we want

He's been president for one day and you're already making him sound like a third-world dictator. You live in the States, not in North Korea, they can protest without your holy emperor's will.

If these were peaceful Obama protestors they'd be labeled racists by the democrats. Oh wait, anyone that didn't vote for Hildabeast was already labeled a deplorable, and zero liberals were upset by that.

Allows us? This is the fucking United States of America, chief.

We, the people, don't need the fucking permission of the Ignorant Orange One and his cabal of billionaire lackeys to exercise our fundamental freedoms, "self-evident" RIGHTS outlined in our Constitutionally enshrined Bill of Rights, rights claimed in blood by our citizenry, and rights which long predate and outrank Discount Mussolini.

Well I was told we now live in a fascist dictatorship. I was just pointing out that is clearly not the case given the events of yesterday.

I will make sure to stay clear of your knee next time I make a point.

bullshit mikey. I immediately pointed out that is was a very dumb thing to say, that you do not alienate or insult the voters.
And kudos to the 2.5 MILLION CITIZENS, MEN AND WOMEN OF ALL RACES MARCHING TOGETHER!!

ah fudge....how do I embed a tweet?

lol, I have the same exact problem. I don't have a twitter account so I'm not that familiar with it.

Did you get all wet with right-wing, authoritarian glee?

No, but the free speech zones the DNC setup in Boston when they had the convention there got me really hot

The Boston Police tweeted a thanks to the protesters for being respectful.

oops you are talking about another time. Sorry.

Yes another time. When the DNC had their convention in Boston, they penned protestors to an area that was actually quite dangerous given the Big Dig activity in the vicinity.

My point being, if Trump or the Republicans wanted to be fascist boot stepping jerks, they could have thrown a lot of obstacles in the path of yesterday's protests.

Permits
Public safety
Lack of resources given the inauguration

Yet the protests went forward unhindered and everyone behaved in a civil manner

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Proper use of 1st amendment rights. :thumbsup:

 

[FIVR]

The only midwestern state more racist than Pennsylvania is Ohio, and they both went for Trump. I have little sympathy for protesting Pennsylvanians considering the state they choose to live in. They should move.


What is Pennsylvania is most famous for? Jerry Sandusky

Yeah I only have an old generally unused twatter account. I find twitter kind of irritating. The only tweets I ever made were under protest. Previous job liked us to retweet marketing crap.

Permits issued and planning occurred under the Obama administration. Look at what happened to Canadians that tried to cross the border to join the protests. And if you really need some more evidence of fascism, Sean Spicer's presser yesterday was straight out of the DPRK playbook.

Our laws don't protect the rights of Canadians to engage in our political processes and permits are easily revoked. Try again. Fascism not found.

Nice job Perk. I took a bus down to DC hoping to make the nation proud. It was the other way around on the bus ride home when I saw what had happened around the country. Moved almost to tears. If we can only keep up this level of intensity, we can save the republic.

I said the evidence of fascism was Spicer's presser. Don't put words in my mouth, shithead.

Triggered!!!

Let's examine your sentence structure. You provided examples to support your argument that elements of fascism were evident and then stated if I want MORE evidence of fascism, look to Spicer's presser. That therefore created a linked narrative thread, with the statement of MORE linking the Spicer presser to the previously stated examples as qualifying your conclusion.

You didn't like my response so you resorted to name calling.

Predictable.

A big indicator of Trump fascism is his treatment of the media. I have never seen a president of the United States with less respect for the free press than Trump. That should scare you as much as it scares me.

If he moves the press briefing room to a larger room and turns briefings into a propaganda mill as is done in Russia for Putin, where people have signs identifying what news organization there are with, what questions they will ask and half the hall is filled with Trump supporters who applaud him, will you support it? This is now how a free country the reveres the free press is run.

Right, like these supposedly non-racist anti-Obama protests?

Most protests against Obama weren't racist. But there's zero doubt that a disturbingly significant number of them were racist, whether they lynched Obama in effigy or questioned his American origins (because no black person with a 'foreign' name can ever be an American citizen, right?). Let's not forget the "he's a secret Muslim terrorist who'll impose Sharia law any moment now" theories that were rampant, especially early on. Criticism of a politician should only focus on those evident qualities that affect their ability to govern. Like, say, Trump's ego, pettiness, gross incompetence, racism, sexism, xenophobia, corruption, anti-science views, habitual lying...
