After the biggest anti-Trump protests since the 2017 Women’s March, many major media outlets seemed intent on downplaying the size and significance of the massive demonstration of opposition.
The Hands Off! protests took place on April 5 in 1,400 locations across the country, with solidarity rallies in Europe and Canada. Volunteer organizers said the events were aimed at opposing billionaire government and corruption; cuts to Social Security, Medicaid and other vital programs; and attacks on immigrants, trans people and other vulnerable groups. At a conservative minimum, hundreds of thousands of people turned out to resist the Trump administration’s many assaults on democracy; organizers estimate the total reached into the millions.
While it would be nice for the media to share, we can’t force them. We don’t own them. That’s why we need to share it. That’s why we need to take pictures of the crowds, show evidence that millions show e up.
I think you misunderstand one small part of that powerful military - we’re so blended in this country, you can’t just bomb rebel strongholds because your own supporters are there too. That may be acceptable in a small part, but then his supporters get pissed off.
We also massively outnumber the military. The Navy can’t do much on the inner united states.
If there is one thing any powerful organized military will always struggle to fight against, it’s guerilla warfare. Improvised weapons are particularly devastating because they’re unpredictable. We’ve seen how effective the “force multiplier” aspect is in theaters like Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s essentially not.
