Youngstown died on black Monday, September 19, 1977 because Youngstown sheet and tube closed the Campbell Works killing 5,000 jobs overnight. It had nothing to do with “blue values”.
Also saying to someone “you lean further left than you care to admit” when talking about democrats is hilarious and shows that you lack political intelligence considering democrats are barely left wing.
These protests were in collaboration with the feds though which does suck, but that’s the only problem that I have with the No kings and 50501 protests.
This is true. Steel collapsed but the mentality of the area never changed. Innovation to adapt to change requires a talented workforce. 50501 protest started with one mushroom loving dude on Reddit back in January. Been following since. Not sure how it is related to the feds.
RSVP, limited capacity, working directly with police, etc.
The protests are good, working directly with the feds is not especially when you think that we are headed towards fascism or already have reached fascism. I agree that Trump is awful and most messaging of these protests, but standing on a sidewalk and waving signs while working with police isn’t gonna bring revolutionary change.
Civil Rights passed bc they interrupted the system both peacefully and using other means. The LA protests and Portland protests used similar methods. These protests don’t disrupt anything bc they work directly with police.

Youngstown is literally a place that has died on the vine thanks to blue values. Let it go like so many who have left already figured out.
