this is the face that broke the minds of every conservative and liberterian voter out there.
It’s the fact that he is black man.
that is the only reason. aside from the fact they will never accept a women as well.
What kind of marshal? A fire marshal? A sky marshal?
howdy boys
Yes and so strong was the belief with Republicans that Obama was going to hold citizens prisoner in Walmarts in Central TX that Abbott ordered the TX National Guard to oversee the Jade Helm training exercises. Insane that he is still Governor after taking action on such a ridiculous story.
The CIA later confirmed that the conspiracy theory came from the Russia and its propaganda machine.
wouldnt surprise you, if they all came from russia. qANON specifically was from russia the last i remembered. remember how social media got quiet when the ukrain invasion began, or last nov and december(luigi). and who funds the gop, right wing supremecist groups, and other far-right govt all over the world.
It’s always projection. Literally every single time.
I can’t help but wonder if this is how they beta test their plans. Accuse the other party of doing what they intend to do, see how people react, then adjust strategy accordingly and deploy.
That is part of it. It also helps muddy the waters. If you accuse the other people of doing the thing, and people recognize it’s bullshit, then those people are going to think it’s bullshit when they hear about them doing it.
“Pfft… martial law? No that’s what you guys are doing.” - MAGA
Classic Nazis.
Gaslight. Obstruct. Project
That explains the name “Project 2025”
That was the whole point. Now dipshits can counter with, “Oh when we warned you about Obama it was stupid. Now that it’s our guy it’s a problem.” It was meant to create a mess in a country without critical thinking.
It’s a reverse cargo cult. Postmodern conservatism. Reality as a team sport.
Their news is propaganda? All news must be propaganda! The facts aren’t on their side? Facts aren’t real! Their wooden helicopters don’t fly? The ones in the sky are a conspiracy! Surely everybody thinks this way, they tell themselves. They are the clever ones for noticing they’re full of shit. We idiots still believe things can be true.
MARSHALL
Edit: so cursed I didn’t even register they spelt it with a single L.
I wish Marshal would stop being such a jackass with his laws.
Marshall, Marshall, Marshall!
I just went searching for a Brady Bunch squares screenshot with Obama in all the squares. It doesn’t exist yet.
Marshmallow law
Yea, you know, the guy from Tekken, obviously lol
This protest was 3rd biggest in US history
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Kings_protests
Yet media didn’t Twitter or showed crowds before it even started.
Foreign media seems to also not cover it. Seems like all those billionaires owning media are this time on it.
as far as protests going, its much less efficient than when other countries do it. its too spread out to matter to people like trump, plus republicans wont do it, they would had a bigger impact if they protest with everyone else, but they love the “follow the leader, put your head down, dont ruffle feathers” type. nobody is willing to STRIKE over this, if at all, the country is too divided care.
the best way this wouldve matter, was quashed last year, with the railroad strikes.
August 25, 2025 : Trump orders Hegseth to form National Guard unit in each state to combat crime, protests
President Donald Trump on Monday ordered the National Guard in each state to create a quick-response force to quell protests and deter crime after using troops to assist with security during immigration protests in Los Angeles and patrol in Washington, D.C., as part of a crackdown on crime.
Good luck with your next protests.
EDIT: I just… fascism is taking root and encroaching more and more in every facets of the US every day, but you had a big protest once.
Cool beans, nice that you guys did a little walk, I hope the weather was nice and you had fun.
Are you going to do something about your fascists in power though?Aftermath
Another nationwide series of protests, described as “No Kings 2.0” and “Free America”, was set for July 4, 2025
‘Stop, or we’ll say stop again.’ (except we didn’t even do that much)
That’ll definitely end the fascist dictatorship that’s taking over America.
I’m glad that many people managed to get together and speak up, but it’s woefully insufficient.
That’s how communism was overturned in Poland.
That’s also how color revolutions happened, including orange revolution in Ukraine and Euromaidan. That forced Russia to proceed with actual invasion.
The thing that absolutely doesn’t help is apathy and “activism” on social media.
It is absolutely not how euromaidan happened, kind of the opposite of that actually.
Euromaidan had two very distinct characteristics that helped them to succeed - self-organisation and persistence. They had tangible achievable goals, demands that everyone knew and agreed upon, and they didn’t stop the protest ever, not when the fighting started, not when the police snipers started shooing at them.
What the US is doing is more of what Russia was doing from 2012 to basically 2022. Series of more and more numerous protesters where some random people said some vague platitudes and tried to shame the dictator into disappearing, and despite every protest being bigger than the last, in the end it achieved absolutely nothing. Just like random protests in US achieve absolutely nothing, mainly because there isn’t even something to achieve by them.
A protest is a tool in a toolbelt of people’s resistance, but alone it can’t do shit, you need all the other tools, and more importantly you need a metaphorical builder to actually use the tools.the us method, is just people protesting for the sake of protesting. they wont fully commit to escalate the issue. i would say the most effective was a strike, by the railroad workers, it was enough to scare the elites and the whole congress. but that was a different issues, are people willing to do this again.
