Anti-Trump protests sprung up in the immediate aftermath of the election, and they are not going away. Having started on the 19th, a website called Refusefascism.org (http://www.refusefascism.org) has begun a call to action for "A Month of Resistance" leading up to the Inauguration.


Donald Trump, the President-elect, is assembling a regime of grave danger. Millions of people in the US and around the world are filled with deep anxiety, fear, and disgust. Our anguish is right and just. Our anger must now become massive resistance –before Donald Trump is inaugurated and has the full reins of power in his hand
Should we fail to rise with determination and daring in our millions now to stop this, the consequences for humanity will be disastrous. We, the undersigned, know in the depths of our beings, the catastrophe that will befall the people of the world should the Trump/Pence regime assume full power.
We therefore CALL FOR A MONTH OF RESISTANCE beginning on December 19th, reaching a crescendo by the January 20th 2017 Inauguration Day.
Our resistance must spread rapidly to every sphere and every corner of the country. Because we refuse to accept a fascist America, millions must rise up in a resistance with a deep determination such that we create a political crisis that prevents the Trump/Pence fascist regime from consolidating its hold on the governance of society


Now, a very vocal contingent here will dismiss these protests as left-wing whining. Some valid arguments will be made, and some less valid. Others will be eager to learn where these are to take place. Currently there are protest scheduled in NYC, LA, San Francisco, Houston, Cleveland, Chicago, Boston, Portland (Maine), Seattle, Atlanta, and more.

If you are among those interested, in addition to discussing here, you can check out their website, go to one of the protests (there are facebook event pages. I can help you find them if you wish. For instance, the LA protest page is here: https://www.facebook.com/e (https://www.facebook.com/events/226979761079904/?utm_source=UCLA+list+serves&utm_campaign=3a08f983e5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_29&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_db3c718ae2-3a08f983e5-)vents/226979761079904/)

Now, what do we think of this?

I think it's more than a little convenient that such protests are only popping up now even though Obama's policies have been just as "fascist" as any previous president's. Lest we forget, the NSA is spying on the electronic activities of every American absent any valid suspicion or probable cause. Sounds awfully fascist to me. And then there is the NDAA which authorizes indefinite detention of virtually anyone anywhere in the world without due process. Or Obama's war on whistle-blowers. Or his many new wars. I'm just wondering where all the concern over "fascism" was during the past eight years.

That's because he's soft fascist. The entire modern Democratic Party is soft fascist. They are the abused wife enabler. The GOP is the instigator, the abuser. And daddy just got the presidents stash...coke-meth, the meta - self absorption for cash.

Someone should tell these protesting retards that the election is over and protests don't decide who is president. Votes decide president. Why didn't these retards go vote for the one they wanted a month and a half ago? It's any wonder Obama ever got elected. It's becoming clear these retards know absolutely nothing about America or her political process.

Alas, I say let them cry and bitch and whine and pee their pants some more. They're only showing us who they really are.

Currently there are protest scheduled in NYC, LA, San Francisco, Houston, Cleveland, Chicago, Boston, Portland (Maine), Seattle, Atlanta, and more.

Now, what do we think of this?

I wouldn't exactly characterize it as "whining," but I would say that, at its foundation, it's really protesting against the collective will of the people as represented through our electoral process. And, that makes it odd. A bit odd. Counterproductive.

There is nothing to gain from these protests. No one will force Trump to step down. He won't do so voluntarily. So what is the purpose? Just to be seen?

Someone did a study, early on, in the days just after the election, and found that something like 70% of the protesters at that time had not voted in the election. I'm guessing the political breakdown would be similar in these latest protests. And, what does that tell us?

It tell us -- it tells me at least -- that the protesters are not interested in our electoral process or in the running of our nation nearly as much as they are interested in being associated with a popular cause. Bandwagon riders.

I understand the drive of the youthful to find their place in the world and attempt to establish their generation as one of change and value.

I just don't think this is an effective use of time. But, if any of them gain a bit of knowledge about our electoral process and what it means to be an American citizen, it can't be all bad.

I will, as you probably suspect, pass.

It faded away -- along with the Occupy Wall St movement that also faded when Obama took office. You could feel their confusion and resistance to becoming irrelevant -- but they had no choice. They protested on the belief that it was all GWB's fault -- the neocons -- PNAC. When Obama stepped up, although nothing changed, their focus was gone. Code Pink dwindled down to a handful of obstinates that went around kissing dictators, but the MSM no longer followed them.

We're getting ready to see a resurgence because that's all they've got -- a fierce need to tear down anything they think opposes them.

Problem is -- they're not bright enough to know what really opposes them. And so it's humorous to watch them flail about in all their colorful fury and outrage.

All this wild raging and whining about the election, the incredulous need for adults to seek professional counseling because they cant stop crying and are so emotionally distraught. SERIOUSLY, and these are not conservatives seeking mental help.
What these rioters like Code Pink, Occupy Wall Street, BLM and all the other ragers and those that demand YOU WILL COMPLY TO WHAT I WANT crowd, need to realize, no one gives a shit or gives a thought to you freezing your ass off, getting gassed and waterhosed by police when you go to far and threaten business and citizens. No one even gives you a thought during their day unless they see it on the news or glance at a headline in the paper. No one cares, except those that are so inclined and they dont change anyones mind.

