    If I know anything about people in power is that they never learn. Colin kapernick kneeled to protest police brutality. Not even a year later George Floyd dies from police brutality and people rioted and burned down police station etc…

    If you don’t let people protest THEY WILL RIOT.

      Not to mention Kap got the suggestion to take a knee from a goddamn Green Beret. The majority of Americans are taught that nationalism=patriotism and that’s a dangerous way to think, especially when we have the biggest guns.

      Americans are apathetic, misinformed, dissuaded or exhausted by everything going on the last 8 years or so.

      Would be totally surprised if major public protests happened. People mainly just look out for themselves. That’s the American way. Community has been removed and replaced with TV.

        I mean, the literal design of an American suburb is to make sure everyone stays as individualistic as possible and does not connect or form community. It is by design

          American exceptionalism is finding an excuse for why nothing can ever work in your country yet does anywhere else.

          Meanwhile the altright descended on and almost toppled your entire system of government a few years back.

          I remember 20 years cities all across America protesting against the WoT and 1%ers.

          But nope, just can’t happen in America, they’re special.
