Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?

  I think the nice thing about a protest is that it’s a show of power, strength, and unity. It sends a message to those on the outside that there is a number of people who believe in a common goal. And really, the message is one all Americans can pretty much agree on and that’s trickle down isn’t tricking and corporate profits are on the rise.

  The longer the protests, the worse taxes become from tariffs, the more cuts they make to social services, the more people could snowball this into a movement.

  The power of protests are People.

  protests represent the threat of violence. the threat went away and the rulers stopped listening.
