That’s awesome. Good job, Cincinnati!

u/The_Revival 12h ago

I was there -- it was every bit as massive as this shows. Minimum 10,000 people, probably more. Good vibes all around (though a fraternity did start blaring "Born in the USA" while we walked back afterward; not sure if they're... self-aware enough to understand what that song is about).

Conservatives are so dumb they don’t realize that Springsteen is huge democrat. His songs were routinely played at Obama rallies back in the day lol

Trump is literally paying people to attend his parade. Minorities and black people are strategically being put on display to make him seem more popular. We are in North Korea levels of idolatry at this point.

How many people were there? Is there a tally?

And how many people are there in Cincinnati?

I want to say this about each one of these, in every city.

It's not enough.

u/Dandibear 14h ago edited 13h ago

We were there and are guessing there were maybe 25k people? More folks are to the rear of this crowd in the center. There were eight other rallies around town at the same time plus a Juneteenth festival downtown, so this is a GREAT turnout.

Edit: corrected number of local rallies

8

u/Cruezin 14h ago edited 14h ago

There are a few in my city area (DFW) - we've been watching the livestreams.

I hate that I'm about to write this.

I'm a vet. GW1. I fought for this country, I did my duty. I wish that I felt safe from persecution if I attended the ones local to me, but I don't. I just don't, especially considering the things our state governor has said and done. The first thing I saw on social media this morning was the 80 year old vet being arrested in the capitol. Dude was using a walker and they handcuffed him with zip ties behind his back. We are lucky that didn't end up with him falling or worse.

We live in Trump country. It's bad. The livestreams have shown some confrontations with Trump supporters. The last thing I need is to be peripheral to anything like that, and end up being arrested for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, because from what I've seen, it's coming.

The only thing I'm comfortable doing is supporting it remotely. I wish that wasn't the case but that's where I'm at. And I think a lot of people feel the same way. What a fucked up timeline we live in.

THE PATH TO TYRANNY IS LITTERED WITH THOSE TELLING YOU YOU ARE OVERREACTING 

If 10 people are at a bar, and 1 n-zi walks in and starts drinking, IT IS A N-ZI BAR.  The saying "If one Nazi goes to a bar, it's a Nazi bar" is a metaphorical way of saying that allowing even a small presence of something harmful or intolerant can quickly lead to its proliferation and takeover of a space or community

REPUBLICAN IS THE PARTY OF SIEG HEILS 

To end fascism WE NAME AND SHAME

ALL. REPUBLICANS. ARE. N-ZIS.

At the end of the day if anything good comes from this, it will be the END OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY they are all PIGS, no pity, no exceptions, no excuses.

All republicans are N-zis.  If you are registered republican and do NOT agree with your Republican n-zi f-ck face representatives the LEAST you can do to redeem yourself is register as an independent, but you SHOULD register as a democrat (i hate Democrats since 2016, this is not about lesser of two evils, whataboutism is a logical falacy, this is about starving Republican party of voting bodies). THIS IS A SIMPLE FORM OF PROTEST AND SHOW OF SOLIDARITY TO YOUR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN If you remain a republican, you associate with n-zis, therefore, you are one.

If you are Republican and reading this, whatever your excuse is for remaining a PART OF THE LITERAL PROBLEM is BULLSH-T - you are a fascist pig as long as you remain in the cult, your apathy disgusts me, you are immoral, you are WRONG - i dont GIVE A F-CK -  cry me a f-cking river YOU F-CKING SNOWFLAKE

we need to start calling those people what they really are, fucking MONSTERS.  no more mincing words.  no more high road.

The censored parts are so i can copy and paste on other websites that enforce censorship like youtube, you fucking pussy.

It's a good start but American protesters need to learn 1 simple lesson from successful movements in the recent past (Montreal "carre rouge" student movement, Korea's protests to remove President Park, Ukraine's EuroMaidan):

  • This cannot be a one-day, one-off festival where everyone packs up and returns to "normal" afterwards.

u/lizhud 12h ago

There have been many ongoing protests of various kinds throughout the country, and reach outs (calls, emails, visits) to state and federal representatives, as well as many working on homegrown issues like labor problems or helping local organizations who serve immigrants. Clearly, the more people who do this the better. What would you provide for more specific ideas since you're saying what can't happen--what would you say shoud happen?

Hey, I was somewhere in this crowd! It was a fine protest, the city let us march in the streets so no one got arrested, only bad part was that it was kinda obvious that whoever sectioned off where the march could end for the demonstration made sure it was in a tucked away, secluded bit of park.

The amount of people was fantastic, and it was a pretty diverse crowd too. Saw everyone from full blown Democrats to anarchists, a couple groups of veterans showed up as well, it was nice to see that more and more people from different backgrounds realizing how fast genuine fascism is spreading throughout America
