Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Mondays are my busiest day. I don’t get Presidents’ Day off and I never have. I have meetings right before and after lunch. I can’t attend

[-]

Surprised at the responses on this post tbh… I think the objective is to protest king Elon and the government overreach/disregard for the constitution by the Trump administration. Trumpers, did you know that you were voting to allow trumps biggest donor (and richest man in the world) have the role he currently has right now? Are you not concerned with his obvious conflicts of interests? Seriously curious. He has no security clearances or clear oversight atm.

[-]

chipset0316@reddit

I am pretty sure he has security clearances. You don’t get large government contracts for space without them. He is in an advisory role. And do you think they would allow just anyone around in the White House as much as he is without a clearance?

Public_Preference_14@reddit

Which of Musk’s companies are (were?) under investigation? And when you cross check the departments/organizations that were investigating said companies, is there a giant overlap? Huh. Who da thunk???

[-]

lpalf@reddit

The clearances for spacex does not allow him access to social security lmao yall are so dumb

[-]

Danyboii@reddit

I voted for him to cut federal spending and it was well advertised that Musk would be a part of that. Not sure why you think he is a King when he is getting his direction from Trump. Security Clearance is irrelevant because the President is the ultimate decider on classification anyway. The department heads are working with him and providing oversight.

As for your surprise at the responses, go to /r/texas where they banned all wrongthink and you can live in the satisfying bubble thinking your ideas are actually popular.

Why do you guys continue to lie? Elon Musk has TOP SECRET CLEARANCE. That has been debunked. Grow up. No one is entitled to work at the government, and the Executive is in charge of OVERSEEN The Executive, which is what The Digital Service (The Doge) is doing now.

You people dont even know what you are protesting for. "The Purse" do you even know what it is? The House assigns the money, and the Executive decides HOW that money is used.

President Trump has the power to oversee executive offices and dismantle them since he is the chief executive officer of the government.

Please learn about government roles and stop "protesting" about a president actually doing his job.

Is so good to finally have a REAL president in the White House who actually cares about the American people.

Spiritual_Appeal_961@reddit

Musk rakes in 8 million dollars a day off government contracts and he wants to go after grandparents $65 a day in social security and say childrens healthcare is wasteful. Wake up! It would be one thing if he was looking into money he gets from the government as well but he is not. He is going after agencies that were investigating or sanctioning his own companies fraud and abuse first while using waste as an excuse. This is about him trying to hang on to that 8 mil a day as long as possible.

Cgg95@reddit

I feel like a lot of people are just straight up demoralized. I personally have no issue with protesting. I obviously support the right to protest (duh) but I think there needs to be a more cohesive an actionable plan in place for what the general public is actually wanting to be done. People are upset about so many different things and that care per person varies cause to cause. One step at a time. Getting people together is definitely a first step but what’s gonna come next?

[-]

Less than 30% of our country voted for trump.

Pam Bondi and Trump, the people with actual power, said they aren't impeaching judges and will take everything to SCOTUS if necessary. Also who the hell is the king here?

Clearly, they do. Let it slide off of your back, because these folks aren't going to change their minds here. Go to the protest - make your voice heard (by the folks stuck working on a holiday, at least). Keyboard warriors are usually too afraid of de-anonymized conflict to show up and counter-protest.

[-]

chipset0316@reddit

What would they counter protest. A protest for democracy, which is voting, and the team that won would counter protest? What would that be for? Democracy worked for them this time. It won’t always, just like it didn’t always work for Democrats.

[-]

Anon31780@reddit

Why? Because they can.

No I don’t trust Elon. And I didn’t vote for Trump. But he’s the elected President of the USA by the people.

He won, so I guess more dems woke up and moved to vote for Trump too? That is the problem with you, you can't argue without telling insults. Trump won fair and square, just respect the decision of the people who voted for him that's obviously more than Kamala's voters.

