    And yet, look at any major city after a sports team win. The harsh truth is the protest turnout here in the states is pathetic. It’s low to the point of being embarrassing. It’s so low, that right wingers can use it as evidence of support for Trump; because clearly, if people were actually upset, there would be more than just a handful of people showing up and peacefully standing around.

    Again, look at the streets after a sports team wins a game. Don’t tell me people can’t show up. Don’t tell me people can’t do more than hold signs. They do it all the fucking time because their group of guys moved a ball better than another group of guys.

    The fact is, Americans don’t protest because we’ve mostly become disillusioned and have given up. There hasn’t been a single protest that accomplished anything since the Occupy Wall Street movement, and all that accomplished was getting media companies to circle the wagons and ensure they never, ever talk about class war again.

      Any major city after sports win? I wasn’t aware the whole US was Philadelphia. You literally only see what happens after major events where there’s already a fuck ton of people not from that city ready to leave the stadium with nothing better going on. What an awful comparison.

      Oh blow it out your ass.

      I’m so sick of sanctimonious Europeans condescending on situations they have little understanding over. Sorry I’m not going to die bum rushing the oval office and leave my son homeless and hungry to make some ignorant European feel better.

      Fuck you. You’ve all been cheering on my suffering while I worked to fix this place. Fuck you guys. Fuck the Fascists. This is between you two now. Neither of you were ever on my side. I’m never lifting my finger for a European/Canadian again. You assholes can handle it yourself. I wish the Jews you guys committed a genocide against had just protested a bit harder, huh?

      Just look at the stadiums on Sundays. Full to capacity in every major city. Broadcast live for everyone to see. Forget about your lives we give you modern gladiators. Now rejoice and pay us money!

        There were more people at the protests you all are bitching about than “the stadium” on Sunday. Lol. You will complain about anything to make yourself feel bigger.
