I’m shocked that I haven’t seen one protest yet. Is the media suppressing them? If there aren’t any, why?
There are but its a big country. Not everyone can walk on DC.
It’d take me over a month to reach DC if I walked there.
We have an extremely effective propaganda system. There are protests. My partner shows me on Instagram videos. But most people are complacent or defeatist (because of the propaganda system since childhood).
There are. Heaps of them.
The US is just a big place and very spread out. And the ruling government and its media conglomerates are trying to keep them out of the media.
There absolutely are not. There are anemic little marches scattered here and there.
Americans were protesting George Bush in 2004 more forcefully and in vastly larger numbers than they are protesting now.
Apparently there were about 375,000 people protesting the Iraq War in New York in 2003 compared to about a million people marching for women’s safety in 2004 in DC
In the years since there have been about 5 protests the same or much larger than that. In 2017 2.3 Million people protested the Trump inauguration, and protestors also showed up for Trump’s 2025 inauguration which was held indoors for reasons including harsh snow. The exact number estimates for the 2025 inauguration protest and the 50501 protests are unknown at the moment, but it is occurring in all 50 states which is comparable to the George Floyd protests.
Where are you getting these numbers from?
Various articles
Ah, the MAGA defense.
So you jut don’t believe that protests exist unless they all signed a sheet when they got there?
No I mean provide sources for your claims, otherwise you sound like a MAGA person saying “Just trust me bro I saw it on facebook.” Making a claim and then saying “various articles” is vague and dismissive at best, where did you find these numbers? Facebook?
there are pretty significant protests in recent months. Tesla, the federal government, unions etc. It’s just that nobody really care about them with all the funny shit happening in the federal government right now.
Realistically, they also won’t do much, so you’ll have better reach doing more traditional on the ground campaigning anyway.
Just went to one for vets against the VA cuts and haven’t heard shit about it since
vet’s have literally no administration pool to serve them right now im guessing, even if they did protest, it would probably just lead to the VA going 🤷 because they literally don’t have the people to do that work.
There’s been a lot of protests. How massive is mass is up to you though.
Although, a lot of people really like the way things are going, and a lot of anger is just terminally online bozos who don’t even live in America.
There are, they are being reported. I couldn’t speculate as to why you are missing them.
Can you provide 3 links to different protests?
Not being snarky. Just haven’t seen any reporting on it.
Ahh… THAT is the difference.
In the US, most of the media is complicit in what’s being protested. And online social media coverage is being contained to small bubbles.

Represent baby!
Check out @[email protected] posts. They are posting pictures of grassroots protests across the country every day. Like has been said, there hasn’t been THE big mass protest, but there is constant local activism and protest, just mostly ignored by media.
Glad to hear my posts are going noticed. Indeed, there are lot more than you might think. I’ll repost one of my long comments with details about protests here. Wrote this five days ago so mentally subtract 5 days from all the times
They are being suppressed in media coverage, but there are people protesting. Media coverage paints a false picture that no one in the US is fighting back
Here’s one from today [meaning five days ago] with 1000 people in Boise, Idaho
Here’s a super incomplete timeline with just a handful of the nationwide protests. I’m missing a lot, I’m just showing your the photos I had from recent memory
8 days ago there were national protest for science funding cuts. Here’s the main one in DC
11 days ago there were nationwide protests in all 50 US state capitols + DC + Many cities within those states. This was part of the 50501 movement
Portland, Oregon
Monroe, Wisconsin
San Fransisco, California
Albany, New York
Raleigh, North Carolina
Richmond, Virginia
Austin, Texas
Protests Outside Fox News in New York City
16 days ago there were large protest in the Iowa Statehouse
19 days ago, a protest in Cherry Hill, New Jersy outside Tesla Showroom as part of a nationwide movement protesting Telsas. There have been tons more than just this one and these happen basically every day
21 days ago, large protests in DC for Ukraine aid
And so on. There’s a lot more going on than just this
What are they doing that isn’t easily ignored?
Thanks for documenting and posting all these. Keep at it. I appreciate your coverage.
There are. And from what I know, apparently the media avoids reporting about them.
Some states also have laws that allow drivers to run over protesters
What the fuck America?!?
Well yes, media was one of the first pillars of democracy to be captured.
Because Americans are by and large complete cowards.
Your mom’s a coward!
Low density and car based infrastructure neuters protests. I usually work from home but I had jury duty a few weeks ago in the courthouse in my downtown area. There were several protests daily the entire time I was there.
There is a qulitative change from protest to resistance needed.
Loads of people in this thread saying they’re happening but media not covering them…
I don’t think that’s really what is meant by “mass protests”. In the not so distant past I would have thought every american man woman and child would be weeping in the streets at the corruption and despotism.
There are protests, and maybe they’re not being covered, but it’s not the type of civil unrest I would have expected honestly.
Europe has roughly the same land mass as the United States and less than half the population. The population density and urbanization is even lower.
So for the USA it’s actually quite a bit to have protests of hundreds in smaller towns and state capitols.
Major cities can muster the large groups, but the consistent and widespread nature of the protests should not be discounted.
Incidentally I am also not seeing counter protests or demonstrations of support.
The media is definitely covering it. If your media sites don’t cover it, block that media site and follow one that does.
That’s… not really what I was getting at.

They’re caging and chaining up perfectly innocent people. When do they start calling regular citizens terrorists and start arresting us in mass?
deleted by creator
Nope. Legal residents. Like that guy from Columbia. He’s being jailed for having an opinion that MAGA dislikes.
Guess I haven’t heard about that one.
Would you like a link?
Yeah, I’ll read it.
one reason is literally fear, the side that they’re fighting against literally has all the guns and the psychopaths.
I dunno about you bro but there’s a protest every other day in Denver. We’re getting there.
The question is how Dumbfuck will respond. There’s an unverified rumor the Insurrection Act may be invoked on April 20th owing to an executive order signed on January 20th. If it gets to that point, we will find out how far our military is willing to stretch its service to the Constitution.
Don’t be afraid. Don’t look away.