Or maybe your read on the history is wrong.
Doesn’t it seem strange?
Those protests were peaceful. It was government used violence against people and that only made more join.
Peaceful, in a sense, but extremely disruptive to business as usual and so the government reacted with violence.
The so-called “no kings” protests were organized specifically to not disrupt business as usual. They weren’t just peaceful, they were passive. Friendly. Neutered. They were not intended to provoke a violent response (because people weren’t ready for violence yet) and that’s why they failed to accomplish anything. My observation of history is: if your protest doesn’t provoke a response it’s essentially worthless.

What’s insane is the organization isn’t calling for any more nationwide protests. The city next to mine has had no calls for protests since then. Just dead silence. I was hoping there would be a protest that size every Saturday to get people comfortable with going out and organized. But no, we get to happily go to one protest once every 3 months if we’re mad enough.
There are next big one is this Monday. https://www.fiftyfifty.one/
There are also local ones that are happening all the time, you can’t find them on https://mobilize.us/
Which is why your suggestion iiiiiiissss . . . ?
Do the protests, but during a work day, together with a general strike
Well, on the calmer end of the spectrum there’s things like a general strike or Federal tax boycotts. On the more extreme end you haul out the gallows and support civil war. None of these are fantastic solutions, they all have their own issues, but it’s not exactly a ‘neat and tidy’ problem you’re facing. Things are going to get messy either way, they already are.
I’m not going claim to have all the answers to Americas problems, but I can at least recognize what’s not working. Something needs to change, because the current trajectory is catastrophic.
Certainly not to brag about your failure and act as though a few weekend sign-waving parades means that you’ve done all you can.
Ironically, fox news created the “tea party” out of the OP hullabaloo and that went on to be MAGA. But billionaire media properties FOR democracy? Mmmno.
The tea party had already joined back up with Republicans by the time of the Jade Helm panic. The tea party movement started around 2009 and Ted Cruz (who was prominent in the movement) won a seat in the senate as a Republican in 2012. The Jade Helm panic was in 2015.
Organizers estimated
Apart from this, the issue is also that that’s not that many and it was very clearly controlled opposition. Most events even in big cities were smaller than the attendance of a high profile sports match. Much fewer than you might find at a music festival. Combine that with the compliance with pathetic protesting rules and utter lack of outcome, what exactly do you think was going to be publicised? Literally 10 times the largest No Kings protest attended a Lady Gaga concert a month earlier.
Spending six weeks trying to organise 2000 simultaneous protests, with an average attendance of 2,500 people at each, while Trump spent that six weeks absolutely ravaging the US democratic system, is the most US Democrat nothingness possible.
BS I was in a smaller city and was so many people that few blocks of street were blocked.
And this was during the time trump deployed troops in LA, and assassination of politicians on the same day.
which amounted to nothing but being used as the conflict against trumps parade for engagement. it was dropped out of the news cycle two days later. No leader, no goals, no demand, no threat, no leverage, no outcome.
it was the epitome of virtue signaling, and feel goods. but accomplished nothing, and i worry it accomplished worse then nothing because it placated a bunch of people who thought they made a difference. i was there and i participated in the hope i would be proven wrong about my doubts only to have them proven.
Marshal law or martial law?
Marital law.
Maritime law
Ah, a fellow traveler.
i’ll stick with bird law
Tree law.
Oh shit, game over

Their own fear is what gave them the idea, because that’s what they’d do.
This is like the grown-ass-country version of being afraid of your own shadow and then stapling your dick to your leg.
more like startled by thier own fart, like a dog would.
Every accusation is simply a confession in plain sight.
I don’t know how they keep up with all the conspiracy theories.
That’s the fun part! You don’t have to!
Heck with Qanuts it doesn’t even have to be understandable!
Me me me me me. I do. I remember.
It’s so wild that Americans are just letting this all happen. I’m surprised we don’t have more blatant suicide bombers yet. We have the ones they play out as mentally ill but they haven’t been labeled as insurgents yet
TBH most people are clueless, or at least “distracted” by more mainstream feeds and news. The panic you see online isn’t really representative of the average citizen here, but neither are MAGA diehards on Twitter.
Same with a lot of Republicans, specifically. I know some who don’t ‘like’ Trump and the more visible antics, but really hate Democrats, and everything is just kinda ho hum. They think I’m nuts when I start pointing out some of the more drastic signs.
Others do, unfortunately, watch a lot of Fox and would say he’s doing thinks ‘for the good of the country’ albeit very reluctantly.
In other words, I’m not surprised.
people are too CONTENT,a nd complacent with thier tiktok, youtube, and influencer feeds to care about politics.
Propaganda. This is why they’re using a war criminal to feel better about themselves.
