What is the Shutdown 315 Movement?
Edit: Because of the number of negative and discouraging comments that are counterproductive to the message of this post, I have decided to remove select comments that discourage organization. I apologize in advance if your comment is removed inadvertently.
I removed 32 comments.
how about you stop posting about it with a PNG on a forum that gets like 20k visitors a month (high end) and go talk to your neighbors and coworkers about doing something more directly local?
Because I live in Trump County so all my neighbors suck. MAGA hats everywhere.
I still fight back by printing out anything I find on here that is critical of Trump and posting it by the mailboxes in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep, but they get ripped down the same morning, every single day.
It’s depressing, and I’m afraid that if I keep doing it the neighborhood will eventually track me down and lynch me, but every day I post a new piece of propaganda. I’m fighting back the safest possible way I can.
Do what you gotta do. Ignore the people who don’t think you’re protesting “the right way”. They almost certainly aren’t doing shit themselves.
that really, truly sucks
honestly, if you sincerely believe that your physical safety is at risk if the people in your area knew your politics you need to GTFO, posthaste. If that’s not an option for whatever reason, learn who’s least likely to be hostile to your politics, the groups are probably going to be anemic but I know for a fact there’s at least statewide Democratic Party organization. Not even necessarily repping for Democrats in particular there are probably other groups. In any case my point is that you may be alone, but you’re less alone than you think you are
You can post while waiting in line or while multitasking, as many of us do. You can do both. Also, the irony of your comment.
and that posting can concern things more locally relevant than yet another “geNrAL StRIke”. I’m on this particular forum in large part because of the hope it can be locally relevant
You can do both. Or just complain and do nothing
I guarantee you there are local politicians in your area who absolutely suck shit, who have established enemies, who aren’t as secure in their positions as they think they are
go learn who they are and make their lives hell.
