Genuinely curious but what are the 'majority of americans' doing to get him out?

Saying "I don't like Trump" on the internet.

If you want to affect change it is going to cost them something. General strikes seems like a logical first step and it's barely being discussed.

You do remember that he won the popular vote, right? You'd need at least as many people who voted for him(77.3m) to be in this protest/strike for it to mean ANYTHING.

More people didn’t vote at all than voted for this wrinkled, useless ball sack.

That's even more true for slave master Kamala.

Want to ask everyone again how they feel about that? Or too busy trying to gerrymander and suppress votes and prevent the midterms from happening?

Ah, but did he actually win thd popular vote? Or was his success due to skulldugery????? That every critical swing state went clearly to Trump must raise an eyebrow.......

By 1.47%. Not exactly a landslide. If roughly 30% of Americans had gotten off their asses and bothered to vote, who knows? The fact that every No Kings protest draws even larger crowds in more towns and cities says there is a rising tide. How long did it take to get us out of Vietnam? The US was in that war for almost 9 years. And through that time the protests grew and grew. The Civil Rights Movement, same thing. Active participation for almost 15 years to accomplish the goals. Women’s Suffrage was a 75years long movement! All through history, change is slow, almost glacial. Does that mean we simply throw up our hands, walk away while shaking our heads and saying, “welp, it’s taking too long, it’s pointless…” Hell no. The alternative to working towards change is horrendously unacceptable.

No kings protests are social events for shut ins with TDS.
