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

    Canada here. We see nothing about Murcan protests, if they exist. We just hear Canadians/politicians reacting negatively to pretty much everything coming out of the white house.

    We ask each other how can Murcans be okay with being treated like this. Don’t they understand what’s happening?

      I really hope you’re right. I’m actually very scared that they’ll take over our social media this election season and we’ll get fucked as well.

      No. Overwhelmingly, no, they don’t. The MAGA crowd is stuck to their pants with glee, the liberal crowd is going “oh well, we’ll get em in the midterms,” and about another third of the country is just brain-dead clueless about all of it. Maybe a few thousand people in the US actually understand just how close we are to cascading systemic collapse.
