So can anyone explain what the protests are about?

[justoffal]

Don't lie. You saw. Don't lie.

Lol..... Well if I did and I don't remember it then it's time to go see the doctor....
I already made some crazy math mistakes today that I would never have made a few years ago. Uh-oh

You see most are old...

Yeah ....I know....so you think they're all on SS and Medicare?

Aside from the fact that you got a bunch of fancy pictures from helicopters that look impressive but really represent less than 1%... Some signs that say hands off..... And a few people saying that democracy is being dismantled.

Like the rest of the Democratic party there's no message. There's only anger and shouting.

Are they marching against honesty?
Are they angry that fraud is being exposed?
Exactly what is it that they are protesting?
Does anybody even know?

Now maybe some of them have taken hits to their 401k accounts in the past few days...that I can understand.
But but the stock market goes up and down all the time.
You don't lose anything unless you sell. Anyone who uses the stock market understands that it goes up and down and sometimes you're better off to wait. The increase curve/vector for the market over the past 50 years is almost 45°. Warren Buffett doesn't seem nervous at all...

So now we have the Democrats with no message except orange man bad... And a couple million protesters stuck in the same unmessaged rage. I mean honestly it's like an empty billboard.

It would be a lot more effective if they actually had something to say. Don't you think?

Hands off, the Fraud and Abuse. What a bunch of ignorant buffoons

These protests were going to happen regardless of anything Trump did... lets just be honest about it...
These people hate Trump... they can't tell you why they just do...
In six months when prosperity strikes again like in Trump's first term they will just find something else to freak out about...

Hopefully they didn't pull out another lab virus.
I will never wear a mask again.

 

[Billiejeens]

So you think the protests are about the market?
I didn't see any signs on that subject. Markets go up and down all the time this one was overdue for a correction after that it will do what it usually does bounce back up.

With a stronger economic base.

 

[Billiejeens]

WOW! Dow futures are 1600 points down tonight, on top of the over 6000 points down in recent weeks. Even mutant maga-cult members can now see the gravity of the situation, America is done, all thanks to the dumbest, president ever, trump, in addition to be a convicted rapist criminal. I guess that's what we deserve

You are childlike.

I know someone who went to one of those protests. I asked her what her reason was, over text.

She said her main reason was because she believes due process is being bypassed. She said that SOME of the deportees "are not illegal, drug lords, or criminals"

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just relaying what she told me since you asked the question.

But I will say this. IF (keyword IF) there is any truth to that, then that point about due process isn't (or shouldn't be) a partisan issue. Due process is extremely important because whatever power we give to the government now can be used against any of us, in the future, if the wrong person gets in power.

Good for her that she can articulate a valid reason.
Rare I think.

They don't even know what they are protesting about I mean we just had Cory Spartcus Booker talk for 25 hours and say absolutely nothing.

If you have a brain this video will explain your question.

A Dem from Cali ? Have you seen what the Dem's have done to their state?

~S~

My wife asked me this question. I said they were over "Trump being a dick". She said, no what did he do to cause the protests? I said, really, they are over Trump being a dick.

Nice attempt at being obtuse.

 

[Moonglow]

I think they must be protesting the end of taxes on tips and social security?

Which has not happened

 

[Mac1958]

Another thread started on the subject... by you.

Threads like this demonstrate how little knowledge they have of people who aren't exactly like them. They hide in their little world, absolutely insulated, and have zero (0) understanding of the life experiences, perspectives and priorities of others.

Few know and even fewer care.

It's nothing more than a massive exercise in virtue signalling that isn't going to accomplish anything.
