The protests are typical lib stuff. There are no plans at all to actually do anything or even make demands.

'We Don't Do Kings': Mass Protests Planned to Counter Trump's Birthday Military Parade

"Donald Trump does not own the flag. He does not own patriotism. In fact, we can all show up in opposition to a king in this country."

The event's website says the goal of the mass demonstrations is to show that "from city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we're taking action to reject authoritarianism."

I was struggling to figure out what to title my post. Somehow I overlooked the best title - "Liberal activism". Or maybe "Liberal activism with an AI poster". Oh, well. I'll get another chance and soon too. It's 41 days until July 4th.

I'd be amazed if the libs even used the words "direct action". It's such problem even in theory because it involves the pesky word "action".

They’ll probably eventually co-opt the term “direct action” to mean non-violent protests cleared ahead of time with the proper authorities.

Oh, god. I didn't even think of that. And they'll give it a horrible name like "good trouble action." Bluesky libs love the phrase "good trouble" due to its association with John Lewis who in my opinion they treat like a Vote! patron saint.

Umm, she is our DEI queen actually? And you're sexist for being anti-queen?

[–] Sinisterium@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

She is a queen tho

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

No kings is such cringe when they voted for and enabled the laws Trump abuses exploits. Notice no impeachment for all these "emergency declaration".

I mean, lib'd up activism aside, this is probably one of the better pieces of AI art I've seen. I absolutely would not have noticed had you not pointed it out, and even then, I'm still not entirely sure.

T. rex arms. Graphic design a weird mix of competent and incompetent like the time being an awkward size and not sharing a baseline with the date. Overall constipated vibe.
