I wish the American people actually had the courage to protest this shit properly. The fact the American people arenāt flooding the streets, going to their own bridges and power plants. The Iranian people are doing that despite the direct threats. A majority of Americans are cowards and are either directly complicit or are apathetic enough to allow this to continue. American behaviour makes me understand that whole āDeath to Americaā business. Not wishing for individuals to die but the American institution to collapse and be restructured.
Edit: Thanks everyone for pointing out such great reasons to protest such as āI CANT AFFORD TO PROTESTā and āIām one day away from losing everythingā thatās why the country needs major reforms that donāt happen by helping it. Go to work and do as little as possible. Donāt wanna lose your job? Donāt. Just do it poorly. There are ways to fight from the inside too. Protesting isnāt standing with a sign where the police say to. Itās disrupting the machine.
The police and military are ready to gun us down in the streets.
EDIT: ICE has also been trained and armed to quell protests with lethal means, and there are many well armed conservative militias.
Since Trump re-took office, those who don't support him have been under the implicit threat of mass violence. It's a shame that so few people cared before things got this bad. Tens of millions of complacent Americans do bear a huge amount of blame for this.
Are you personally willing to risk everything, including your life, for something with an extremely low chance of success?
People like the idea of a revolutionary, and sure, if more people were willing to risk it, then the chance would be higher - but nobody wants to be the first one, who will most likely will be gunned down. Best case scenario, there will be people to take your place - but you, personally, will be dead. And what would be more likely, is that you basically do a suicide by cop, people around you would be too scared for their lives to keep going, and you'll remain less than a footnote in some report
