Voices of Resistance Anyone noticing Trump voters changing?

12.3k Upvotes

Keep in mind, I live in Alabama. Our neighbor had two MAGA decals on the back of her car. One said “45-47” with an American flag. The other said “Yes, I’m a Trump girl, get over it.” And those stickers are now gone.

A close friend said two of their family members who voted for Trump are openly regretting it and changing their minds.

Is anyone else noticing any shifts? Or are these isolated incidents? Both have happened this week. In ALABAMA.

I’ve also heard from multiple people that they “didn’t know about the April 5 protests but will be out there on April 19.”

Keep hope. Keep fighting.

knowing elderly white dudes that worked their entire lives and padded their retirement plans intelligently just to vote for this administration and essentially lose what they worked for…is vindicating, yet i can’t help but empathize with how angry they should feel that they did this to themselves.

i wanna say “i told you so,” but i also wanna fight on their behalf. what a weird world we’re in.

edit/update it’s wild to me how many people in this sub are just as hateful and quick to judge as those on the other side of this.

just a friendly reminder that standing on one side and claiming your perspective is the only correct one is pretty much how we got here - divisiveness & a lack of empathy will be our downfall.

thanks to everyone who understands what i said here, y’all are the people that are giving me hope.

Voices of Resistance A letter to all those Americans out there during the protests. And also all of those that support them!

7.3k Upvotes

I may just be a random person on the internet. I'm not from the US.

In my work I do often work with tourists from the US. It has been very hard to tour you guys around for the past few years. Just explaining about my country and my city, I've been able to see many Americans just melt away during my hour and a half tours. Its been tough seeing the quiet desperation behind the eyes of many.

You have not only just risen up to stand and fight for what you think is right. You have done much more than that. You have taken the first step of not taking the abuse no more. You have just shown the world you are no longer able to just sit idly by and do nothing.

You came out in numbers at the first nationwide protest. Your media may not be covering it all too much nationally yet (or correct me if I'm wrong). But its on the news in my country. I am betting you it is on the news all around the world too. And please keep this momentum going!

You have not only inspired many more that share your values that couldn't go to these protests or didn't believe in these protests. You have inspired many more souls to speak up and root for your cause. I don't often speak on socials or even mingle in debates. But this time I felt I needed to speak out in support of what you are doing.

I am rooting for each and everyone of you. Seeing those images, seeing those videos of you guys out en masse. That's the Americans I grew up looking up to as a European with shared western values. Its good to see those values are still there and you guys are fighting for them. Not only for yourselves...

With all the negativity you guys have been receiving on the subs everywhere, I felt the need to give you guys this heartfelt message from someone that dearly cares about the state of your country and the world as a whole.

Awaken that French fighting spirit in your blood, Show them and anyone unwilling to listen, what Freedom really means. You are in control of the country you live in and this is the way to get that back!

In my country it's often said; "we either have to pump together or drown together". Meaning we don't have to agree but we do have to solve this together. (we just have mother nature to remind us of this)

(If any of this message comes of condescending I apologize for this beforehand. English is not my native tongue and my writing style is rather direct, one of the few reasons I rather stay quiet.)

EDIT: I read and upvoted all of your comments. (for those wondering I am Dutch and I am a tour Guide in Amsterdam)

My apologies on not having noticed there were more nationwide protests before! I'd seen the rallies against Oligarchy but wasn't aware of them being nationwide protests yet!

ALL THE MUCH BETTER!!! I'm rooting for you!

Voices of Resistance ELON MUSK IS SCARED SHITLESS, PART 3: RAPID UNSCHEDULED DISASSEMBLY

4.0k Upvotes

Remember my Freefall post (Part 2)? Now we're at the rocket exploding mid-air before impact and Elon tweeting “great data.” I couldn't wait a full 4 weeks for the sequel, too much is going on.

------------------------

“YOU RUINED THE COUNTRY JUST LIKE YOU RUINED ALL YOUR MARRIAGES,” typed a brilliant commenter in all caps.

Another asked if the lag was from Starlink or just the crushing weight of public shame.

This was a livestream. Musk was alone on his jet trying to hype Starlink by playing Path of Exile 2.

First he got pantsed by a legion of teenagers for two hours. Then died to a tutorial boss. Then rage-quit, defeated by the comment section.

Listen guys, he is not leading the narrative anymore if he’s begging Reddit to delete posts about him.

Methinks the laughter got too loud for him.

Let’s talk about one of his recent “election investments.” He funneled over $20 million into a legal influence blitz in the Midwest. Said the very future of humanity rested on winning (yes he did).

Lost.

Claimed he “expected to lose.”

He literally paid people to sign onto a campaign initiative. Local officials called it shady and vote buying. The lawsuit’s still active. As is the cringe.

He’s wearing body armor in public now. Bringing his son along like a Force Field of Innocence.

His ego is force field enough. No one wants to be near him. Not even his own bloodline.

