Demonstrators have gathered in cities across the U.S. to protest the Trump administration’s early actions.

Demonstrators gathered in cities across the U.S. on Wednesday to protest the Trump administration’s early actions, decrying everything from the president’s immigration crackdown to his rollback of transgender rights and a proposal to forcibly transfer Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

…

The protests were a result of a movement that has organized online under the hashtags #buildtheresistance and #50501, which stands for 50 protests, 50 states, one day. Websites and accounts across social media issued calls for action, with messages such as “reject fascism” and “defend our democracy.”

    In Brazil, fuck off. American exceptionalism strikes once again, not everyone is in the US 🙄.

      This isn’t about you. The country with one of the most powerful armed forces in the world is about to turn fascist. If protestors can avert the impending catastrophe this might save us from WW3

        Sure, and because Americans believe they’re heliocentric, they can just ask literally the entire world to ignore their generalisations.

        How are you so self-important and haven’t drowned like narcissus yet?

          I am not from the USA (or any other part of the American continent for that matter). In a thread about protests against fascism in the US, taking place in the US, I think it’s fair to assume the “you” refers to US citizens. If there was a thread about Brazilian politics I would assume a similar post refers to Brazilians and that’s fine IMO. US exceptionalism is real and no doubt many US Lemmy users also fall into that trap, but this particular post just doesn’t seem problematic to me.

        Ah yes let me just “tune out” 90% of all posts and comments on all content on this platform.

        Disingenuous buffoon.

          I’m a disingenuous buffon yet here you are like a clown making a show you claim you don’t want to be a part of.

            Check the name of your instance and come back to me about clown shows.

            Far as I’m aware, the world isn’t the US.

      Just because you stumbled upon this doesn’t make this anyone’s fault but you’re own.

      Imagine planting a landmine, then stepping on it, then saying “who would do such a thing”

        You guys planted the landmine in your redneck analogy lmao.

        Oh and it’s “your”, not “you’re”. For someone who only speaks one language you sure are imbecilic.

          I would much rather have a typo from typing quickly than be an asshole. I think it’s clear who’s who.