Go ahead and assemble, do your thing, but what was said doesn't add up. He won, meaning more people voted for him, whether they are dems or reps.

NotThatImportant3@reddit

I think tons of people declined to vote bc they hated Kamala and Biden, not bc they supported Trump. Almost 90 million citizens who were eligible to vote stayed at home. But, that’s irrelevant, bc you’re missing my point. Go hang out with people from every party (not just Republicans and Democrats - turns out a lot of us, like me, are neither), and you’ll realize how many people from multiple different parties have different views on Trump and join anti-Trump or pro-Trump rallies

[-]

What were the names of the police officers that died on 1/6/2021 during the insurrection?

[-]

AShiftInOrbit@reddit

So, I'm going to not bother since the way you phrased that is to particularly disregard anyone who died as a result in the following days as a result. You can easily search google for that, as y'all often like to say that you do your own research, then do it.

[-]

Chemical-Singer-4655@reddit

Fair.

[-]

sequencedStimuli@reddit

Teeing up a constitutional crisis is a crazy thing to do. The Trump admin is directly violating federal court orders regarding the release of impounded congressionally approved funds, arguing he isn’t bound by their rulings. In the same vein, Trump tried to erase a constitutional amendment via executive order. Direct attacks on the rule of law and our civil rights might not be concerning to you personally, but it isn’t a surprising thing to protest.

[-]

Pure__Satire@reddit

I'm not going to argue with you or call you names. But neither of those links had anything to do with American civil rights. You could say shutting down various pointless government agencies hurts some actual Americans, but our taxes shouldn't go to something that doesn't directly help us as US citizens. Yes, that includes sending weapons to Isreal or Ukraine, and yes, that also includes buying our 14 aircraft carrier

I understand a lot of politicians have failed us, in representing regular Americans, like fuck what about or wages? Us working class...but fucking supporting Business men and the richest men in the world will help us???

Saving change, in face, but for them to gain? Eliminating agencies providing free lunches? Will Elon fill in that gap he has the money, or will he continue his spending on his path to Mars. That's okay?? Or USAIDS, and soft influential power overseas? And helping the worse of the worse. The churches ain't doing it, cutting costs on these areas, so the richest man in the world.

Musk, doing great on advertising to grow his wealth, he needs it cus he sucks. It's all net worth. He's fucking around. Just fucking around.

This is going on nationwide, not just dallas. Y’all act like this is going to harm you when you don’t have to show up.

Vague, non-specific protest or playing Civ VII for 14 hours straight?

Hmmmm...

[-]

boomgoesthevegemite@reddit

Don’t forget that government offices will be closed that day too, so a vague non-specific protest that will be directed at a virtually empty building

[-]

doopiemcwordsworth@reddit

The protest isn’t against workers at city hall.

[-]

Prof_Fluffybottom@reddit

I'll do Civ 4 or Civ 5. Though Civ2 ToT is the favorite.

[-]

PM_ME_YOUR_LAWNCHAIR@reddit

Vague, non-specific protest or Skyrim for 6 hours, chest day at the gym, ribs and brisket with the boys for lunch, rewatch Cobra Kai part 3, banana pudding for dinner before bed.

Hmmmm...

[-]

Appathesamurai@reddit

Is Civ VII worth it? I’ve heard really mixed reports

[-]

mrpurplehawk@reddit

Sir we both know that game is not release ready. CIV V though? 😍

[-]

Realistic-Molasses-4@reddit

No no no, it's definitely shit bucket ready. Is the UI janky? Yes. Did they take away hills entirely? God damnit, yes. Influence system is lit tho!

Vague protest on a national holiday when government offices are closed? 😂

[-]

bootsbaker@reddit

What are we protesting?

[-]

chipset0316@reddit

What exactly happened was… democracy. The republicans held a primary. They voted Trump. The Democrats didn’t, appointed Kamala and the people rejected her. You are just protesting the results. If you supported democracy, you’d accept the results.

