[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been in london, France and Germany and everyone wants to talk politics and every single person has the same q: why are Americans not at very least protesting if not striking or rioting in the streets. I don’t know, bc I grew up in the uk where we do strike and protest I think more, what to tell them. Why aren’t we? Why are we just rolling over and letting Trump do this to our country? [/quote]

Actually I was reading an article last night that showed a lot of large protests going on that the media is not covering.....I wonder why :roll: This is from Hitler play book.....create the narrative and keep media in line. People need to wake up and yes we need to get bigger and louder.[/quote]

This.  A huge number of people are protesting but ever since Vietnam protests are no longer covered in the media.  Hundreds of thousands of people protested the invasion of Iraq, but the media ignored it.

Hundreds of thousands are protesting now (if you add up the demonstrations all over the country) but the media isn't covering it.

Also, one national demonstration with hundreds of thousands of people protesting takes months to organize, and people here aren't the types to illegally take to the streets especially with a President who doesn't care about the law and has actually declared that he will send US citizens to El Salvadoran prisons if they don't fall in line.[/quote]
We already know from polling that 100+ million Americans are strongly opposed to Trump’s actions.  What good does having 100,000 people marching around do?  [/quote]

The question was, from Europeans, why are people not in the streets?  My answer is that they are.  The question of whether or not it is strategic and the best use of our resources to take to the streets and stop the regular functioning of society, as often happens in Europe, is a valid one.  It is also not the one I was addressing.[/quote]

also our elections are on a timeline. taking to the streets accomplishes nothing b/c the elected officals will have tehir deats until they are voted out on the schedule despite how hated they are. In europe they have a less stabel system and protesting can dissolve governments. In the US our system only rewards protesting in the voting booth. we eed to let Elon trump sink his own ship and then in 2026 teake bacj an activae congress. doing anything other than community support to mitigate teh harm these peopel are doing is pointless- we can also call our reps but yelling in teh street didnt stop Iraq whch is arguably teh stupidest thing the modern western world has ever done. The whole igrant crisis, masses of muslims in europe etc etc is all b.c of iraq and people protested when they should ve been calling senator clinton in NY and the rest of them to stop teh invasion and to listen the french who were 100% correct about iraq as well as the  correct method to make fried, juilianed  potatoes.
