The most disappointing thing to me as European is, that the American people are just accepting it (besides being outraged on social media of course. In Europe you have hundred thousands on the streets for far less and you guys just...don't care enough I guess. Sad.

Ok? This only makes it more sad that all there is are protests of a couple hundred here and there maybe thousands once a year if the weather is nice, right?

The media isn't going to the local protests that spring up around the country almost every weekend. May I kindly ask that you not kick us with your criticism while we're down? It's been 8 mo and moving fast. We have a non-existent congress. We are still wrapping our heads around how to fight this.

Germany this year. No actual ongoing fascist takeover, only high polling results for far right AfD. 250-300.000 people in Munich alone. THIS. This is how you fight it. You ppl will be required to shout "Heil Trump" soon and still tell us "You need to think about how to fight this"..

There are pictures like this from every major city in America. But you don't see it because the media refuses to cover it.

Well, y'all do have previous experience with fascism in Germany. I applaud you for learning from your mistakes. We're learning now. Maybe Germany will come to our rescue? Ya getting the hint?

You literally flood the streets. Every major city, every day, tens of thousands so it can't be ignored. But you all rather complain on social media. And if someone tells you to get your asses up now, you cry that your feeling got hurt. There is actually no hope for you guys, I am sorry.

How many thousands? 3, 30? Because US population is around 300 million, so anything below 300 000 is completely insignificant. And trump would maybe start worrying at 3 000 000.

Munich had a protest of around 250k this year, against AfD. Munich has a population of 1.5 million. It has to be enough ppl to disrupt a city at least partially. It has to be constant/ongoing. All I see so far is that the US is ready to accept fascism and a king/dictator.

I am on your side. And it is amazing how people in Munich mobilized. I am just thinking that unlike people in Munich, a lot of people in the US do not understand what is coming.

Ah yes, both side blame "the media". I see the little crowds on social media. Let's be honest though, this is absolutely nothing. We have more protesters on a rural town when the beer prices are raised 10% This isn't enough, this isn't it.
