Protesting, yay or nay? (1 Viewer)

[Basurafire]

So for those of you who aren't aware of American politics (no I am not forcing you to learn) Legality of lgbt marriage and our rights in general are up for debate today and if they are not criminalized today, if dusty corn chip man gets reelected they sure as hell will be snatched. It seems that everything that could go wrong is going wrong currently all across the world. When protests started in march, I wanted to go so badly, but I didn't for the sake of my family. Now, if dusty corn chip man is reelected tomorrow, im not so sure I wont go riot in the streets and go feral. Obviously I would do my best to protect myself but, if I see someone innocent hurt, I will lose it. I know I will, so therefore I know I would throw myself in front of another person to save them. This rises the question, should I go protest if this is the case?

yes but only if you support what they are protesting for. dont do it just because

It depends on where you are tbh, if you're in a swing state where there are a lot of Trump supporters it's more risky than if you're in a state that's primarily against Trump. Either way, stay safe and try not to get too caught up in it. A clear mind does wonders.

go for it if it's something important to you

but stay safe, have a few contacts who won't be out at hand for "check-ins" ("if I'm not home by xyz time and you can't reach me pls [whatever plan you guys agreed to]"), idk what else to say

I say go for it.

if the ppl in power don't care about you, they aren't going to start caring just bcs you are sitting at home being a good girl or boy.
Just take safety measures and be careful about it

I just keep to myself. Even if I don't protest, I am protesting internally at some point anyways.
Do what you think is right to you.

I have seen glimpses of the election from here.
Sky news is torture to watch, so I don't bother with keeping up to date and informed.
I don't like people and shows that are too controversial and angry.

definitely join in if you want and you would not be put in danger by doing so.

There's resources online that will tell you the best attire to wear and what to do if you get tear gassed and/or pepper sprayed.

I try to watch ones that don't use too much opinion, opinion and bias is unavoidable at some points but some shows are better than others

Just don't loot or damage the property of people who are innocent of all the political stuff. Those stores did nothing to those types of "protesters". :/

Otherwise, protest to your heart's content.

-Sincerely, someone from the Seattle area tired of the violence and damage.
