      It is a nice reminder that even with the military might of America, there are still a hell of a lot more of us.

      Lol, no you won’t. You’re americans, a majority of you voted for this while the other sat on their ass. Your pedo in chief controls the army, fbi, cia, and half of your population would have voted for him again even if he had raped kids on national TV (none of you cared he was Epstein best friend). What will you do exactly, any plans?

      USA citizens would trade democracy for 3 month free netflix and a bigmac. But don’t worry, it’s gone now lol, enjoy the trump dynasty for the next decades. US can keep letting their kids die in schools and big business control their healthcare and education systems. Keep kissing gafam and billionaires asses, meanwhile the rest of world will try to built something better, and we’ll always go farther then we would have ever would have with your under-educated nation as ally. You know what, we’ll consider selling you people “Platinum cards” in a few year, so you get the chance to experience democracy. Might be expensive tho.

      *Let’s all come back here in six months and see what americans have done about their little fascist problem. My bet: fucking nothing

          Lol, americans never misses an opportunity for products placement. Hail corporate. I’ll let you have the snickers, why don’t get a nice small 2 liters soft drink while you’re at it? And once you’re done, treat yourself by ordering something you don’t need on amazon, you deserve it!

        What did you say you have a boot in your mouth?

        Maybe stop trying to stick it so far down your throat and people will understand you.

    this is why it always makes me laugh when right wingers go on about democratic approval in congress. the approval isn’t because people don’t agree with left of centre policies; the approval is because they’re not doing enough to fight the republicans.

    Whoa, that’s amazing. I wonder if there is a compilation of all of the cities’ protests.

    There’s a livestream: https://handsoff2025.com/livestream
