Die Menge in Dallas skandiert bei einer Kundgebung nach der Wahl „Kein Trump, kein KKK, keine rassistischen USA“.

Dallas, 🫵 you are the headquarters for the Resistance!

Good

>“Despite different backgrounds, despite different experiences and struggles, we all recognize that we came today seeing a system that fundamentally failed us,” said William Capper, a member of Jewish Voice for Peace. “If you were not already aware of this inconsistency between our electoral system and the realities that we all face, we see it now baldly and cleanly on its face.”
>… The event was part of a network of post-election rallies held across the country, including in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles….

>The rallies were organized before the election results were released, as a show of frustration with the U.S. government regardless of the political party in charge.

“a crowd of about 40 people listened to speeches and participated in chants”

Umm, why is this news?

I have some bad news for them…

I used to be all-American, despite not being a perfect country. Sadly, now I can only say I am a better-half American. I stand with that Dallas crowd.

I agree, but… a couple weeks late for this, eh?

The time to protest was earlier this month with a vote 🤷🏼‍♂️

I spent 9 years fighting this nonsense only to watch as large swaths of America either A) voted for Trump by the millions or B) just decided to stay home all together. I went to rallies. I went to women’s marches. I followed every single Trump official (and obviously Trump himself) on Twitter so I could get first hand knowledge of what they were doing. I watched all of his press conferences during COVID. I watched hours upon hours of BOTH impeachments. I posted hundreds of posts on my own social medias. I spent days volunteering and begging all of my friends to vote. Telling all of them to tell everyone else to vote. I donated hundreds of dollars to the democratic campaign. I watched every single debate. I watched everything I could. mean I did it all. Countless days. Years spent. I spent such a large chunk of my life invested in fighting this fascist. 9 fucking years!

Again, after all this, to watch as the country completely fell to their knees to Trump. Millions of GenZ men just get completely brainwashed by Joe Rogan. 50% of women fall to their knees for a fucking serial sexual predator rapist. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims supporting the xenophobic asshole.
Millions of Latinos. I mean all of this with the context that my wife is an immigrant and her own doesn’t even have a permanent legal status (her brother is a Dreamer for example). It’s very likely her whole family here will be deported despite them being successful here with their own business.

And now it’s too late and we are about to watch a complete Christian fascist nationalist takeover and there’s not a damn thing we can do about it.

For the first time in my 35 years of life, I have lost all (and I mean all) patriotism for the United States of America. We have completely lost our way. I’m tired. I’m defeated. And I don’t see us recovering from this.

Maybe they should have VOTED!

Should’ve voted…

Where was that energy before the election?

It looks like we won’t suffer alone.

This shit makes no difference. Where was all this before election.

All you had to do was vote for the overqualified woman. And we couldn’t do it. Twice.

Where were they when it mattered? 

We need more of this. We need to be vocal and pissed off. Places like reddit need to be a hub to organize and no longer be a place to rant 

The people had their vote. You’ve gotta respect that.

Americans are so performative. The time for action was at the polls. 

Now the rest of the world has to deal with all the clever TikToks and “murdered by words” for 4 years. 

Donald Trump was arguably disqualified to even run in this election and is literally under investigation for his role in fomenting an
insurrection for over four years now. This, combined with his 34 felony convictions which he will now very likely never see a day in jail for, and his express comments on desiring to subvert democracy for his own power and gain have arguably made it perfectly legitimate, to protest his win.

This man is a felon who, in most states, couldn’t own a firearm, couldn’t vote for himself, and in some states, would be disqualified from holding public office in those state; this man, the felony, will soon have nuclear launch codes as the “President of the United States of America”.

Never mind the country, we will be lucky if our species survives the next four years.

Too late now lads
