my lib mother wants to go to the NO KINGS protest tomorrow and I was opposed to bothering, but my friend (she's also my oldest friend's wife) also wants to go and hasn't ever been to a protest so I'm going to do it despite the whole thing being idealist stupidity. Neither my mom nor my friend has ever been to a real protest. My mom bought a plastic glittery red white and blue american flag cowboy hat. I'm gonna wear a mask because it's going to be the most embarrassing event I've ever gone to. We'll still probably get tear gassed by cop dipshits, too.

It's 2025 (so far) in a nutshell. I hope some historians in the future read your comment.
the tear gas is the best way to radicalize my friend and my mom so, let's gooo
Please make a post about it when you get back!
The protest in my town tomorrow is asking everyone to bring USA flags to show the chuds that "We're just as patriotic as them"
And i really, really just want to grab a bunch and burn them
Lmao I think I know where that is unless every American city is going through that. The stuff I hear from my family over there helps to remind me how bizarre US political awareness is.
It's one of those Indivisible protests that they're having a lot of places
I'm only going because one of my lib friends is cashing in a favor with me and I figure I can start sowing some seeds of discontent
"All these suburbanite voters thinks we're commies, what do we do??"
"I know, let's say we're re-embracing the flag (during some of the most widespread political unrest in years while our opponents have been doing this exact flag worship for far longer)"
These are the political instincts I expect out of that loser party
It's like if the 3rd Reich held the Stephen Colbert🤝🏻John Stewart Rally to Restore Sanity during the holocaust
Oh boy American flag lapel pins all over again
"Senator Asshole, what are you other Democrats doing to fight GOP fascism?"
"Hold on there - young lady, I have esteemed colleagues on the other side of the aisle. And I have had such wonderful Republican colleagues for decades. We need to work together to stop this thing. Now... have a look at my 'Fighting Trump' pin..."
I'm so tired.
I said that myself about an hour ago.
They do this every 4 years. As do the Labour party here in the UK. It has literally never worked.
I remember being scolded about this exact same thing at the Occupy protests
I hate the 'No Kings' shit. Bastards can't even follow through with it. It's always been, "No Kings, No Gods, No Masters."
Wow, this has never been tried before
Real "the showrunners have run out of ideas" vibe.
Ah yes this will finally make them see the error of their ways
Did I made a mistake? Should this be in c/slop? I wasn't sure so I posted it here.
Slop is for rando Twitter / Bluesky accounts.
Counter-suggestion: they all have a "come to jesus moment" and become republican's in name, too
I think they can take them over 
it's gonna be a big deal for metadata scraping / surveillance.
