I've been saying for years the good thing about a trump presidency is libs pretending to care again

Remember last year when dems were supporting deportations and expanding the wall?

Remember the picture of the Haitian immigrant being chased by a pig on a horse?

I'm glad there are protests now but they were needed then too. I just hope this sticks in people's heads

Brunch is over I guess. About time.

[-] stink@lemmygrad.ml 71 points 3 weeks ago

A year ago if anti-genocide protestors did this libs on reddit would be saying "it's just making people disagree with their movement!"

I wonder what they're saying now

[-] Sulv@hexbear.net 51 points 3 weeks ago

"I understand you want to make a point but roadways are important to commerce"

[-] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago

What if an ambulance

I wonder what they're saying now

Mostly stuff like: "it's just making people disagree with their movement!"

"This is what they want to declare marital law" basically if we growel they might stop doing what they are already doing and will do regardless.

[-] newerAccountWhoDis@hexbear.net 24 points 3 weeks ago

I wonder what they're saying now

Basically the same. They also miss US flags

[-] Sulv@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

Whatever happened to flying the flag of the government we are protesting?

[-] newerAccountWhoDis@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

How else will we win over the chuds?

Sorry sweaty, flattening demonstrators with an F350 on my way to Chili's happy hour is in the constitution

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 38 points 3 weeks ago

You joke but I think in several US States that is literally legal

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 15 points 3 weeks ago

Jesus christ, they could actually make an argument about "freedom of movement"

[-] MayoPete@hexbear.net 15 points 3 weeks ago

3 (bodies) for Me special!

[-] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 35 points 3 weeks ago

just go a different way lmao

[-] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 76 points 3 weeks ago

I'm glad that there are demonstrations this weekend. While I understand the critiques of just marching, it does at least boost morale

[-] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago

It's not technically just marching if it clogs a major freeway.

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 67 points 3 weeks ago

Let's fucking goooooooo

[-] Des@hexbear.net 63 points 3 weeks ago

noticing how their go-to now is to "deport them all"

so deport at this point just means "put in a death camp/murder" now right?

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 33 points 3 weeks ago

It's only good to block freeways if you are a gusano.

[-] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 38 points 3 weeks ago

r/PublicFreakout doesn't like this at all

Wouldn’t it be more effective if they flew American flags also? Protesting to stop deportation but flying the flag of the country they want to send you to doesn’t make sense to me.

I feel flying American flags would have more impact.

You know, this is why liberals lost and why we continue to lose. We refuse to try and understand our opposition and their feelings. Flying a flag of a different country and stopping traffic is not going to endear people to your cause.

The boot will come down, and I don't think we are ready for the fallout.

It's the best ad for Trump that he didn't pay for. Blocking traffic with foreign flags flying reduces sympathy for these people, and implies that Trump is correct that they don't belong. Protestors need to ask themselves what they want and how they can get it.

People’s livelihood depends on them getting to work, school, etc on time. All this does is piss people off who were on the fence with issues like this.

All I see are people flying a Mexican flag. If they want to counter the whole "immigrant invasion" narrative then maybe they should consider flying the American flag.

[-] newerAccountWhoDis@hexbear.net 27 points 3 weeks ago

I assume a good portion of those are concern trolls lol

[-] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 27 points 3 weeks ago

These ppl don't know history or what protests do or how they accomplish anything. :vote:

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 22 points 3 weeks ago

counter point: I see brave people blocking the endless parade of pedestrian killing petroleum chariots and clearly not flying the US flag and I find them very endearing and find myself wanting to learn more about their motivation and sympathize with their cause.

and then it turns out their cause is protecting people from door kicking fascist pigs doing ethnic cleansing and state terror against the working class, and I'm completely on board.

And they should all have AR-15s slung over their back. 'Murica
