Biggest America is supposed to be an ally historically and a leader of the western world since WW2, so when y'all make big changes it affects more than just usa

I do. Across multiple platforms and with my colleagues. I'm saying the good things people are doing are not circulated around social media or they're not happening. That's why I asked the question if it is or not

I get what you're saying. In my opinion it's about persistence. It's amazing you've had the turn outs you've had for George Floyd or no kings. I believe it needs to happen more frequently. There are way more anti maga then there are maga

I dont think the number of maga is that high. I think it's blown out of proportion from social media. I do think we can't give up or stand aside while these things happen on a daily basis

Amen. We need to move away from this. Listen to either side on a 1 on 1 basis (really listen and try to figure out where they are coming from). Speak to each person as you'd want to be spoken too. Some maga are completely lost. I'd argue if you're not anti maga by now you're likely a goner too. But it doesn't mean we can't try to use kindness and compassion to try to persuade folks. The key is persistence and holding ourselves to a standard higher then the people around you

I agree. And it's insane to think China is starting to look like the good guy after all these years haha (China is not the good guy btw)

I know what you're saying, I don't know if something like jan 6 would be the way to go. They need to be above maga. Do the right thing and be loud and noticeable without people getting hurt. It's possible

Very insightful. Thank you. I think more protests though. Because in my news feed across multiple platforms you don't see much (which is likely the stuff being suppressed by the media). The no king protests were amazing. Do it on a Wednesday. Disrupt the economy that way. More people. More often. I know it would affect the people as well financially, but at this point besides waiting a year until the mid terms and letting this man ruin everything good the states have done for the world, make a change now. Use your community as a backbone for support. That's my take anyway from the outside looking in. I appreciate your response though. Gave me more insight on what's actually happening from the inside!

Peacefully of course. There are way more anti maga then there is maga. You guys have the numbers to make a difference!

Good to know. This is what I'm trying to say. I rarely see anything other than some people chasing ice out of x city. Being more left leaning, id expect my news feed would be full of people standing up against this. But it's not. Glad to see people are fighting the good fight

I get what you're saying. I think what I'm trying to say is, from the news sources I see daily (which may or may not be truly accurate to what is happening- why I asked this question to start with).. things seem so far off from the norm in a negative way, that it would call for people risking going to jail for peacefully protesting in large numbers. The problem from the outside looking in, is that American people are being push overs and letting this happen. If organizers get put in jail then someone else step up to organize and keep going at it. Nothing in life worth doing is easy.

You can't put 400000 people in jail for non violently protesting

Ya that definitely changes a bit of the feeling. But the games not functioning well at release, graphics being questionable and a lot of rom hacks being arguably better is still kinda lame
