Second round of protests at more than 2,500 sites are set for Saturday, including in cities where Trump has sent troops

Donald Trump has promised to crack down on dissent and sent troops into US cities. His allies are claiming antifa, the decentralized antifascist movement, is behind plans to protest. He’s looking for any pretext to go after his opponents.

Still, this Saturday, even in cities with troops on the ground, millions of people are expected to march against the president as part of a second “No Kings” protest. The last No Kings protest in June drew several million people across more than 2,000 locations. This time, more than 2,500 cities and towns nationwide are hosting protests.

Organizers expect this Saturday’s protests to draw more people than the June events as the American public sees the excesses of the Trump administration more clearly.

    Nah, don’t be so hard on yourself. You aren’t a fascist. Just a fascist enabling coward who values property over human lives.

          My many children are all hardened fascist, if my grandchildren aren’t ill disown them and let all the “social programs” take care of them since thats what they want and see how they like it.

          Being a socialist, trying to make everyone all equal makes everyone an unmotivated, uninspired fiscally poor losers. Why would anyone work 80 hours busting ass trying to accomplish something great when it doesnt matter and you make as much as Joe shmoe next door working 40 and bullshits all day. If there is no reward for excelling, no one will.

          I digress. Let me get back in character.

          Im glad the government takes what I produce and then redistributes it as it sees fit. Actually since they take all my surplus and I get nothing, I fired almost everyone, cause I can’t afford to pay them… anyway… im bored now
