    I don't get it? Why are these protests not anti government? Do they consider everything else that is going on OK?
    Cutting healthcare, the obvious corruption, and destroying the American economy in multiple ways, and making Americans poorer by devaluing the US Dollar.
    But apparently Americans are OK with losing their democracy, and people working 2 jobs living in poverty without healthcare!

    Protesting ICE is of course a place to start, but despite the protests ICE is still active in Minnesota!

    A good deal of people attending the protests don't actually want to fix issues like healthcare because it would mean raising their taxes and/or the taxes of people richer than them.

    It's why they voted for Hillary and Joe over Bernie Sanders. Twice.

    You need at least one week of general strike. Trump will never give a crap about protests. He only cares about the squiggly line going up.
