To be factual, there have been numerous protests since January, at least 1 major nationwide protest per month from what I have been seeing anecdotally.
Also reports and estimates suggest the No Kings protest might have been one of largest nationwide protests in US history, like the Women's Rights one in 2017. There's another scheduled literally for today.
The US is not a monolith. It is impressive how quickly protests started after election, and how large they have been, how numerous the locations are they take place, and how sustained this has been for over 6 months now.
Not everyone agrees and will protest. Not everyone believes in protesting. Not everyone CAN protest. It is crazy though how many have and continue to. Clearly this is a very controversial and unpopular presidency.
Yeah, what you call numerous and be all impressed by is for the rest of the world kind of a "meh"
In other countries they know how to protest, I guess the American population has been brainwashed or something? If you hear "best countrah evah!" all day every day you might indeed be tempted to think your own farts smell like roses.
I don't care that it was the largest protest ever in the country that doesn't know how to protest. Your country is fucking my country. Your country is fucking all other countries in the world. Do something about that, please
Biggest in US history and only a day. Look at France when they tried to increase the retirement age. You guys can't even do that for a take over of your government. Yes you need your job for health care.