Great way to articulate the mentality of these groups -- your emboldened words.

These protesters crave the attention and respect the protesters from the 60s got, but with their special brand of snow-flakiness, instead of commanding respect, society as a whole, rolls its eyes. They are hypersensitive and juvenile, stomping their feet and sticking out their bottom lips -- but, without a demonstrable cause -- they are silly and irrelevant.

"I don't like the president-elect" is NOT a cause. It's a middle school mantra.

Anti-Trump protests sprung up in the immediate aftermath of the election, and they are not going away. Having started on the 19th, a website called Refusefascism.org (http://www.refusefascism.org) has begun a call to action for "A Month of Resistance" leading up to the Inauguration.



Now, a very vocal contingent here will dismiss these protests as left-wing whining. Some valid arguments will be made, and some less valid. Others will be eager to learn where these are to take place. Currently there are protest scheduled in NYC, LA, San Francisco, Houston, Cleveland, Chicago, Boston, Portland (Maine), Seattle, Atlanta, and more.

If you are among those interested, in addition to discussing here, you can check out their website, go to one of the protests (there are facebook event pages. I can help you find them if you wish. For instance, the LA protest page is here: [/URL][URL]https://www.facebook.com/e (https://www.facebook.com/events/226979761079904/?utm_source=UCLA+list+serves&utm_campaign=3a08f983e5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_29&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_db3c718ae2-3a08f983e5-)vents/226979761079904/)

Now, what do we think of this?


I say let them protest all they want. The manner in which they protest exposes them as just a bunch of ignorant malcontents.

Listen to these people when they are interviewed. Maybe one in ten sounds like they actually have any kind of grasp of the issues.

Only recently did I open a Twitter account so I can see what he posts. I've yet to check. It hits the news instantly. I trust everyone from our old grounds and they all know my real name and location. I wouldn't betray any of them; by nature!

I remember just a year ago listening to Republicans whine that obama's Russian sanctions weren't stiff enough.
It's hard, almost impossible, to take you guys seriously.
Context counts. Had Barack Hussein O, the guy who pleaded for more time, so he would have flexibility, booted some Russian Intel collectors a year ago, it would have been a decent move. Three weeks before he leaves office it looks like what it is. Sabotage.

Jim, if you haven't figured out our system yet, I suspect it would be best for you to just let it go. A man has to understand his limitations. Some things are simply too hard for you to grasp.

I suppose we can assume you are just a crybaby. But you are also a radical Leftist. My starting position with you Jim, is that you haven't a clue.

Those covert activities didn't begin prior to the President's election eight years ago?
They did. This is not something unique to Obama by any means. But I distinctly remember a lot of protest activity during the Bush years only for it to drop off precipitously when Obama became president despite there being little substantive change in terms of policy.

I think it's more than a little convenient that such protests are only popping up now even though Obama's policies have been just as "fascist" as any previous president's. Lest we forget, the NSA is spying on the electronic activities of every American absent any valid suspicion or probable cause. Sounds awfully fascist to me. And then there is the NDAA which authorizes indefinite detention of virtually anyone anywhere in the world without due process. Or Obama's war on whistle-blowers. Or his many new wars. I'm just wondering where all the concern over "fascism" was during the past eight years.


Perfectly put. We have won one battle against blind partisianism , but we have not yet won the war. That will take many years. All you need to do is look back upon Bushbama. Bush made constant war, spent and borrowed like a gambling addict, handed out corporate welfare , federalized states rights and eroded individual rights and the repubs praised those actions while the dems scorned them. But the Obama came in and made constant war, spent and borrowed like a progressively worsening gambling addict, handed out corporate welfare , federalized states rights and eroded individual rights while the dems praised those SAME actions and the repubs scorned those SAME actions.
Perhaps the greastest study in the history of mankind on how fake, noxious and dangerous partisianism really can be.

You used the word retard as an insult three times in one post, making my statement relevant.

In fact, there's nothing funny about mental retardation.
No, the word retard isn't funny and neither is the left's role as language monitor in their attacks on free speech. Down with the r-word, p-word, c-word, a-word, z-word, and, worst of all, the f-word.

So, what is today's preferred word in LibSpeak for someone born stupid?

Pfffft. All YOU did was name call and whine about liberals in general.

But why did he bring it up? What was with the random comment about there's nothing funny about mental retardation? I was talking about the protesters. Then that happened. Now the whole thread is gone. Mine was the last post anywhere near on-topic.

Youre so full of yourself and self-indignation that you cant see how useless your own post was.

You'd expect the hypersensitive to get all worked up about the colloquial and informal use of the word "retard." True, it's not considered PC (especially) and in poor taste but as long as this non-issue can be used to derail a thread, they'll go for it.

Then why was it
A-okay for GCR to even use it in the first place?
