I was just telling Diana like two months ago that our 10th president had a living grandson. Pretty wild.

You sure are quick to generalize a nation with 8.5 times your country’s population, aren’t you? Are you one of those people who believes everything the media tells you and ignores everything it doesn’t report on?

There is no right answer. As I stated, protests don’t always work. Many people who realize that don’t bother protesting for this very reason. Protests mean nothing to a megalomaniac who wields power. It’s just misguided to say Americans aren’t doing anything about it. Not everything makes the news.

As I’ve already addressed elsewhere, where people protest absolutely matters. State capitals house politicians who represent the state at the local and federal level and are far more suitable for demonstrations against inaction in our government than any large city that overwhelmingly votes blue.

Protesting in New York, or anywhere outside of where the politicians actually are, would be purely symbolic, as the city is overwhelmingly progressive and holds no clout over what happens in Washington. Do protests work? Usually, yes. Does it matter where people protest? Even more so.

I’m not disagreeing, but Americans are disgusted with what’s happening and are doing something one way or another. The rest of the world doesn’t see it and decides to criticize and generalize us as a group. It’s tiring, discouraging, and sounds like rhetoric coming from the people we’re protesting.

That’s wild. I didn’t think they ever wanted us to believe something truthful.

People protest all over the US, but using this as an example of what America should be doing is misguided. The US isn’t a small country with easy mobility and a centrally located capital where people with more time off can protest under a government that currently allows them to do so.

Which is nice and everything, but is it enough support to win? Kamala Harris spoke to packed venues while Trump’s rallies during 2024 had large swaths of empty seats.
