That depends? Does the riot involve invading peoples' homes, dragging them out of their beds, beating them, raping them, killing their loved ones, destroying everything they own, publicly humiliating them and sending them to concentration camps to do slave labor before being sent into gas chambers to die?

war's over steve, it's time to go home

History will repeat itself. People of different genders, orientations, races, skin colours, religions and languages are in danger. Nazis are marching in America and taking over traditional media. Trump passed a law allowing drivers to run over protesters.

Trump declared war on the people.

You are an idiot... None of those things are happening! I'm fine. My mom is fine! Most of the gay people that use this site are fine... unless they want to marry, but that's besides the point.

Don't be a retard.

Ayy I'm a little late to all of this but if you actually think Trump is trying to ban abortions then you obviously haven't read anything about what is going on rn. Trump wants to defund Planned Parenthood. What does this mean for abortions? Well it means that they are still legal, women cans till get abortions, but taxpayers will no longer be paying for them. It's illegal for taxpayer money to fund abortions but the government has been illegally allowing this to happen by funding Planned Parenthood and indirectly paying for abortions. Trump doesn't want to make abortions illegal, he just doesn't support them. I don't want to make abortions illegal but I also don't support them, so I'm glad my money isn't going to be used to fund them anymore.

As a woman, there is no war on women. These protesters are bandwagon babies who don't understand how the real world works. I couldn't have gone to the march even if I wanted to because I have a job, and responsibilities. (': Trump's first executive order has helped people. He has taken away the incredibly large fine set it place by Obama that forced people to get healthcare. You're not going to hear praise for that though, because that doesn't fit the narrative that Trump doesn't care about non white poor people.

Doesn't Planned Parenthood help a lot more with treatments and diagonists than abortions, though?

Again, non-US person, just talking off of what I read on the internet.

What you have now is just a vocal minority of hateful people, but that's something we've always had and they're slowing dying off anyways.

Uh, no he didn't do either if those things? I might not like the guy, but holy **** you are so far-left that it isn't even ****ing funny anymore, tbch.

They do, and it's great that they do. But Planned Parenthood gets a lot of money from private funding, over half of the money that they make comes from private funding and miscellaneous donations.

Trump just wants to stop funding them and instead put that money towards other organizations that provide these things for women without also providing abortions, so that way no laws are being broken.

Oh, ok, thanks for the clarification.

Yeah, he can't stop abortions. Roe Vs. Wade made that very clear.

Okay, but can we talk about him proposing import tariffs on companies not producing in the US?

Can we just stop for a moment and realize that the relationship between Donald Trump and the press is going to make the one between Nixon and his press corps look like the greatest love story told in the history of mankind?

I mean damn American journalists, could you at least, make an attempt to not clearly show how much you hate our President? You're not doing yourselves any favors here. <.<

He is our president already I don't know what anyone thinks protests are gonna do! "Oh these people are angry so we should just impeach the president who rightfully won the election!"

It worked for Brazil... For better or worse. Doesn't matter if it's won fair and square, yell enough and someone will find some dirt under the carpet to gain the crowd's approval in taking a politician down a few pegs.

A lot of people are asking what even is the point of these marches, and I asked myself that as well before, but I think I'm starting to get it.

While a lot of people will probably tell you it's because Trump is a woman-hating dictator, I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and think that's not why. But that it's dissatisfaction with the government as a whole (including the much more nefarious Pence) and a demonstration that shows they will not take future acts lying down. That if they try to cross the line people won't just blindly accept it.
And it also demonstrates to the world that the US is NOT happy with who their president is. All too often it's easy for foreigners to regard Americans as overly patriotic, xenophobic/racist, conservative, and just downright stupid (which was even easier to throw the accusation of when our president was W.). It's easy for the world to look at our election results and feel that we willingly selected Trump because he is a representation of what America strives to be. These marches send a message that it's absolutely not the case and it's not what we want to be, and we will fight any of the more aggressive acts he or others try to push through.

At least, that's what I want to think.

You mention they're privately funded but wouldn't defunding Planned Parenthood lead to massively higher costs for their services? Costs that many people may not be able to afford? This area goes back to the age old discussion of health care, which I also think government should be stepping in to help cover the costs for (because god knows if I get into a freak accident and lose my arm, my family won't be able to afford the medical bills that'd be shafted to me).

Additionally, leaving abortion rights up to the states can be damaging, as don't some states employ horribly manipulative and almost abusive tactics to guilt women into the already difficult decision they're making?

