    Yeah but that doesn’t mean we should just give up and let Fascism take over. Any pushback is good, no mater how ineffective it is. Make Trump’s life as difficult as you can. With enough luck, the pressure will send him to an early demise.

        Yeah and who handed them out, hmm? I didn’t ask for your god damn participation trophy.

        The generation that is responsible for raising the “lazy Millennials” sure loves to point the finger instead of looking in the mirror.

          I think ineffective pushback is bad and I’m on the wrong side? I think wasting time on things that are ineffective is bad and I’m on the wrong side?

          We are so fucked 🤪

            Well to start, the effectiveness isn’t possible to measure at this point.

            However, the comment had nothing to do with that, and instead was about you comparing attempted protests to “participation trophies” which is a conservative dog whistle for “kids these days don’t have that dog eat dog capitalist spirit, do we need more lead in the air again?”

            For context, WW2 was faught and won with participation trophy snowflakes. If it was good enough to defeat Nazis then, it’s good enough to defeat Nazis now.

        Not that it’s relevant at all here, but who do you think came up with the idea to give people participation awards? Do you think it was the children who were confused about getting them?