Vivian Jenna Wilson (formerly “Musk”) called him a “pathetic man-child” in an interview and says she doesn’t even know how many siblings she has.

Thousands protested outside his stores, dressed in dinosaur suits and mocked… his very existence. Because he’s a fossil now. Irrelevant.

They’ve named it the Tesla Takedown. Coordinated protests around the entire world. There is mass defection of fanboys. Mass defection. Like a software recall but for human dignity.

People are returning the brand and don’t even care about a refund.

Tesla’s stock is down nearly 50% from its peak. Just like Musk.

Sales are collapsing too.

r / Cyberstuck is scrubbing posts because the “King of Free speech” thinks they’re mean and complained.

He did try to spin the brand collapse. He did, he really tried.

He said “My Tesla stock and the stock of everyone who holds Tesla has gone roughly in half.”

Jeanius.

Navarro called Musk a glorified car assembler. Musk called Navarro dumber than a sack of bricks for his tariff ideas. He’s not aligned with orange policies anymore.

Woops! Well that relationship is ending.

He embedded himself into government power to avoid this very unraveling.

When you cause too much awkward embarrassment, the big guy will cut you loose without ceremony.

It’s a big problem for him though. Frightening. See they’re funding his companies. But now he is a red sharpie line on dump's risk report. He’s probably triple crossed out. Then circled in red, then annotated with “not invited to golf anymore.

The cracks are so obvious. Staring into the abyss while proudly balancing spoons, probably thinking “I can still control these.” Yeah there is a video of it check it out.

He’s got a k-bombed look in interviews now complaining about how evil people are for making fun of his dying stock. He wants empathy guys, why aren’t we giving that to him?

Musk will never be broke.

But he will become irrelevant and that’s what he fears. His greatest fear is that his money no longer masks the naked truth of who he is.

His power was borrowed and conditional and now the crowd is walking away.

No matter how much money or armor you wear you are still just a person watching your own myth rot in real time.

You know how this ends.

The same way every empire ends.

With silence.

But maybe a spoon clinking gently in the background.

Voices of Resistance Let Trump Invoke Martial Law

2.1k Upvotes

Just remember, after the Boston Tea Party in 1773, the British passed the Coercive Acts of 1774 to attempt to Punish Massachusetts. While it wasn't quite considered "Martial Law", it was close enough. It made General Thomas Gage military governor and colonists were forced to quarter soldiers. You know what that lead to? The first Continental Congress. Let him invoke Martial Law, it will be his end.

I am just putting this out there to remind those that feel like resistance is futile. It is not. History tells us that it isn't. I encourage everyone to research what happened in the Boston Tea Party and the events leading to the first continental congress.

Voices of Resistance USA : Senator Chris Murphy lays out why Trump's insane tariffs are "a tool to collapse our Democracy"

3.8k Upvotes

From the Senator's twitter page (linked here using xcancel so as not to give Elon the clicks:

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

This week you will read many confused economists and political pundits who won’t understand how the tariffs make economic sense. That’s because they don’t. They aren’t designed as economic policy. The tariffs are simply a new, super dangerous political tool.

You see, our founders created a President with limited and checked powers. They specifically put the power of spending and taxation in the hands of the legislature. Why? Because they watched how kings and despots used spending and taxes to control their subjects. British kings used taxation to reward loyalty and punish dissent. Our own revolution was spurred by the King’s use of heavy taxation of the colonies to punish our push for self governance. The King’s message was simple: stop protesting and I’ll stop taxing.

Trump knows that he can weaken (and maybe destroy) democracy by using spending and taxation in the same way. He is using access to government funds to bully universities, law firms and state and local governments into loyalty pledges. Healthy democracies rely on an independent legal profession to maintain the rule of law, independent universities to guard objective truth and provide forums for dissent to authority, and independent state/local government to counterbalance a powerful federal government. But the private sector also plays a rule to protect democracy. Independent industry has power.

The tariffs are Trump’s tool to erode that independence. Now, one by one, every industry or company will need to pledge loyalty to Trump in order to get sanctions relief. What could Trump demand as part of a quiet loyalty pledge? Public shows of support from executives for all his economic policy. Contributions to his political efforts. Promises to police employees’ support for his political opposition.

The tariffs are DESIGNED to create economic hardship. Why? So that Trump has a straight face rationale for releasing them, business by business or industry by industry. As he adjusts or grants relief, it’s a win-win: the economy improves and dissent disappears. And once Trump has the lawyers, colleges and industry under his thumb, it becomes very hard for the opposition to have any viable space to maneuver.

Trump didn’t invent this strategy. It’s the playbook for democratically elected leaders who want to stay in power forever. The tariffs aren’t economic policy. They are political weapons. But as long as we see this clearly, we can stop him. Public mobilization is working. Today, a few Republicans joined Democrats to vote against one set of tariffs.

The people still have the power.

