So this forum is pretty much 100% Anti-Trump, with hundreds, maybe thousands of posts displaying disgust, rage and utter disbelief being posted every day.
This thread is aimed at Americans, because this is the one thing that strikes me not only as odd, but leaves me pretty distraught and led me to being incredibly cynical about not only the concept of America as a country, but the American populace specifically: Why are there so few protests? With which I mean:
Why aren't there country-wide protests of thousands of people in every large city every single week? A few months ago the Women's March gave me the impression this would be the start of a resistant movement, showing where the will of the american people truly lies. Turns out: It wasn't the beginning, it was the end. The Women's March didn't start a wildfire that spread across the country and only got bigger with every single terrible thing Trump has said and done, but...didn't do anything, really.
Obviously, there are protests and rallys, as the tragedy in CHarlottesville has shown us. But they don't seem nearly as prevalent and big as I would assume.
Now your president didn't only pull you out of the biggest and most important climate deal in history, but also threatened nuclear war with another Country and showed his support for Neo-Nazis against the "Alt-Left".
If all of this was't enough to mobilize people, I don't see what could ever be. So I wanted to get more specific and I'm honestly interested in real answers, not only in blaming others: If you didn't go to a rally and showed your support against Trump, protesting his borderline insane regime - why not? What would have to happen for you to consider it?
