$$$. That's the answer.

Foreign gulags give the shitheads plausible deniability when it comes to situations like the mistaken deportation of a legal resident. So, they can rendition you to El Salvadore, and there's jack and shit you can do about it.

But a good third of our country will celebrate it even as the leopards eat their faces, because at least the leopards ate the faces of people they hate.

Absolutely!

Yeah, fuck off with your 'it can't happen here' bullshit.

It's not different if Dems keep pushing the same tired neo-liberal memes and keep fellating the rich and powerful, but maybe they could try an alternative plan, you know, doing rather than just talking?

Yeah, nah, fuck right off with that bullshit. Fascism bad. End of line.

Maye the next Republican will be a competent Fascist and we won't get another do-over.

Not quite,

Overall, 50 percent of those polled said they disapprove of "recent tariffs announced by Donald Trump," split between 39 percent for "strongly disapprove" and 11 percent for "somewhat disapprove." By contrast 39 percent said they approve, of which 21 percent did so "strongly" while 18 percent did so "somewhat."

It is still disappointing that 39% will align with Trump despite all of this, but keep in mind that there's a floor to Trump's support numbers. We'll never be able to approach all of them.

Let's see what happens on the undecideds over the next few months as the impact of Trump's tariffs hit. Heck, keep an eye on that 18% "Somewhat Approve". That's got to make some of the GQP reps a bit nervous!

Dear reader, the most surefire way to recognise a person who has his head so far up Trump's rear that he can taste the burnt steak Trump had for his last meal is see the letters T, D, and S strung together in the empty-headed attempt to politically attack somebody else. It's not smart. It doesn't win the argument. It is a clear sign that the person using these letters in this way is a sycophant for the current admin and should be avoided by every decent person on the fucking planet.

This user asked what was being protested. I made it clear what was being protested. I knew this user was not here to debate honestly or faithfully because it doesn't take any effort whatsoever to find the answer to this user's bad faith question. But I answered so it can't say the Left doesn't know what it's protesting. Denied that avenue, it drops some both-sides bullshit and then goes on a political attack.

I don't give a shit about what it thinks about my points, or where it thinks I got them from. It asked the question, and showed why other users here are calling it a Sea Lion.

I actually didn't use Gemini to compose my response to this person. I used it to figure out how hard it was to use. It wasn't and it pointed me to two more things I hadn't thought of when I made my own answer. My answer came from myself, and is basically what you said, but with more people. People want Trump and Musk's hands OFF their social security cheques. They want them OFF their paycheques. They want them OFF the services they rely on day to day, and most of them are not the takers that Team Red thinks all users of service are.

In your quest to make nice with the guy I'm calling out for his dickish behaviour to the rest of us, you implied I used an AI bot to compose my answer. To be clear, I did not. I just read the signs of the people standing around me. Thanks for that implication, though!

Not everyone can be reached, but I don't think no one can be reached either. It just takes the Dems growing a fucking spine, though, which is the harder lift, IMO.

I utterly disagree. For most people, the manual, wiki, or source code is undecipherable gibberish. For many others, it's an investment of time they may or may not have. Even I, a seasoned tech vet, sometimes just want to have something work without having to sit down for hours to make it work. If I have a problem, I reach out to the community to see if someone else has had the problem I have had so I can benefit from their hours of labour to find the thing that fixes the problem. Your RTFM is just noise to their signal, which I could definitely do without. Respectfully, in the theme of the post we're replying to. ;)

That's the hope, but I'd not plan for it!

Got it in stereo, even. Yep. I agree. That's why I put the 'if they are willing to take it' in. They most likely aren't because of what you cited in your reply, though.

Indeed. Hence my 'if they are willing to take it' bit. They most likely aren't.

Seems like the mistake here was surprising a judge in their courtroom.

This is a great article, more than just bait for "You voted for leopards eating faces and now you're surprised that a leopard ate your face" comments.

There's a great opportunity for Dems here, if they are willing to take it. Point out to the conservative little people that Trump's friends are the rich and powerful and the little conservatives will get nothing and like it. Highlight that Trump is hurting farmers so he and his rich buddies can get a tax cut. Remind them that the GQP doesn't care about people. It only exists to get stupid rich off of everyone's labour.

What might be being protested? Lesse....

• Late Social Security cheques for people who depend on them to pay their bills. This includes elderly and disabled people.
• Lost jobs and the loss of the paycheques for people laid off by both DOGE and the economic chaos the shitgibbon in chief is producing.
• People who have done nothing wrong being sent to a gulag in El Salvadore, and everything that entails.
• Attacks and erasures on people's gender identities. You won't care of course, but many of us do because after they get done with people they tag with the foreigner label, they're coming after transgendered people next, then after that, they're coming after the rest of us. We've seen this play before. We'd like it to end without going to World War 3 to de-Nazify us.
• Attacks on our friends in Canada and Mexico and Europe and so on.
• Increasing inflation.
• Decreasing opportunities.
• Unelected billionaires trashing our government.
• Naked Fascist displays.

I could go on, but I know you're not here to be enlightened. If you were, you'd just google that. I mean, I just used Gemini to give a report of some of the top reasons for protesting, and a comprehensive answer was presented to me in less than 10 seconds, so I'm sure you could go do so as well. Why might you not? Oh. Rule 3. I can't answer that. :|

(I missed a few things that Gemini picked up on. The imposition of an unpopular ideologue playbook on the country. Cuts to agencies we all rely on. Those were two things I didn't include. Goes to show there are even MORE reasons to protest, but I don't want to spend more time than I have on this dishonest debater. My point was made.)

Getting very 1984 up in here...
