Danish kids are also usually not being shot at at school
Who said Vance believes this?
To be fair, after reading his Signal messages: that guy really seems to swallow up his own propaganda, he really seems to be that stupid. Doesn't mean, the overall government strategy isn't exactly as described, could just be that Shady Vance is not in on the joke or he also needed to pretend for some others in that chat
Well, duh? Who do you think doesn't know that?
To be fair, Jeffrey Combs played every second alien in Star Trek, Wayne Alexander every second alien in Babylon 5, but: Jeffrey Combs was also in B5, Wayne Alexander never in Star Trek
Yep, absolutely, it's not even a contest
Not every war crime is a genocide
VP: I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC.
These idiots actually believe their own propaganda. We're truly fucked
Yes, the US is huge, but the population is concentrated to a huge part at the coasts and you have some of the biggest metropolitan areas on the planet. Your urbanisation rate (82%) is actually higher than ours (77%).
Obama's inauguration was attended by up to 1.8 mio people. Sports events are attended by a lot of people, too, hell, your college football arenas are bigger than most of our stadiums for international soccer matches. So it's very much possible to get that many people to the same place in the US.
I know your public transit is shit, but it's not that shitty in big cities. In Chicago and New York it's pretty much comparable to European cities. I don't expect huge protests in Bumfuck, Ohio, we don't have any in Arschderheide either. I'd expect them in big cities, where there are more than enough people living in, and in close proximity to the city.
My point is, you have far stronger arguments than geography. Arrests are a lot less common at aforementioned events. You guys work a lot more than us (35% more according to UECD, which is absolutely fucking insane, I'd expect a revolution here for that alone) and therefore have less time to spend on protests and also a weaker safety net if you lose your job. And we don't need to talk about media coverage, that is a huge issue. But "it's hard to get to the protest, I won't find parking" just seems whiny.
Take a look at these numbers, Americans.
Not American, still looked. 21 500 in Paris, 34 000 at the Sanders/AOC rally. What's your point exactly? There are some recent protests, where you could make this argument, this one in France is not one of them.

I was on vacation in Vilnius last year. The airport was crowded with military transport planes from Germany and Portugal and we saw dozens of German soldiers in the city. If he's starting to complain now, he's pretty late. The troop build-up has been going on for a while now.
