It's happened about two dozen times this year.  Protesters standing or lying in the middle of major highways, chaining themselves together or to their cars... one of the groups even stuck their arms into barrels, handcuffed themselves together inside the barrels, and then filled the barrels with concrete.  They often do it during rush hour, blocking traffic up for miles and miles and stopping thousands, if not tens of thousands of people, in traffic for hours.  Ambulances, fire trucks, police vehicles and other municipal and emergency vehicles have also been reported as not being able to do their jobs.

Are you in favor of this, like evertroll, or do you think it's an absolute disgrace and these people should be fined heavily and imprisoned, like Lyin' Steve?

It's a very poor tactic.

First of all, what kind of name is 'evertroll'?

Second off, evergreen is a better poster than you ever will be.

Either way, FP.

Fascism doesn't mean what you want it to mean, but no I'm not ok with it. Blocking ambulances certainly isn't a good way to fight it though.

If I shot my neighbor in the head and said I did it because Trump is a fascist, would y'all be ok with that?

Absolutely abhor it. Nothing will get me opposed to your cause faster than pulling crap like this.

It's pretty similar to blocking ambulances.

This protest is small potatoes compared to what would happen if Trump becomes the nominee.

Regardless, FF.

These people will justify literally anything, even the most inexcusable actions (which we have seen at these protests), by saying "well it's ok because Trump is a fascist"

Certainly not. He is a strong populist leader. He doesn't hate anybody and hate is a necessary ingredient of the fascist ideology.

It's morally wrong and counterproductive for their political cause.

If you are a protestor and block major roads you don't just prevent Trump supporters from attending stupid rallies but you are also a douche to the single mother who works two jobs to make ends meet and is in a hurry to go home to her kids.

That single mom is gonna vote for TRUMP. You can bet on it.

Maybe it's  because blocking highways is a very common way of protest over here, but I just don't give a damn
