    I can’t prove a negative, but it would be extremely easy to disprove my claim by pointing to massive demonstrations in USA that took more than a couple of days.
    The no kings was promising but went nowhere, there is no obvious grass root movement.

    This should be bigger than occupy wall street but it isn’t.

    Regarding the 2%, that’s about what it looks like, I haven’t made meticulous calculations or seen actual professional estimates, but I can tell you that 10% looks like a lot more than what we are seeing in USA.

    This is what a massive demonstration looks like:

    Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of the capital, Sofia, as well as at least a dozen other cities on Monday evening in the biggest protests the Balkan country has seen for years.

    You may not see that there is an obvious problem in USA, even if the administration allows a Democratic administration to take over after next election.
    The mere fact that Trump was elected, shows that the American society is sick.
    You may call that another sweeping statement, but then it’s also a sweeping statement to say a person has cancer. Because it’s not all the cells in that persons body that are cancerous, in fact generally most of the cells are healthy. But that doesn’t help that person one bit when that person dies of cancer!!

    I would like to know why you want me to back up my statement, when you could easily disprove it if it isn’t true.

      It seems like you want the entire country to openly go into civil war, while completely dismissing the actual things that are happening.

      So just someone who wants to get on the USA hate train.

      My dude, the hate train is going full steam and for many, too numerous to list reasons. you don’t have to deny reality to try and make it seem worse.

        And what in my comments makes you think that? Problem is that allegedly Trump is already using the national guard now to stop protests around the White house.
        While he prevented them when he tried to make a coup when he lost last time.
        Trump is a traitor, and he wants to end democracy, but maybe you don’t understand that?