[-]

LeftFooted1@reddit

Left and right unite - you mean after the left called the right every “ist” for the past 15 years (let’s not forget the often used Nazi which is a daily calling card for the left)…you think suddenly they’ll hold hands with you?! Spoiler - F NO!!!!!

If you have a problem with the corruption being uncovered you may be the problem.

[-]

emperor_pants@reddit

What are we protesting against? Or for?

[-]

azwethinkweizm@reddit

They have no clue. It's just buzzwords and phrases designed to grab attention. "Project 2025" is the new "Russian collusion" scam.

[-]

cbrew14@reddit

You know, being ignorant doesn't make you look cool. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clykpgxm4n7o

[-]

azwethinkweizm@reddit

Name calling and conspiracy theory peddling aren't cool either.

[-]

cbrew14@reddit

Then stop doing that?

[-]

azwethinkweizm@reddit

Stop calling you names? I never started.

[-]

cbrew14@reddit

'"Project 2025" is the new "Russian collusion" scam.' Maybe it's a stretch to call your statement conspiracy theory peddling. But at the very least it spreading misinformation. When you can easily read project 2025 online, when Trump has put numerous people connected to said project into his administration, and when every day they continue to do more and more things laid out in the project, I don't know how any reasonable person can say that it is some hoax.

[-]

azwethinkweizm@reddit

I absolutely refuse to engage in this conspiracy theory nonsense. Sorry! Not interested!

ravenisblack@reddit

Man, which is it... Conspiracy... buzz words... They are following the 2025 plan to an absolute T... How bad does it have to get for people like you to care?

[-]

Anon31780@reddit

Given that you may be replying to a Russian shill account? The worse it gets, the *more* they care.

[-]

azwethinkweizm@reddit

77 million people voted for this. Cool it with the conspiracy theories and buzz words, yeah? It was ridiculous in 2016 and it's ridiculous in 2025. Lots of us are tired of this nonsense. Go have your protest. Enjoy yourself. Stay hydrated. Don't expect the rest of us to play along.

[-]

down-with-caesar-44@reddit

Bro they are purging inspectors general, firing fbi officers who prosecuted jan 6th cases, and destroying anti-scam police at the CFPB. They literally hired the dude who was in charge of project 2025.

[-]

Empress_Clementine@reddit

So is it a protest or a celebration?

[-]

emperor_pants@reddit

I mean, if there’s chicks and food I’ll go…

[-]

ZarBandit@reddit

Since you didn’t specify hot chicks, then yes there likely will be. There will also be food, if you take a sandwich.

[-]

emperor_pants@reddit

It’s a protest… I don’t expect hot people to be there.

[-]

ZarBandit@reddit

True, protesting is a job for the uglies.

[-]

emperor_pants@reddit

Only way most will get attention

[-]

Jaded-Technology-846@reddit

It's on the Pic. Did you even read it?

[-]

emperor_pants@reddit

It says “stand for democracy”… what is that?

[-]

ALaccountant@reddit

Typical Trump voter

[-]

emperor_pants@reddit

What does “standing for democracy” mean?

[-]

trebek321@reddit

Standing for the president who handily won a democratic election I suppose 🤷‍♂️

[-]

emperor_pants@reddit

Ya like, I already voted for him. He won the popular vote. Why am I gonna go waste a day off to just acknowledge what we did?

[-]

ravenisblack@reddit

Love that youre just parading down with some alts striking up different conversations with yourself lol.

[-]

emperor_pants@reddit

Huh?

[-]

botgeek1@reddit

So you can't answer the question. Says a lot...

[-]

Mobydick8524@reddit

Yeah! let's protest cutting Gov waste and spending. Let's protest stopping wars , let's protest kicking out violent criminals, let's protest making America healthy, let's protest stopping other countries from fucking us over on tariffs, let's protest cutting defense budget in half. Let's protest auditing IRS and Pentagon and Dept of Defense! Fuck holding the Gov accountable, let's protest release of JFK , RFK, MLK, UFO, Sept 11th, and Epstein files! Fuck Gov transparency - we want Gov to waste money and lie to us! Vote blue ! Vote Democrat who want this^^^^^ fuck Trump for trying to achieve all that.

