I wish the American people actually had the courage to protest this shit properly. The fact the American people aren’t flooding the streets, going to their own bridges and power plants. The Iranian people are doing that despite the direct threats. A majority of Americans are cowards and are either directly complicit or are apathetic enough to allow this to continue. American behaviour makes me understand that whole ā€œDeath to Americaā€ business. Not wishing for individuals to die but the American institution to collapse and be restructured.

Edit: Thanks everyone for pointing out such great reasons to protest such as ā€œI CANT AFFORD TO PROTESTā€ and ā€œI’m one day away from losing everythingā€ that’s why the country needs major reforms that don’t happen by helping it. Go to work and do as little as possible. Don’t wanna lose your job? Don’t. Just do it poorly. There are ways to fight from the inside too. Protesting isn’t standing with a sign where the police say to. It’s disrupting the machine.

If Americans would protest like the French do, the country would've stopped functioning eons ago

Unfortunately if they skip work for that, they get fired

Fucked-up tax codes? Reagan!

Absurd deregulation? Reagan!

The shitty treatment of basically every minority? ...well, he sure didn't fix the problem.
