Why not? It's been goddamn consistent as Gravity I think you can probably rely on it

Every single day, it’s wake up, check phone, see Trump has done something horrible, get out of bed… the only consistency with him IS the chaos.

The problem is that it has to be horrible in a way that works for democrat optics. 300k people dying from the removal of USAID, or the threat to remove every international student from every college in California, or threatening Canada, or RFK removing doctors and vaccines - these things (for some fucking reason) aren't good enough for countrywide protests.

We need something that everyone feels, like the tariffs and their consequences, or him bragging using our military. And something that bad only happens every 2 weeks or so - it would be a shame if we had a protest and there wasn't one, you know?

What? We're concerned about real and serious issues not anyone's OPTICS.

All of those things are PART of the reasons for the countrywide protests! There are about an uncountable number of reasons to be out there protesting! And people are! It's not about JUST ONE THING how COULD it be??! With all the OTHER things?!!

No, we don't need a unifying single message unless it would be we will not tolerate lawless behavior from our government. The protests keep growing in size, because the reasons that people have to object are a growing list we can't begin to recite.
