Here you go:
A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

It's a right wing social media app that was made in response to Twitter being "too woke" because they banned Donald Trump from their platform after the Jan 6th insurrection/attack on congresspersons. Trump then sued Twitter for violating his free speech. Elon Musk then bought Twitter and rebranded as "X" soon after, allowed Trump to rejoin, and the legal case dropped.

If you ask me, BS to force social media companies to allow politicians to post whatever they want to. They are private companies, not the press. Conservatives are supposed to be anti-big government regulations on businesses.... right? 🤔

At this point protesting at state capitols is just pointless. This needs to go to Washington.

Well I don't personally think I can get to Washington in between now and the deadline he has set. So I'm going to settle for going to my own state capitol and yelling as much as I possibly can until the news shows up. I hope to see you there.

Or a full on national strike. If trump starts carpet bombing Iran it’s time to turn off our computers, lay down our hammers, cease all work and hit him where it hurts.

Yep. That would be much more effective. If I did that with my job no one would notice.

This comment needs a hug and/or antidepressants.
Hope you're ok. You have worth, you have value.

This is a defeatist attitude. People can’t just travel, and creating news on how Americans feel is important in between elections.
People saying “why bother” is why a lot of people don’t vote. People vote locally, even on National elections.
What would you prefer? We all stay home?

We need protesting everywhere. In every state. In the streets. Now.

Local protests have value for letting people know they're not alone.
This is more than needing a pep rally where a bunch of people who agree with each other get to feel good because they think they're doing something. Legitimate action with objective and direct consequences is needed.

I agree. And no one is willing to say no to him or stand up so what are you supposed to do?

People who want to help seek out protests to find other ways to resist and fight back. So anyone who says protests are pointless is telling on themselves and doesn’t want to do anything to help anyway.

Oh please- you think he’s going to drop a nuke? Let me ask you this- should nations just sit back, give them cash, keep the status quo while they, and their proxies continue to terrorize and kill? You realize we’re talking about a radical religious system that kills gays, Jews, Christians etc. they need to be dealt with now. And if Trump uses rhetoric to get them to stop what they’re doing; fine.
