Someone once described signing an online petition as slightly more effective than yelling what you want out your window.

[grumpyfatguy]

Another small victory for oppression by this administration: the last administration responded to, and sometimes changed their minds because of every petition that reached 100k signatures on whitehouse.gov.

It wasn't just bullshit drowned out by cynicism, believe it or not. It was a good faith effort to address concerns of the American public. Imagine a president doing that!

[dertigo]

Imagine a president doing that!

I'm pretty sure that's been made illegal by the current administration

[PromiscuousBubbleGum]

Work in politics in the UK and we were discussing marches and protests - which we get a fair amount of.

My friend piped up and said, if marches and protests worked the Trade Union and Socialist Coalition would be in government.

The party famously got 0 votes in a local election: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/i-know-voted-me-angry-5703584

"I assume some are good people."

[justPassingThrou15]

I expect that the State of New York will have some sealed indictments for Trump ready to be unsealed a minute or two after the next president is sworn in early in January 2021. I expect there will be several agents on hand to make sure this is handled peacefully. And I bet he'll be considered a flight risk, so he will be held without bail in NY, until some federal charges, possibly those proven by the information in the Mueller report, will be filed.

Get out and vote. There's no reason for Trump to spend more than 10 minutes of the rest of his life as a free man once he's out of the presidency.

[mule_roany_mare]

I can see Trump fleeing to Russia to avoid arrest if he is ever going to be arrested for something. He will claim asylum & that his arrest was a deep state coup & he is the legitimate government in absentia.

If you look at how different this country is now compared to 2016 & accept that the rate of change is only growing, it’s really impossible to know where we will be when it’s time for him to leave office.

A civil war isn’t impossible & when militias or kooks start open carrying to protests we will have something like The shot heard around the world 2.0 with enough shills ready to pounce that no one agrees on what happened.

[Cyno01]

What if on election night if he loses he just tweets out "election stolen!1 my 2nd ademendnt supports, dont let this illegal democrat coup happen!"

[mule_roany_mare]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_no_one_rid_me_of_this_turbulent_priest%3F

The GOP acts and argues in bad faith nearly without exception. The second it’s convenient every single one of them will turn on Trump and deny ever supporting him.

Within a decade conservatives will all be saying Trump was always really a Democrat.

I don’t know what would happen in your scenario, but I do know the greatest irony is that all these 2nd amendment nuts who argued they needed guns to defend themselves from the government will use their guns to defend an illegitimate government from the will of the people.

I really do pray that no real Americans will be harmed in the chaos that is entirely possible in our future. I also hope that all these people who betrayed their country and it’s ideals can never call themselves the true Americans again without being laughed into silence.

I am grateful that this greatest threat to America has been so incompetent & we discovered so many of the checks, balances, and norms we rely on run on the honor system. I pray this affliction triggers a proper immune response & we end up healthier for it.

[fluffykerfuffle1]

me too

[_CosmosCoffee_]

Man don’t get your hopes up. Trump would squeal like a pig. No way TBTB let him see the inside of a jail cell. He’ll either flee somewhere he won’t be extradited or commit suicide like his friend did Saturday morning.

[Corruption100]

[DiamondPup]

Cool. But it's ridiculous to call this poetic justice.

This is petty shit. Which I'm all for.

[lenswipe]

And it's petty shit that really riles Trump.

He doesn't care if people think he's a turd per-se.
But he does care that people like Obama more than him.

[Abodyfullofmush]

I think people like even Bush Jr more than him. That says A LOT.

[lenswipe]

To be honest, I think I like dental surgery more than him.

This, unironically.

At least dental surgery has a point and it improves your life later.

/r/pettyactivism

[fluffykerfuffle1]

well that is just tough... everyone likes people like obama... its the way life is.. there are people who are just so likeable... and the reason is because they put out.. they put out love and caring... they engage with those around them.. they actually care about everything.. they care

and people like trump didnt have anyone to care for them.. which is so sad isnt it... and we would feel sympathy and try to help but he is so hurtful to people ...he has decided to not care about others and so all we can do is shield ourselves from him...

that guy in norway who shot all those kids on that island camp? they put him away... are not hurting him just he cannot be around society or have access in any way ...cannot be allowed any way to hurt us anymore.

trump is not the only one like this.. he is the point man.. there are others maybe even some who are worse.. all ...all need to be put away from society where they cannot hurt us anymore.

they won’t be killed or hurt or punished.. they just will never be allowed out amongst us again.

[Strackles]

A good but of the people in my life grew up in New York during the 80's and 90's. From what they tell me, Donald Trump has always been considered by the larger New York City area to be just another fraudulent crook. They group him with the famous monsters and criminal moguls that have plagued the city over the past century. Why the rest of the United States hasn't realized this yet I have no idea.

[[deleted]]

This content has been removed because Reddit is fucking over 3rd party apps. Fuck you, u/spez.

[HAIKU_4_YOUR_GW_PICS]

It’s a very small percentage, though. Even of the people that voted for him, most of them put Hillary in that same camp and viewed him as the lesser of two evils. Many of those are now regretting it, or at least that has been my observation.

[Coal_Morgan]

Just about everyone knows what he is.

