Hungary banned anything that âpromotes homosexuality,â which means Pride.

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. ð³ï¸âðð³ï¸ââ§ï¸

(73,596 posts)Not sure if you have been to any of the recent protests, such as No Kings. But I have gone to all of the protests since Trump was elected, and I can assure you, people are not just rolling over. Quite the opposite.

(2,011 posts)I don't think the average American is outraged yet. Sometimes I feel like the average American thinks my outage is a little over the top. Take away the Internets, then they will be in the streets like Hungary.
Just my opinion.

(17,718 posts)....but pretty much every Republican in elected office, at the state and federal level?
Including the judges? Sheriffs? Election officials?
And the Supreme Court?
At this point, I'm operating on the assumption that no presidential election will be held in the US in 2028, and that any Democratic gains next year will be ignored or declared "fraudulent" somehow.

I'm pretty sure all the pride parades are going on as usual without the likes of Target and all the rest of spineless corporate America.

(509 posts)The population of Hungary is 9.6M people.
500k is 5% of the population. And i assume there were
protesters in other towns- so maybe more like 6% (?)
Anyways, I think we were in the 2% range for No Kings.
So we have a ways to go-- Hopefully we can aspire to this!
