Canada here. We see nothing about Murcan protests, if they exist. We just hear Canadians/politicians reacting negatively to pretty much everything coming out of the white house.
We ask each other how can Murcans be okay with being treated like this. Don’t they understand what’s happening?
In Canada we see a lot less of that due to rules around news and reporting on social media, but there’s a push for better regulation still. I worry it’s not enough to keep us clear of the conservatives this election.
Now is the time to push for new privacy laws and limits on advertising and the use of public relations in media. The path of the US is an illustration on what not to do.
I really hope our people are smart enough to know when they’re being manipulated as the MAGAts have been. It looks like our cons are waking up though, and realizing that it’s not the time for smöl PP
No. Overwhelmingly, no, they don’t. The MAGA crowd is stuck to their pants with glee, the liberal crowd is going “oh well, we’ll get em in the midterms,” and about another third of the country is just brain-dead clueless about all of it. Maybe a few thousand people in the US actually understand just how close we are to cascading systemic collapse.
There wasn’t a unified protest movement at the beginning of Trump’s first term. It wasn’t until BLM started gaining traction that we started seeing real action on the streets. This time around, despite the total lack of leadership from the DNC, there were boots on the ground from day one.
It’s important to note that unlike Trump’s first term, the mass media now has a vested interest in not reporting the scale and size of the unrest, so they’re tamping down coverage wherever they can, and actively manufacturing consent by minimizing the impact of the protests.
Mass media is actively suppressing them:

I really hope you’re right. I’m actually very scared that they’ll take over our social media this election season and we’ll get fucked as well.
They already took over social media, that was the final push that put a literal conman back in the Whitehouse.
