they are protesting literally Nationwide in front of every Capital in every state.
Okay I'll be blunt here: This is nothing and if this is Americans' idea of resisting then y'all are never going to beat fascism. Historians will look at this period and say there was very little popular resistance to Trump's regime.
It's easy to judge from the sidelines. We were suffering well before this guy was sworn in... Most of us are just trying to survive right now. We're eating into our savings and retirements, and/or getting second/third jobs, and/or paying off medical bills. We're just trying to get by and support our loved ones and friends after massive spikes in our cost of living, our housing costs, and out of control inflation.
You're welcome to come raise some hell outside the capital if you can afford that trip, though. No need to wait for others and scoff - you do it. Be the change you want to see. And if you think it's too expensive and far... Welcome to the same boat most of us are in here in America.
This is why people need to band together. Yeah, its a kind of socialism. Here we have protests in the capital city and organisations run subsidised transport so you can get there very cheap or even free if you can't afford anything. We're suffering too, support each other.