Those claiming to be pro-life should be 100% pro-life as in stopping fetuses from being aborted, allowing children to be vaccinated and save the environment to the make planet livable for children but that will never happen.

Whenever you use a sad, petty gif, you only hurt your own cause.

Also, yes, he is actually doing a "manhunt" in that he is going through the major blue states to look for voter fraud. Ah voter fraud, something less likely than a shark attack in a place like Florida. And the fact that he's only going to the big blue states and not anywhere else is especially telling. He wasn't going to win there anyway, why bother?

Not to mention the fact that keeping up the voter fraud thing when you won is really pathetic. As well as the fact that GOP is

The entire GOP has done some attrocious things recently. Trying to cut the Endowment for the Arts, silencing the EPA and the National Parks. Trying to gerrymander the electoral college in Jersey. Making an actual border wall which will cost billions, cutting immigration from Iran, which is an ally and a place where literally no terrorists have come from. He also signed that people can come to the country if they're religiously persecuted, but only if they're the minority in the area. Just another concession towards Christianity that doesn't need to be made in the first place. Allow everyone or no one, don't make an exception just for the people you like. Christianity has already ruined much of the government in our country, what with the sad, pathetic evangelicals trying to hurt my beautiful people. Actually wake up instead of white knighting him.

Filthy Frank is also annoying and overall unfunny. Loud and obnoxious wins you no favors in an argument.

come to think of it, i don't know any anti-vaxxers for trump.

thats just my experiance tho

Trump also gave the go ahead on building the Keystone Pipeline, which will cause unquestionable environmental damage and set back progress several years.

He also backed out of the TPP which may be considered a positive.

can't believe I forgot about the DAPL, which is not only inhumane and could ruin the lives of people and animals, he had an investment in the pipeline in the first place, which is deeply distressing.

Yeah... it's amazing what one can do as POTUS in a few short days when he or she has majorities in both houses of Congress, 33 of the 50 state governors' seats, and a currently 4-4 deadlocked Supreme Court (but one which will soon favor conservatism anyway). Which just makes it all the more unbelievable. Trump and "his" party control the feds and most local governments and it's going to stay that way until at least 2018. So they could afford to take the time to make more detailed plans for their crazy ideas and even get them passed into actual laws (as opposed to executive orders which only binds governmental employees). But Trump's an impatient man, so he is (quite ironically) going the executive order route after he bashed Obama for using them during the second half of his term.

Luckily for everyone in DC, recall elections don't exist at the federal level. <.<

Trump also installed a new FCC Director who's strongly against net neutrality and in favor of ISPs spying on you without asking permission or even letting you know.

So the fight for net neutrality starts over.

You're misinterpreting.

And the good that we do tends to get overshadowed by the bad.

I guess can understand why people originally thought it was funny but I never found it funny in the beginning and that feeling remained consistent through out. At times, I nearly caved into giving him the benefit of the doubt but then later he says something so insane, I was immediately like NOPE! My feelings were reinforced.

Perhaps I'm averse to the idea because I don't want to ****ing die?

People who hate humanity and want a mass extinction event to come about and "wipe out the stupid people" seem to often forget that they will be included in the event and will be killed instantly. That no matter how much they want to smugly act it, they are not above the rest of humanity. That eruption happens, the after effects will choke my city and kill me with it. And I'm sorry but I'm not quite depressed enough to be perfectly satisfied with dying just so I can fulfill a fantasy where all the others come with me. There is no point in wishing a mass extinction for a "better world" that you will never get to see.

Humanity and the future can be a beautiful thing that is capable of wonderful things. It's just the unfortunate circumstances that those in power become corrupt and greedy, and put forth actions that the general populous may not want, manipulating them into hating people they're told to be afraid of and so forth.

I thought it was a joke,but ok.

But the way humanity is putting the world in, we might go happily, but the next generation is gonna suffer a fair bit because it's almost too late to change the scale of destruction. That's not bringing into account the rest of life on Earth and how much irreplaceable **** is going to die before anyone can do anything about it.

Hi Striderswag! You're so cool and I love you! Have a marvelous day!

I don't undertstand the notion that humans are any worse than anything else that can potentially damage the planet. Surely we're better than, say, if the planet exploded or was completely obliterated by space debris or whatever. And we're ultimately the planet's best chance at surviving such a catastrophe, so it's in the planet's best interest to keep us around.

Even if we don't end up colonizing other planets, I hope we at least eventually invent gundams.
