It’s a strange thing to see people satisfied with themselves for protesting on a Saturday after months of planning. Don’t get me wrong, there was some good that came from the No Kings protest; like running on a treadmill instead of outside – at least you burn the calories even if you’re never really going anywhere.
As far as effecting any kind of change… I don’t see it.
Pithy signs don’t stop families from being broken up. Marching around cities isn’t stopping the GOP from gerrymandering the fuck out of the House.
And the government is no closer to opening back up again.
But at least we stopped bailing out Argentina and aren’t wasting hundreds of millions on tacky renovations of the White House or private planes Nazi Barbie.
Oh wait… that all still happened.
I guess my point is this: Americans need to stop being afraid of the V word.
Vi…tameatavegamin is the only thing bullies respond to.
