    1. there are protests pretty much everywhere. persistent and on going.
    2. tearing down the east wing may have been retaliation for no kings 2 in which 7-8 million people turned up across the nation, setting records for turn out- at least as the largest turn out in US history; and I can think of a small handful globally that are larger.
    3. going on a general strike means not earning money, means not being able to feed your kids.
    4. If you’re wondering why we’re not protesting in DC…The US is the size of the EU. imagine going from Madrid to Amstardam. That’s the same straightline distance from me to DC. and I’m only in Minneapolis- people In LA? that’s more than double. forget people in Hawai’i, or any of the pacific Islanders. Or Alaska. driving, that’s a 16 hour drive, non stop, one way.

    It’s easy to sit there and feed into this narrative that americans are just going along with it. We’re not. you don’t hear about it because mainstream media here isn’t covering it. and no, we’re not asking you to come save us. if it comes to it- and right now, it’s looking like it will- we’re going to civil war.
