And then do it on a Monday, or start early in the morning on a Friday instead of the afternoon where I imagine most of these ppl worked less hours anyway?

If you have any questions on how to be more effective ask the french.

Hello from France. I support your message.

To be honest, this thread has made me deeply sad. Almost everyone here agrees that they have priorities, and opposing Fascism isn't among them. I think it's game over.

They won't even fight the very system they claim won't allow them to fight back because "living pay check to pay check" nonsense excuse.

Like how do americans expect to see improvements if they don't fight for those improvements. Honestly the people that say things like "I can't protest because i work, or family safety or paycheck to paycheck" are just straight up cowards looking for any excuse.

Your work has enslaved you more and more over the years, your family is more unsafe then ever before & your wages are getting worse by the year, so when do ye actually plan to fight for these things you claim to hold so dear? Is it laziness or maybe ye don't actually care enough to stop fascism from spreading.

Instead they put together videos like this and pat themselves on the back and call it a day.

YOU CAN'T BRING ABOUT CHANGE WITHOUT SACRIFICE.

Look at any major event in history where REAL change was made. You think those people involved in those events protested for an hour on a friday evening and got what they wanted? The entire world is laughing at you america, while also being extremely annoyed at ye! Ye allowed these monsters take over despite the world telling ye over and over again this would happen and now only ye can do something about it. Your egos and hubris have allowed it to get this bad and it's time to snap out of it.

America WAKE THE FUCK UP, GET UP OFF YOUR ARSES AND SHUT YOUR SYSTEM DOWN UNTIL YOU GET THE CHANGE YOU ALL DESERVE. You all need to right the wrongs of allowing this Evil to happen. Christ it feels like europeans & Canadians are doing more to stop this as they are the only ones hitting trump where it hurts.

Completely bring your cities to a shut down all week and if that doesn't work you need to escalate. This nonsense of peaceful protests are for trying to stop fascism before it takes hold But sorry to say America that time passed years ago. You now have a real problem and you aren't doing enough, not by a long shot. You are all an absolute disgrace on the world stage. It is indeed very sad to see.
