    One thing that’s really frustrating is that in other countries where democracy is in danger you see huge protests in the streets.

    Hong Kong protests

    Hungary protests

    France protests

    That gives the distinct impression that even if the average American doesn’t support what Trump is doing, they don’t really oppose it enough to bother shutting down the country.

      Not surprising at all. Look at how many convinced themselves to stay home the one time they couldve prevented this shitstorm.

      8 million Americans protested at over 3,300 No Kings events nationwide on Saturday March 28, the largest single-day protest in American history. Source

      I know the only goal here is to shit on the US but there are plenty of ways to do that on legitimate points without making up absolute bullshit, so please eat a nice fat American dick with this nonsense.
