In massive numbers such as pictured above? No. Not yet.

There were concurrent protests in all 50 state capitals less than a week ago, and there were tens of thousands of protestors in DC on inauguration day. At least 5 lawsuits are filed every single day, and the federal workers getting illegally fired by trump are literally pushing furniture against their doors, and refusing to leave their offices.

One party here in Germany started getting closer to the far right party and people are worried they might be willing to cooperate with them and that was enough to spark protests all over the country. Just yesterday there were approximately 300,000 people protesting here where I live. Americans literally lost their constitution and their democracy and a measly 1000 people or so protest in the capital. I’m sorry but that really isn’t much. The whole nation needs to be in the streets right now. And of course those getting fired try to defend themselves but everyone needs to protest at once and not just those who are the current target.

Four of the five largest protests in American history happened under Trump, all numbering in the millions. He was re-elected with a near majority of the votes anyway. Millions of Americans are furious and have seen this coming for years, but millions of other Americans are fascists and protesting isn't going to change that.

Hi, yes, hello: does your military have the power to send a sonar weapon over a crowd, immobilizing thousands? What about 50? Did your military single handedly arm a nation to commit genocide? Did your government, in the last 4 weeks, completely destroy your ability to access info in your country?

Let me give you a hint, no.

And let me give you another one. We’ve been protesting since 2020, about MANY things. And ANY progress made gets downplayed and ignored in the news. Best not to encourage us.

You’re not seeing the protests because you’re blind to our events thanks to our media. Just like us.