[-]

LadyValor@reddit

If only the administration was targeting only waste and fraud, that would be nice. I check multiple news sources to get multiple perspectives on what's happening. The problem I see is that a lot of the constitutional protections are being eroded. We have a great country but we will be in serious trouble if the guard rails get dismantled. If you fully trust the person in office, then they shouldn't be violating the guard rails. If you don't trust the person, those guard rails are your only protection.

[-]

Mobydick8524@reddit

When you say they aren't targeting only waste and fraud, what are they targeting that isn't that you think American tax dollars should go to.

[-]

bryanmac305@reddit

Stand for democracy?? I’m sorry I don’t live in a democracy. I live in a constitutional republic.!

[-]

ZarBandit@reddit

Well, it’s the corpse of a Republic puppeteered like A weekend at Bernies. But maybe that’s TMI.

[-]

Devil_Doge@reddit

Just like our last president.

StormForeign@reddit

Somebody paid attention in History class.

Misleading on the poster to try to rally support is probably a bad sign for your cause

[-]

Manueljw@reddit

I support President Trump!

No way Jose

[-]

Kooky-Collection-486@reddit

Oh, now the left want to unite. Lol Interesting. Maybe don't call us all nazis for not being communists next time.

[-]

mscottoffice@reddit (OP)

🤷‍♂️ I'm a centrist and don't call people nazis. Just worried about rule of law. I understand not everyone shares that concern, or doesn't think rule of law is an issue right now.

Personally, I think most of the left vs right identity is pushed by the billionaires so we keep fighting each other and don't pay attention to what their doing. The comments on this post being a case in point.

[-]

mega_vega@reddit

I acknowledge and applaud your concern. I’m concerned as well. Trump didn’t run on having an u elected billionaire doing everything, or ignoring court rulings. Im with you.

[-]

FunDragonfruit4912@reddit

Billionaires don't care about your 450 credit score. Let them do their job stopping more tax dollars go to waste.

I’m content with our President. Give me some imaginary downvotes.

dilbert1011@reddit

Yes!!!!! Reject the results of the election to protect democracy!!!

[-]

FunDragonfruit4912@reddit

Candidate says his election promises. Majority votes for the candidate. Canditate gets elected. Elected delivers on his election promises. Leftists whine and complain.

Leftists don't seem to take the L really well.

[-]

Tralliz@reddit

Not contesting results. Contesting actions.

Go read a book.

[-]

dilbert1011@reddit

Ha ha ha Ad hominem attack!!! Brilliant

[-]

Tralliz@reddit

I could explain to you how it's not an ad hominem, but it'd be no use. It's clear you're not here for actual discussion.

[-]

dilbert1011@reddit

😂

[-]

Tralliz@reddit

The laughing emoji response. Brilliant!!!

[-]

dilbert1011@reddit

Because you have no argument, I find it funny, hence the laughing emoji

[-]

Tralliz@reddit

There is no argument. It's all in your head.

[-]

grubbalubbadubdub@reddit

Where on the poster does it say to reject election results? It doesn’t… though that did happen… on Jan 6. This is just projection.

[-]

andvinhow@reddit

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[-]

bryanmac305@reddit

So we are we protesting that our government is being audited?? Are we protesting that they’re finding a lot of wasteful spending? And more protesting because we’re mad that we’re finding all this wasteful spending. Is that what we’re protesting about?

Because otherwise protesting for any other reason would be just a waste of time.

[-]

Ok-Metal-4719@reddit

Any protest for the Texas House on another long weekend?

Uncle Sam also wanted to destabilize South America. No thanks.
