I’m shocked that I haven’t seen one protest yet. Is the media suppressing them? If there aren’t any, why?

    We had an election and Trump won fair and square. All you can do is regroup and get prepared for the next election.

    I think this is a factor of your media echo chamber. I’ve personally attended protests nearly every week since January. I’m going to one tomorrow. They are all over my news feeds.

    Because the Americans don’t know how to protest.

    To a Frenchman a protest is storming and taking control of the representation of authority in the country.

    To a Greek a protest is filling the streets of many cities throughout the country with hundreds of thousands of people.

    To an American a protest involves standing in a square by the few hundreds, holding signs with semi-sarcastic or passive aggressive messages written on them.

    Americans are too dumd down, pacified, apathetic and fatalistic.
    Europe or other places would be on fire.
    In the US taking a group walk with some signs and shouting is already too much to ask.
    Let the downvotes rain for the uncomfortable truth.
