    There are already riots and protests here and it’s been happening for years, not sure where you are getting your information from if you think otherwise.

    Now, I think these will intensify if anything illegal happens with the midterms, more people will definitely lose their shit at that point, but protests have been pretty steady in every state. In fact, they have been record setting protests, so to imply people aren’t already protesting in the US definitely not true at all.

    I suspect maybe the corporate owned news is part of the reason so many people think it’s not really happening, but it is and if you make a point to look for examples, plenty are available.

      I get my news from many sources, I know about the No Kings protests. They pale in comparison to what’s happening somewhere like Paris. If a protest is inconsequential, then it means very little, people go about their day.
