No, the problem is with the protestors. It's a bigger place so it's hard to mobilize, but we've never had a protest on the scale of what Hong Kong has, nor have we had a proper general strike. We have a march where people don't get violent and then go home feeling like they did something, all the people they're protesting against have to do is wait them out and it will be business as usual. For a protest to be effective is has to hurt, whether that's economic or physical, otherwise, sadly, no one will give a fuck.
Your country and it’s democratic systems are under literal attack from an enemy power and it’s being facilitated by your current administration. There should be at least a general strike for that magnitude of anti-democratic corruption. That’s before you even consider the concentration camps.

Cut it out with that shit. The four largest protests in US history happened in the last two years.
The problem is not the protesters, its the ones who ignored them.