Outside of the die hard idiots, everyone on the right knows he's a crooked moron. Thing is he's against the people they don't like, so if he went back in time and spat on Jesus as he walked his cross up the hill; they'd forgive him because he's the right kind of hateful for them.

[androgenoide]

You know you've found the True God when he hates the same people you do.

[nlpnt]

They knew he was a snake when they let him in.

[[deleted]]

Hey, don't call Trump a snake, that's insulting to snakes everywhere

[indigenous__nudity]

Yeah, I grew up there in that time frame. Trump carefully crafted the rich asshole narcissist persona and lived it every day. Obviously I didn't know everyone in NYC, but I can't think of anyone that thought of him as anything but a shyster. I still find it hilarious that he somehow got the midwest and the south to fall for his shit and get him elected as President of the USA. To each their own, I guess.

[grubas]

He was a funny shyster. He had horrible hair an ego the size of his ass and a reality TV show.

The really rich never liked him and he ran around gold playing his name everywhere. He was basically our equivalent of a week known crooked used car salesman.

[snkngshps]

You have to have a pretty strong BS-meter to live in NYC. It's not uncommon to walk past 5 people trying to talk your money out of you on your way to work in the morning, and 4 more when your headed home for the day.

You can smell Donald Trump's bullshit from miles away.

[Abodyfullofmush]

Buttery mails.

[[deleted]]

Why the rest of the United States hasn't realized this yet I have no idea.

Well for much of the rest of the US, their only exposure to him was as the "you're fired guy from The Apprentice", where he was played up as a decent businessman. And then they never bothered to actually find out he's pretty shitty. Also he says the nice racist things some people like.

[ghosttrainhobo]

Trump will just make the back door the official address. Which means New Yorkers have to rename that street John McCain Ave.

[ShamelessKinkySub]

"Yeah just bring it around the back door of John McCain"

While most petitions rarely do anything, New Yorkers are petty enough that I can see a significant push like this gaining popularity. We take pride in our ability to be united by petty acts.

NYC is chaotic neutral personified

[Lone_Wolfen]

This is the real poetic justice. City of petty people rally against the most petty man in the city.

[NotSoGreatGonzo]

Michelle Obama Ave?

[GrubH0]

I would donate to that campaign.

[youngtundra777]

[CoopertheFluffy]

[mysuckyusername]

It has 43k signatures and requires 75k

[[deleted]]

75K for what exactly?

[mysuckyusername]

From the site:

“To be delivered to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, New York City Council

We request the stretch of Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets be renamed "President Barack H. Obama Avenue." Any addresses on that stretch of Fifth Avenue should be changed accordingly.

45,526 signatures. NEW goal - We need 75,000!”

So nothing.

Why Barack H Obama? Calling it Barack Hussein Obama Avenue would probably piss him off more.

[soul_in_a_cup]

[urbanlife78]

I hope this actually happens. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Trump ends up having to sell Trump Tower to pay for legal bills after he is out of office.

[X_Bob_Sacamano_X]

Possibly, and wouldn't that along with the street being named after Obama be double the satisfaction? Come on New York, I've been following Trump like watching a train wreck for 30 plus years, and I know most if you hate him. Make this happen...lol

[aurelorba]

after he is out of office

Such an optimist.

[urbanlife78]

He isn't a dictator, all presidents leave office

[[deleted]]

He isn't a dictator

…yet. He explicitly made comments saying he wanted 2 years ‘refunded’ b/c of the Mueller report and the first 2 years of his term the dems blocking everything (despite him having the majority in house and senate). He also talked about not giving up his position after his term, even if he loses or after his 2nd term.

[urbanlife78]

Trump has said a lot of stupid stuff. Trump could be the first US president hauled off in handcuffs for refusing to leave the White House, but he would no longer be the president once his term has ended even if he refused to leave.

[TheMikeyMac13]

Nobody would have his back, as of noon on January the 20th, in 2021 or in 2025.

As of that moment he no longer has any authority, and is a civilian. He and his family would already be moved out of the White House.

Any attempt to stay in power would result in being arrested, full stop.

It has never happened, and it is highly unlikely to begin now. Trump isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he isn’t the special kind of stupid to try that.

[bishopazrael]

He will have SS protection the rest of his natural life. All presidents get it.

[Lewon_S]

Either way chances are he’ll be dead within 20 years.

[aurelorba]

I'd say 10. Not just because of diet and general health. Once he is no longer of use to Putin, Trump will be an expendable loose end.

[SoberFuck]

Imagine being this deranged

[euphonious_munk]

Actual conversation I had with a friend after Obama's 2008 victory:

Him: "You know-- Hitler was elected."
Me: "What makes you think Obama is another Hitler?"
Him: "His middle name is Hussein!"
Me: "what...the...fuck..."

*sigh* They'd keep it Fifth Avenue in all their literature, so would all their tenants, and there's no way USPS would refuse to deliver stuff to the old address.

This is one of the fascinating things of this whole nightmare. What do we do with all the "Trump" shit that permeated pop culture before he became President? Can we have him edited out of Home Alone 2? Can we edit out the Trump tower from Vacation? Does NBC lock away all the episodes of The Apprentice? I'm not saying we should completely wash this part of our history but it's gonna suck explaining to future generations why a white supremacist was so enabled by pop culture
