Massive nationwide sprawling huge protests are underway by the Jacobins and it's beautiful
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/us/politics/anti-trump-protests-hands-off.html Mass Protests Across the Country Show Resistance to Trump
Demonstrators packed the streets in cities and towns to rail against government cutbacks, financial turmoil and what they viewed as attacks on democracy.
They came out in defense of national parks and small businesses, public education and health care for veterans, abortion rights and fair elections. They marched against tariffs and oligarchs, dark money and fascism, the deportation of legal immigrants and the Department of Government Efficiency.
Demonstrators had no shortage of causes as they gathered in towns and cities across the country on Saturday to protest President Trump’s agenda. Rallies were planned in all 50 states, and images posted on social media showed dense crowds in places as diverse as St. Augustine, Fla.; Salt Lake City and rainy Frankfort, Ky.
“Pouring rain, 43 degrees, biting wind, and people are still here in Albany in the thousands,” said Ron Marz, a comic book writer who posted a photo of the crowd at the New York State Capitol on X.
While crowd sizes are difficult to estimate, organizers said that more than 600,000 people had signed up to participate and that events also took place in U.S. territories and a dozen locations across the globe.
On Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, the protest stretched for nearly 20 blocks. In Chicago, thousands flooded Daley Plaza and adjacent streets, while, in the nation’s capital, tens of thousands surrounded the Washington Monument. In Atlanta, the police estimated the crowd marching to the gold-domed statehouse at over 20,000.
Mr. Trump, who was playing golf in Florida on Saturday, appeared to be largely ignoring the protests. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Some of the demonstrators waved American flags, occasionally turned upside down to signal distress. Many, especially federal workers and college students, did not want to speak on the record for fear of retaliation. Right-wing slogans like “Stop the Steal” were co-opted in defense of Social Security, medical care and cancer research “I’m tariffied. Are you?” one placard read. Global financial markets tumbled this week at Mr. Trump’s announcement of tariff increases, which many economists warned would raise prices for U.S. consumers. Republicans in Congress wrestled over budget proposals that included cuts to Medicaid and SNAP food benefits. Rob Ahlrichs, a Baltimore resident who attended the protest in Washington with his two sons and his wife, Katherine Sterner, put out a sign with a graph depicting stock market indexes plummeting that read, “Did you vote for this?” In Chicago, Marilyn Finner, 65, who works in customer service, said she had never attended a protest but that she felt compelled to take part on Saturday because she was concerned about threats to retirement benefits

“Eventually I want to receive my Social Security that I paid for,” she said. “I’ve been working since I was 13 years old. I’m fighting for my Social Security and everybody else’s.” The mass action, with the deliberately open-ended name “Hands Off!,” was planned at a time when many Democrats have bemoaned what they see as a lack of strong resistance to Mr. Trump. The president has moved aggressively to punish people and institutions that he views as out of step with his ideology. Don Westhoff, a 59-year-old accountant, was another first-time protester. He voiced outrage at the administration but had words for Democrats as well, saying they needed an infusion of younger leaders to oppose the president. “We want to let the elected Democratic officials know that good is no longer good enough,” he said. “They need to fight.” Multiple concerns prompted Katrin Hinrichsen to drive six hours from her home in Tolland, Conn., to Washington to attend. She held a sign with names of legal residents with foreign passports whom the Trump administration has moved to deport for allegations of antisemitic speech and gang activities. The rallies were organized by Indivisible, MoveOn and several other groups that led protests about abortion rights, gun violence and racial justice during the first Trump administration. Organizers said they hoped to shift the emphasis to pocketbook issues like health care and Social Security, with the message that Mr. Trump is making life harder for the average American while benefiting his richest allies. They also moved away from focusing on massive demonstrations, like the 2017 Women’s March on Washington, to instead plan hundreds of local gatherings in communities large and small.

The protests were sponsored by major corporations. Foreign countries and NGOs. The crowd of protestors were seen chanting for lower tariffs, better profits for businesses. gangs of men wearing dresses in women's restrooms, more MS-13 members, better access to illegal drugs. Additionally they set ablaze several city block, peacefully, fire bombed Teslas, and government facilities, peacefully cause only several billion in damage.

When Trump won in 2016 you were setting fires that night and "peacefully protesting" every day until his inauguration. Then 2024 happened and you all barely had the strength to get upset. I was actually missing the burning cop cars and people getting shot in the streets.

