People across the world already very well know that Trump is unpopular. That is not the problem. The problem is that you guys continue to just allow that guy to run your country.
As long as there isn't massive civil unrest in the country, it looks like from an outside perspective as if you're just letting him do whatever he wants without much resistance. Writing some insults isn't going to change that perspective.
It bears mentioning that the large scale protests you see in other parts of the world are often in places where there are strong worker protection laws.
In the US almost every single person is literally one major medical incident away from living in their car, one missed mortgage payment away from living in their car, and one missed insurance payment from not getting the medicine they literally need to survive. Most US states allow an employer to fire one of their employees without any warning or cause whatsoever, so long as the reason for the termination doesn't fit into one of several small boxes...which they would need to admit for it to be actionable, anyway.
My point being, a big part of the reason why you don't see protests like you do in say, France, is that unlike France, the people here are largely wage slaves that cannot afford to even miss work when suffering from extreme illness, let alone to take to the streets over that asshole pedophile acting like an asshole pedophile. This has been by design.
Don't mistake a population of people spending all their energy holding onto the little they have for one that supports this regime. Whether you think their action or lack of action is justifiable, you need to at least admit it's understandable.
Wage slaves have FEWER excuses for refusing to riot, not more.
The very definition of revolution, resistance, uprising, civil unrest is that things are going to fall apart bigly and badly. If everyone who rises up & sacrifices their jobs therefore their lives, then at least the ruling class will no longer have us as their slaves. Because we died in protest. Who will make their food & build their mansions & chauffeur their limos & rub their feet & clean up their messes when we're all dead? We might have to make the ultimate sacrifice. Touché. 💀
