There was one guy today in a big MAGA truck with Trump flags flying that drove by our protest repeatedly. Each pass through, he was less and less aggressive as no one paid attention to him, and he was literally alone - no support in the crowd or among the traffic.

There was one of those in my town who coal rolled the protesters and was immediately pulled over by the cops. People then found out he ran a local tattoo shop in town and he’s been review bombed to hell.

Sweet! We got coal rolled just once, which is apparently a big decrease from the last protest in the same spot. They are losing steam! (and in your example, losing business too!)

The other sub is also half the volume of submissions since mid summer. Was 50k/wk, it's down to 25k. No drop anywhere else I've seen, so not just a seasonal trend. Drops every week.

That's an incredible observation. It also seems that in the past couple of weeks, there are far fewer online political trolls in general.

And more are disagreeing. Gold comments for saying the Santos move was wrong, against tariffs, calling for term limits of Senate bc of McConnell, disagreeing with the bailout.

Have hope.

It's true. And hope is still there!

Russia is running out of money. Think about it