>>1399003 >Trumps fake "golden age" is going to be cut short and make room for the true golden age of America From the actual Golden Age of America that Trumptards can only imagine: the 1950s
'Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history'
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
The 1950s: when the top rate of tax was 91%
Whilst 'Reagan's Poodle' Conservative PM Margaret Thatcher was all privatization of all previously state-run companies, not even she dared to so much as think of touching the National Health Service, as she considered it a political 'Third Rail'. Touching that would result in electoral death.
But then, the National Health Service - whilst instituted by the Labour PM Clement Attlee after WWII, it was planned by Conservative PM Winston Churchill. Trump admires Churchill so much, he has a bust of him in the Oval Office. Along with the National Health Service planned by Churchill, he also came up with the Welfare State.
>Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance Decades later, guess who wants to gut Social Security?
>you would not hear of that party again in our political history Wise words by a President of the United States decades ago. I guess Trump should hire a taster whenever he presses that button in a box on the Resolute Desk calling for his next Diet Coke
>A Labour PM implementing that planned by a Conservative PM >A Conservative PM that went all wet for privatizing things, including the state-run rail network One of Sir Keir Starmer's campaign promises was to renationalize the private rail companies. That massive 400+ seat majority.
Gut social security, you'll gut the GOP Trump.
But at least your cultists welcome having their faces eaten by leopards.

>>1399093 While it's tempting to romanticize the 1950s as a "golden age" of America, we must remember that the era was far from perfect and was built on policies that aren't easily replicable today. Yes, Eisenhower advocated for social programs like Social Security, but he also presided over a period of economic growth that benefited from a unique set of global circumstances—post-WWII economic dominance, a booming middle class, and a relatively homogenous society. The challenges of today's economy, with globalization, automation, and an increasingly complex social landscape, require a different approach.
And while it's true that Reagan and Thatcher pushed privatization, the reality is that the political and economic context they faced was also vastly different. Reagan's era of tax cuts and deregulation was based on the belief that a free-market economy would lead to broader prosperity. In many ways, his policies reshaped the global economic system in a way that led to the growth of the tech sector, international trade, and increased global competition.
Trump's agenda isn't a direct attack on the principles of Eisenhower or Churchill but rather an effort to redefine what "conservative" means in a modern context. Trump’s appeal lies in his focus on populism, individual freedom, and skepticism of government intervention, all of which resonate with a significant portion of the American public. The idea that Trump's policies on Social Security or healthcare will "gut" the country ignores the fact that he has championed economic growth and job creation, which he argues are essential for the prosperity of ordinary Americans.

>>1399124 The 'Poundland Trump' - with equally retarded hair to match - Boris 'Bozo the Clown' Johnson: a Conservative who became PM with a 'Thumping 80 seat majority' on a wave of so-called 'Populism'. From then to 4th July last year saw that thing replaced by Conservative PMs Liz Surgical Truss (with the shortest time in No. 10: 50 days) and Rishi Rich Sunak. Then came Starmergeddon.
There were first time Conservative voters in the 'Red Wall' constituencies that saw Bozo the Clown as dead good. 4th July saw that thing and that which followed it as being dead. Good.
Gee, I wonder why Labour obliterated them just five years later?
Populism is dead. Good. Otherwise Rishi Rich would still be in No. 10 right now and not leave there like the drip it more than literally was in the leaky rowing boat that was Populist Conservatism on 5th July 2024, replaced by the new Labour PM with the sun shining on him. Make Politics BORING Again. Because so-called 'Populism' never had the right to exist in the first place.
If Starmer is supposedly such a bad thing for Britain as some retards claim, why did the electorate of that country vote him in with such a huge majority: and he's the diametric opposite of Populism.
Trumptards take note. Just as a previous 'Fuhrer's '1000 Year Reich' barely lasted twelve, yours will barely last two. The midterms. Revenge Voting. Not all Republicans are retarded inbred Trumptard cultists. How they were being affected before these tariffs. Give them one good reason why they shouldn't vote any way other than Republican in those midterms since those tariffs, MAGAtards:
And no, any & all of your retarded excuses/opinions not allowed: ONE good reason why they should vote for your Retard-in-Chief's continued political existence Anonymous
My boyfriend used to be a huge lefty but Voted Trump this last round, first time in his 40 years voting for a Republican. Everyone at his work was excited Friday for some protest and invited him(us) to go on Saturday. They don't know how he voted and he says telling them would make work toxic and he feels awful. His lefty coworkers I'm sure have no idea I'm a veteran of the meme wars or they would be agast and telling him to leave me. This stunt protest is such a joke

The amount of money that Soros paid these protestors is staggering. President Trump gave us the figures on X: Soros paid 5 million protestors $100 million each to come out this weekend. That's $500 trillion dollars just for one protest. This was the content of Trumps' post. I'm pretty sure even Soros doesn't have $500 trillion, but if President Trump posted it, then it must be true.

Friendly reminder that you got utterly BTFO with facts and logic in that thread.
Therefore it is now a conceded fact on /news/ that public schools are in fact run by leftists (like that screaming teacher) who are brainwashing kids to hate White males.
