      Are Americans going to do anything to resist, or is the frog going to keep sitting in boiling water?

          Did they actually achieve anything? Protest is a nice tool, but there is a place and a time, and seems like at this particular time this tool doesn’t fit the place

            No. It’s gonna have to get bad before any real violent resistance begins here. Like food riots bad.

            We are the most propagandized nation on the planet. We’re practically bred to be docile slaves. Indoctrinated from the age of 5.

            I guess that depends on what you think qualifies as an achievement? So far we’ve had at least two massive protests and the local small protests that I see daily. Is “getting the message out” in person and expanding an achievement to you?

            I don’t think the protestors will achieve any real success like getting Trump out of office, but people are definitely protesting peacefully.

            I don’t think it will work but time will tell
