Or people can start protesting right outside the damn White House. The US have become so weak in terms of protesting, lost their roots. Protesting in approved parks won't do jack.

Im in Los Angeles and been to a lot of massive protests at City Hall, the Federal Building, Veterans Building in Westwood, at SpaceX and outside the downtown detention facility.

That's good. But it's not enough. It's passed off as blue state noise. It has to be tens of millions of people everywhere.

If 5 million people showed up at the White House I don’t think they’d be able to stop us from dragging that dead-eyed nitwit out of his little bunker and Penceing him.

Honestly. I don't even think most would try to stop you. His little private army would scatter

Good for you, I hope you can gather a lot of people to join in and do the same. Protests need to be targeted like you mentioned. Standing outside our own house or going to a park somewhere that doesn't inconvenient the billionaire robber barons and their bad actors will not acomplish much.

The problems, and this is not a knock on anyone, is that most of us have had it so good in N.A. for so long we're soft. Strong protests come from real suffering, but I think people are starting to get it.

I'm sure Canada has her own set of problems, but the US is the most disappointing country today in my opinion. It is unheard of anywhere in the Developed Democratic sphere that a country can treat healthcare as a business and the people aren't angry enough to force that to change.

Our issues are not even close to yours, for now. But what is happening in the US affects us all. The old saying is if the US sneezes, Canada catches a cold.

I completely agree with you. The US have become blind for the last five decades. Should have woke up in 2016, but not enough did so real reform didn't win. While many have moved from bad times to good like in my case Taiwan, R.O.C. the US is going from a good standard to bad.

The military has been deployed to squash any protests.

That's why it's hard. Eventually, many of the military will cross to the other side of the line. The other option is do what you're doing and kiss any chance of returning to a democracy goodbye. It may even be too late already
