I see it more communicating this idea that as other countries rightfully discuss the ramifications and impact that a fascist American leader has on them, Americans feel the need to pop in and make it about themselves and seek some kind of validation. Like, okay, cool, how about you go fix your damn fascist country then instead of seeking brownie points?

Please give me working instructions for fixing this shit. Been protesting and voting for 20 years and shit only gets worse.

A protest in France looks very different than a protest in the states.. all I'm saying.

Our police can shoot us dead and people in most of the country will look the other way because law and order, especially if you're not white. America has been fascist for a long time, it didn't suddenly start under Trump.

Look at the BLM protests, they were huge, but the sentiment of half of the country was against them and there were many who fantasized about police or vigilantes making the streets run with blood. And in the end the thugs with badges are still well funded and well armed.
