People are stopping them all over the country. There's just a shitload of these assholes flooding the streets right now because Trump is paying them loads of money we don't have.
Considering Trump is clearly doing everything he possibly can to allow the release of the Epstein files, I would wager Putin has lots of evidence of him molesting and raping kids.
Fascists are all about controlling the narrative. Any time we can seize that from them, they will be impacted. Trump has been trying desperately for months to encite violence and riots so he can justify massive military intervention. So far, his use of the national guard on peaceful cities is being met with contempt and resistance by the majority of Americans. Even his base is getting frustrated.
It sucks, but this is what winning looks like when we have a president, house, senate, and Supreme Court all captured by a hostile party looking to dismantle and divide the country.
The protests aren't meant to persuade Trump. You should educate yourself on how things work in the US.
The point is to persuade the 150+ million Americans that did not vote in the last election to vote in the next one, which is only about a year away. If Trump loses the house and senate, he will be severely limited in what he can do, and many of the awful things taking place can be reversed or at least halted.
Secondarily, many people that dispassionately voted for Trump are not happy about the economy and how he's preventing the release of the Epstein files. Those people absolutely can be persuaded to turn against him in the next election.
This is (for the moment) still a democratic republic.
Many Europeans genuinely do not understand the sheer size of our country. And that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to everything else they seem to not understand about our shitty culture that's been glorified and lied about on TV for generations.
This is such an insanely stupid and ignorant comment. Maybe don't weigh in on topics you know nothing about.
Change can be encited with a small group of people, and this was not a small group of people. Public opinion is the only weapon we can weild right now, and it's emphatically working as Trump's approval ratings are plummeting.
Discounting our success publicly is exactly what Trump does. If you're going to do his work for him, you should at least get paid - go apply to OANN.
Oh man, we got a fair few middle fingers. 70/100 cars honked in support, then about 3/100 flipped us off or gave a thumb down.
Hilariously, a few honked while flipping us off, and 90% of the protesters couldn't see them inside their cars with their windows up (cowards)... So it just seemed like they were supporting us, and everyone cheered.
"pulling their guns on people"
I just wanted to keep this at the top of everyone's mind:

Sorry about the "short" format, YouTube is such trash these days.
