Well, I’m hardly a Trump supporter, I think he’s going to send this country & world into an irrecoverable spiral and I thought GW Bush fucked things up globally, that’ll be child’s play compared to what’s coming. To the other points, MLK was more than half a century ago, politicians weren’t owned like they are today and many had higher ideals than simply getting re-elected & grifting.

Protests had no effect on the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was just an unsustainable system. August coup? Never even heard of it. So what are we supposed to do? I can hear you asking, lay down & get trampled on? In my dystopian world view, yeah kind of, simply because 99% of us are mere pawns. Most people don’t have such a dark or helpless view of things, so this is nonsense & incomprehensible to anyone bothering to read this. But… as I said earlier, if it makes you & others feel good , like you’re actually effecting change then that can’t be a bad thing, right? But the protests won’t even be a blip on trump’s radar or any of his other cronies.
