protest: we will not tolerate tyranny

“If you lis­ten to talk ra­dio,
it’s ²⁴⁄₇
your coun­try is be­ing tak­en away from you.”
—Jon Stew­art on The Axe Files

Se­ri­ous­ly, this is get­ting fuck­ing bor­ing:

“You Lib­er­als would­n’t be okay with peo­ple protest­ing Sanders or Clin­ton.”
  Yeah, but peo­ple aren’t. So what the fuck does that tell you about your can­di­date?
 

“You are in­fring­ing on our First Amend­ment rights.”
  Your First Amend­ment Rights pro­tect your speech from the gov­ern­ment not pri­vate cit­i­zens.

-or-

“Amer­i­cans have the right to free speech.”
  We also have the right to stand against tyran­ny.
 

“If you hate him so much, just don’t vote for him.”
  Yeah, but what about the mil­lions of dis­en­fran­chised peo­ple who can­not vote, protest­ing is the best way they can ex­press their voice.
 

“Protest­ing only em­pow­ers Trump!”
  Does it though? Af­ter every suc­cess­ful protest, his num­bers have dropped in the polls.
 

“Lib­er­als claim to be tol­er­ant but you are be­ing hate­ful.”
  This one is so mind­bog­gling­ly stu­pid, I don’t even want to deal with it. No. Stand­ing against a dem­a­gogue whose rad­i­cal ide­ol­o­gy has in­spired vi­o­lence is not hate­ful you dumb id­iots.
 

“Let’s ig­nore pow­er dy­nam­ics and blame big­otry on not be­ing en­light­ened. State spon­sored vi­o­lence has no pow­er against hugs.”
  PUKE.
 

  And
The vast ma­jor­i­ty of Trump sup­port­ers see these protests as proof of their vic­tim sta­tus in our Cap­i­tal­ist sys­tem (they just re­al­ly do not un­der­stand how that sys­tem works).

Plus, a lot of this shit is com­ing from sis­sy­fuck lib­er­als who are as bad at ig­nor­ing sys­temic prob­lems and pow­er dy­nam­ics as The Right. Dis­sent is dis­taste­ful to them, so in­stead of stand­ing as an ally they are a 100% cul­pa­ble in the sys­temic fail­ures. They stand on their moral high where every­thing ex­ists in a fuck­ing vac­u­um.
