Of course they are, they’re the ones in support of the tyrannical king.
I cherish these moments where they see that everyone outside their bubble loathes them
Those dumbass MAGA morons blew their loads calling this a hate rally and it ended up being the biggest mass mobilization of Americans in history.
Eat shit, Repugnanticans.
Hopefully contemplating why they are on the wrong side of American history.
>In comments Friday, Donald Trump opposed the protest organizers’ characterization of him as a would-be monarch.
>“They say they’re referring to me as a king. I’m not a king,” Trump said in a Fox News interview.
>Later Friday, a Trump campaign social media account mocked the protests by posting a computer-generated video of the president clothed like a monarch, wearing a crown and waving from a balcony.
>At a White House event on Wednesday, Trump tried to downplay the No Kings events. “I hear very few people [are] going to be there, by the way, but they have their day coming up and they want to have their day in the sun,” he said. Trump is spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.
What can they say? They were outclassed
It’s their only play. Their facade falls away if they recognize they are the radicals and the minority.
There are so many more of us normal people than MAGAs. They know they’re a minority.
Not the woman down the street, she said she saw people being bused in.
(spoiler alert: she was full of shit).
Republicans opposing a massive statement of support for our republic? I wonder if any of them are aware of the irony.
The problem is we can’t just have one protest and expect it to make the difference we want. Today was powerful but we need more. We need to get out there and have protests constantly until we see action. The French do that…they surround government buildings even. Let’s emulate them (but without the rioting) because they seem to effectively protest things.
There was one guy today in a big MAGA truck with Trump flags flying that drove by our protest repeatedly. Each pass through, he was less and less aggressive as no one paid attention to him, and he was literally alone – no support in the crowd or among the traffic.
Fox News just had Palestine shit on all day, it’s truly comical the world conservatives live in
As someone who went to a no kings rally today, it was the FARTHEST it could possibly be from a violent, anti-American, terrorizing rally.
It was peaceful, it was fun, it was social. Honestly, it was hopeful
Why? They are anti-frog?
Republicans know that tomorrow they are going to start some new chaos to pull the narrative back from the protest so they aren’t worried. The truth is they have no grounded reality to uphold so they can be silent today and make up some shit to troll all non cult members..
>“I’ve been reliably informed that Democrats are opposed to any kind of political violence, so I look forward to them universally condemning Zohran Mamdani for campaigning with an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorist plot that killed 6 New Yorkers,” Vance wrote.
So he admits that he’s been reliably informed that Democrats are opposed to any kind of political violence. Jesus. What a two-faced snake.
Correct. Cause it was neither the low turnout or violent mess they’d hoped for.
They’re simply left with the fact that an ever increasing number of people publicly stand against them.
>“…we call it the ‚hate America‘ rally…“ said the House speaker, Mike Johnson of Louisiana.
The idea that protesting against harmful policies, corruption, and snatching people off the street = hating America is a lying, twisted take.
The silence was nice. Wish they’d keep their racist, sexist, xenophobic, moronic bullshit to themselves or at least just in their churches.
They are big annoyed on the conservative sub.
They’re not silent, they’re just saying the same three stupid comebacks over and over again. So, braindead? Yeah. Silent? Not so much.
What I don’t understand is there appear to be a lot of people who are at these protests, and a lot of supporters who didn’t go, which begs the question, where was this during the election? Like imagine this kind of turnout to actually vote at polls? I’m mad about the state of this country but really mad at everyone who voted for it, and even more mad at those who didn’t vote at all. I wish these protests weren’t necessary.
I got to drive by a no kings protest today that had MAGA on the opposite side of the street. Felt good to flip off the MAGA pro king protesters
Peacefully protested by the tens of thousands in each major city, which from what I’m hearing so far, had few to no arrests. Hell, the smaller city protest where I was at had people lined up 2 or 3 deep for at least a quarter mile on each side of the road and a guy on a Harley with a giant Fuck Trump flag, riding back and forth for 2 hours, which got big cheers every time.
Has anyone noticed that at this point in time, anyway, most American news sites are not carrying the point that millions protested in their headlines? They use phrases like „large crowds.“
I’ve only seen UK news sites refer to the millions in their headlines. Its important because it looks deliberate and an attempt to play down the volume of protestors. If millions show up all over the world for one thing, it is an obvious headline mentioned.
Well, most of the No Kings protests did very little to disrupt anything so they can be mostly ignored. It’s still a good thing, millions in the streets (well, parks and asigned protest areas), is still a threat.
Oh trust me, they are anything but silent.
“But we don’t have a king so these people are stupid” every single one of them. They really are that far gone.
I was at a rally in Vermont. Yes, the bluest state. But even in Vermont, Trump still got one-third of the vote.
I can remember two Trumpers driving by. One was an older man who looked like he was in a daze. He waved around a MAGA hat out of his truck window, I guess to taunt us. We all just waved at him. He was muttering something, not angrily, but all I could hear was „he ended 7 wars.“ I just laughed. I guess there is actually somebody other than Trump who thinks Trump ended 7 wars.
Because they were peaceful and poignant so Republicans can’t use them to push their authoritarian rhetoric about the violent left.
They’re quiet because they know what they’re doing is wrong morally and wildly unpopular. We need to relish in that today but continue the fight tomorrow!
There are no burning cities to froth at the mouths over. Slow news day.
At the very least, real leadership would say, “ we understand not all Americans are happy, and we hope to find common ground.“ Total BS of course, but so much more defendable than demonizing a significant, if not majority, of the electorate.The days of real leadership are gone and going faster.
They’re making plenty of snarky comments on my town’s Facebook page
Does anyone not realize that virtually everyone was invited to attend these events to oppose a lawless dictatorship in the US? It wasn’t D vs R. It was democracy versus tyranny…..just as it was 249 years ago.
