There is no need to be hostile toward someone who is clearly on our side. If they weren’t they wouldn’t mention the other abuses Walmart commits.

Using it gains nothing, but does alienate people with disabilities from wanting to join the cause if they feel it’s filled with people who use their disability to denigrate others. There is genuinely nothing to gain from using it over other insults, it only results in a net-loss.

Mass public protests are certainly more effective at shaping public opinion than quiet anger in your home.

We don’t allow that insult as it breaks rule #1. There are better words to use that do not insult an innocent group of people with its use.

If you edit your comment to a different insult, I won’t need to remove it.

It’s been a new name for each one, I guess to appeal to different groups for different problems. The ‘Hands Off!’ one for stopping the dismantling of Social Security did succeed in getting massive attendance from older people, so it seems to be working.

Thank you for joining us!

That’s pretty standard right-wing propaganda against the protests, and they’ve been making that claim since they started. It’s intended for their base so they can easily dismiss how popular the protests have been by making it appear like a sham or democrat conspiracy, when in (their warped) reality, Trump is super popular so the only way these protest happen is if people are paid to show up.

They’ve made similar propaganda to explain the popularity and crowd sizes of Bernie’s Anti Oligarchy rallies.

I do agree that it’s less eye grabbing or punchy compared to the previous ‘No Kings’ protest, which was immediately understandable in comparison.

Thanks for joining us!

It’s based on a John Lewis quote: “Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”

Thanks! Though from from what I understand degenerate has also been picked up by neo-nazi’s due to its origins being from eugenics.

But at this point I feel like that scene in Letter Kenny. I get your intent 😅

Hi, mod here. Could edit your insult to something else so that it complies with Rule 1?

Seems to work on my end.

Thank you.

Hi. Could you remove the insult from your comment (even if I think it’s justified) to align with Rule #1?

Thanks!

Solid recommendation!

What’s this from?

There’s a short video on the No Kings site that explains what the protest is for.

We’re protesting Trump and his use of authoritarian power against the will of the people. Such as:

• The kidnapping families off the street to deport them without due process (illegal)
• Illegally sending the National Guard and Marines to LA to stop peaceful protests against the will of the people and Governor
• Taking away Medicaid (our universal healthcare that only applies to low income people) from hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom may die without it
• Making ICE into what is effectively Brown Shirts
• Persecuting his political enemies, journalists, and lawyers, who dare stand against him

A successful protest would be that the Trump regime becomes too afraid that we will revolt if they keep pushing for an authoritarian dictatorship. We have already seen him begin to back down due to the backlash he has received.
