Summary

Organizers of the 2017 Women’s March are planning the “People’s March” on January 18, 2025, ahead of Donald Trump’s second inauguration.

Unlike the record-breaking 2017 protest with 500,000 people, this multi-issue demonstration, addressing abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, climate change, and more, expects a smaller turnout of 50,000.

Organizers acknowledge shifting political dynamics and aim to build a sustainable movement by connecting participants with advocacy organizations.

    Do you always swallow propaganda designed to target your anger against other poor people?

      Just to be clear, I am not, nor did I ever say that poor people are stupid. Stupid people have every range of income, as do smart people. Having or lacking money does not determine your intelligence level. Elon musk has a fuck-ton of money and is one of the dumbest people to ever live on Earth. Maga is a cult and only stupid people fall into it.

      Just because someone is poor doesn’t mean they’re not a scumbag.

      Source: I grew up poor, knew a lot of them.

        Just because someone is poor and trapped in a country where there isn’t a democracy doesn’t mean they’re a scumbag

            Of course I have. I’m not saying Trump supporters are good people.

            I’m saying that the reason Trump got elected is because we dont live in a democracy. You want to fix the issue? Blame the plutocrats and the election system. Dont blame the few voters who voted for Trump. There’s not that many of them, and you’re wasting your time on them.

            Fix the democracy and you’ll fix the issue.

            Yes. I’m referring to the people who didn’t vote or didn’t vote for him.

            Because one can say voting for Harris makes someone a scumbag
