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.
 

Also this. 1000 times this:
