Last year many articles were saying that if the protests hit 3% of the population Trump was done. Welp it’s happened, so what does his exit look like?

Otherwise this is performative bullshit while we need hard action.

3% 320 million is like 9.6 million. I guess they needed another 1.6 million people before the world changes for them.

I’ve been using 3.5% of 335,000,000 million, which is 11,725,000. Figure 12,000,000.

This No Kings was about 8 million, which was bigger than last time. There are also millions of people at home that are committed to the end of MAGA, but won’t go to a protest.

We hit that 3.5% of committed resistance long ago.

I could be wrong but I think the 3.5% protest observations assumes but doesn’t count non-participatory support. So the 3.5% is meant as the number in the streets with some much higher percentage of ‘quiet’ support.

Valid. I’m sure they want that 3.5% in the streets so they can unequivocally claim a Tipping Point (although a Tipping Point is NEVER guaranteed, just possible). No Kings participants want to play down the non-patricipants as not being committed enough, but for many, it simply isn’t possible, due to age, physical limitations, distance, anxiety, etc.

But that doesn’t mean they aren’t just as outraged, and just as committed, and those silent voices of outrage fuel the fire BETWEEN No Kings Rallies. And when the No Kings Rallies are happening, it’s important to acknowledge that the number is much, much higher, meaning those in the streets have an enormous block of silent power behind them. We need to make MAGA understand that as big as those growing crowds are, they are dwarfed by the angry Citizens at home. We need to make them very, very frightened of us.

You mean the same angry citizens that voted Trump in or didn’t vote at all? lol Dude, even if fucking 4% of he population agreed and showed up, that’s still 96% of people not going out and supporting you.

You’re on Lemmy, so you think you see a huge upswelling. Dude, Lemmy is less that even 1/2 of 1/2 percent of the population.

What do you think is being accomplished by these protests. It hardly even made the news this time around. lol So what, one or two articles on apnews, and cnn or any paper. one fucking article on their whole site?

No one cares what you are doing. Regardless of what Lemmy wants you to think. over 90% of the population doesn’t even want to be involved. What do you think is gonna happen.

Every fucking time I have seen a protest or a luigi thing happening, Lemmy shakes with glee and says, “This is it! It’s coming! Time for the Rich to be Eaten!!!”

Annnnndddd nothing has happened. lmao Nothing. Not one change. You all are fucking talking about holding signs in the middle of downtown on a fucking saturday. What the actual fuck do you think that had done?

Want change? Vote. You’re fucking protests are a joke. People literally laugh about you guys out there. Fucking lemmy…

Check out this dork. No use trying to explain anything to a virtuosically ignorant MAGA troll. Anyone who is still on board is just a corrupt, treasonous, racist, ignorant, incompetent, pedophile, completely locked into the concept of “Don’t bother me with facts, my mind is made up.”

Not to take anything away from your primary point, but I’d like a moment to appreciate the phrase

virtuosically ignorant MAGA troll

This is descriptive perfection.

The guy deleted his comment, so I officially won. I find that not engaging their idiotic assertions, and just talking about their stupidity right in front of them is the best response. I just talk to the audience ABOUT them.

I’ve had them keep responding with increasing anger, and I never address them, I just keep making fun of them to the general audience. One guy deleted his entire account.

Bullying MAGA is the only acceptable form of bullying. Pedophile Traitors don’t deserve respect.