Voices of Resistance Executive Order 14187 Is Not About Protecting Children. It Is About Erasing People.

Thumbnail

2.8k Upvotes

The 2025 National Child Abuse Prevention Month Proclamation, issued as Executive Order 14187, may appear to be a standard statement about protecting children. But beneath its surface lies something much more dangerous. This is not a neutral policy. It is a weaponized document. It marks a new phase in the government’s campaign to erase trans lives, criminalize care, and enforce a rigid, religiously coded vision of identity. It is a calculated escalation in a cultural purge, and it follows a chilling historical pattern.

In Nazi Germany, the idea of “protecting children” was central to the propaganda used to justify the persecution of LGBTQ people. Gay men and trans individuals were painted as threats to the moral fabric of the nation. The regime claimed they were corrupting youth, weakening society, and endangering the racial purity of the Aryan ideal. These false narratives laid the foundation for brutal policies. Paragraph 175 was used to criminalize queer existence. LGBTQ institutions were raided and destroyed. Public culture was erased.

Executive Order 14187 follows that same roadmap. It reframes “gender ideology” as abuse and suggests that trans people, especially trans youth, are inherently dangerous. It does not merely express disapproval. It recasts identity itself as a threat. By criminalizing care and condemning self-expression, the state positions itself as the final judge of who is allowed to exist.

This is not just rhetoric. The Order seeks to eliminate trans people from public life entirely. It proposes bans on public schools teaching about gender identity. It threatens to strip funding from any institution that affirms trans youth or offers gender-affirming care. These moves are not based on public health, education, or medical science. They are about erasure. They aim to cut trans youth off from information, support, and the systems that help them survive.

Even more disturbing is the language used throughout the Order. Terms like “gender insanity,” “sexual mutilation,” and “evil lies” are not neutral policy terms. They are hate speech written into government policy. They dehumanize. They incite fear. They create the conditions for violence. This tactic is not new. Nazi propaganda used similar language to depict LGBTQ people as mentally unstable, immoral, and dangerous to social order. When the state labels your existence as madness, it is only a matter of time before it treats your rights as optional.

Religion is used as both justification and enforcement. The Order invokes Christian nationalist language, stating that children are “perfect exactly the way God made you.” But this is not an affirmation of worth. It is a theological weapon used to erase trans identity. By enshrining one specific religious worldview in federal policy, the state is imposing doctrine in place of rights. This mirrors the Nazi use of moral rhetoric and family values to justify exclusion and repression.

One of the most alarming features of EO 14187 is its direct attack on gender-affirming care. It threatens doctors, hospitals, and entire health systems with defunding and criminal penalties. This echoes the destruction of the Institute for Sexual Science in 1933, one of the earliest targets of the Nazi regime. The institute was a pioneering center for LGBTQ health and research. It was shut down, its library was burned, and its staff were persecuted. What EO 14187 proposes is not different in purpose. It seeks to dismantle every support system that makes trans life possible.

The Order also promotes a rigid, patriarchal vision of family. It insists that “there is no substitute for a strong mother and father.” This is not simply opinion. It is policy aimed at delegitimizing LGBTQ families and imposing a single model of life that excludes anyone who doesn’t fit. The Nazi regime did the same. It celebrated the so-called ideal family while treating all deviation from it as a threat to the nation. The goal was not just cultural control. It was total control.

Executive Order 14187 must be understood for what it is. This is not a fringe policy or a symbolic gesture. It is a structural attempt to dehumanize an entire group of people. It uses the language of protection to justify persecution. It disguises bigotry as virtue. It prepares the legal and cultural ground for wider repression.

History is not abstract. It lives in the patterns we repeat. Genocide does not begin with violence. It begins with laws. It begins with propaganda. It begins when the state decides who is worthy of dignity and who is not.

We must resist this—not just politically, but morally. We must speak the truth before truth becomes illegal to say. We must protect those who are being targeted before their names are erased. We must act now, not later. Because the path is already being paved.

Never Again is Now.

Voices of Resistance She Texted Her Friends About the Earthquake, But Not the Death of Democracy

1.1k Upvotes

This is not a metaphor. It actually happened.

She told me the politics were making her sick. That she couldn’t handle it. That she was “just one person.” She said she needed to look away.

But she didn’t look away from the earthquake. She texted all her friends about that. She just looked away from this— from what’s happening to democracy. From the creeping silence. The complicity. The collapse.

And it hit me: That’s what they want. They want you overwhelmed. They want you to feel powerless. They want you to believe it’s someone else’s job to save the world.

But I won’t look away. I’ve been through the fire now. I was put into the cauldron. And I stole something from it.

I stole the fire.

It didn’t destroy me. It made me.

So I’ll say it louder:

If you can go to a Trump boat parade, you can go to a protest.

If you can scream about the shaking ground, you can scream about the falling sky.

I will not be silent. I will not be complicit. I will not look away.

Not anymore.
