Protesters are saying the same thing about maga essentially, that maga is very similar for how people fell for Nazi bs in Germany. Why does it seem however there are more of these protesters then the maga protesters. These protesters aren’t just vocal but are usually in large numbers of them that support this. Could it actually be a majority of the people speaking? If so, then that might just be where society is at now.
Over the decades the beaf against republicans, conservatives with a lot of people has been brewing. Right leaning politicians and etc have been telling people how they wanted them to live and not to live for a long time.

They are. Funny how they can think it’s ok to say that about “other” parties and viewpoints, while ignoring the exact same thing happening in their own spaces.

Yes, and the majority voted Trump in.

Which is just as wrong as left-leaning politicians (and Lemmy!) telling people how they want them to live, which is what they are doing now. By placing nazi bricks on cars in jewish neighborhoods, restricting free speech, etc. I know. I have the bans to prove it–which just make me laugh! lol
When I was saying majority I was talking about those protesting against maga and trumps decisions in these protests. Wait so are you saying you had bans from telling people not to live; as a conservative or?

No, I’ve been banned because some liberals on Lemmy think there’s only one acceptable way to live. And it’s their way.
The same people who preach about “diversity,” “tolerance,” and “open dialogue” are often the ones who shut down opposing views. I’ve been banned just for posting news articles that lean conservative, and in some cases, people assumed I was someone else entirely.
A lot of users think I’m a guy called Universal Monk, even though I looked him up and he’s actually a socialist—and not even banned from Lemmy. He still posts on Lemmy, yet they think I am him. But with a different name, political slant, and interests. Ok…
Anyway, because some users think I’m him, and disagree with his views, they ban me. Feel free to right-click my name and see “moderation history.” You’ll see all my bans are because they think am an alt of “UM.” I’m not, but meh, it’s fucking Lemmy, so it is what it is. :)
Even though I’ve never advocated violence, never pushed intolerance, and only post content to relevant communities. I’ve even been banned from non-political communities just because I posted conservative news in conservative spaces. That’s literally banning someone for posting appropriate content where it belongs. They are looking my post history up, decide that since i post conservative news articles to conservative news communities, that I must be evil and ban-worthy. lol
It’s hypocritical. The very behavior liberals accuse conservatives of—intolerance, censorship, gatekeeping—they’re guilty of doing themselves, especially on Lemmy.
I’m just clarifying for my argument though. In the end, none of this matters in the real world. And it doesn’t really bother me that much.
This is just an online forum that other people seem to take way too seriously though.
Same kind of mindset I think these protesters are in. They are taking shit way too personally. As in, “Hey I hate Trump. Trump likes Musk. Here’s a Tesla. Let’s fuck it up!” It’s cringe and stupid.
What if republicans started fucking up cars that had a “Harris” bumper sticker on it? Would that be celebrated? lol
Probably wouldn’t be celebrated, but they protestors and any backers/supporters.allies let the world know that republicans were doing that, with multiples news articles posts, and news stories social media posts how bad the republicans were to their cars.
The protesters probably would look at it as some form of drastic nazism, which is dangerous for minority groups and respond as such. And, these protesters are protesting over individual rights compared to the republicans appearing to be…:
advocating for suppressing certain individuals rights?
Meh, I think Lemmy would celebrate. Look at how much they celebrate Mario. And that dude committed murder!
But back to subject of article, I think these protestors who get caught, pretty much regret their choice immediately.
I protested something when I was in college. I was protesting them shutting down a diversity program that I was actually co-lead of. I 100 percent expected to get arrested for it and even had plans for my mugshot. lol
Nothing happened tho. No arrest. And the program wasn’t saved. My point being, if you are gonna do something like this, then proudly take the heat. Don’t hide your face and say you were just going through a rough time like this woman did.
I do suspect they regretted it, but some of them probally finds ways to get out early, sometimes legal systems will literally hand certain prosecuted criminals ways out.
What got you to change, or had you changed from supporting those diversity program? If you were protesting for them shutting it down. Or are you a conservative person that support these diversity programs. Or is it a completely different type of diversity programs then what we’re talking about with todays politics?
What got you to change, or had you changed from supporting those diversity program?
I haven’t changed at all. I still support diversity. Many conservatives support diversity. There are conservatives of all colors. My neighbors are black and they all love Trump. I’m bi-racial myself.
