I dont understand why there is no major protest in the streets? Ive seen some 30k protester meeting but thats about it...Americans are about to lose it all and the only thing I see is a lot of talking on reddit but nothing else.
In Montreal we had up to 500k protester for climate change and we are only 40million in Canada you would think that a 300million+ country would do better for their rights and democracy.
The way its going by the end of april its gonna be too late.
Even if your president made it clear that our partnership is dead Canadians are still with you in their hearts to fight those wannabe Hitler.
Edit: seems like the post is minimizing the hard and so repectable work you guys are doing. It is not my intention at all. English is not my first language so it might not sound the way Id like it to. You guys are straight heros nothing less than straight heros. Sorry if it hurts anyone feelings. If it is too insulting I can delete the post by respect for you all.

I would 100% go if I knew all my fellow protesters were only going to protest.
Lots of people are very angry- which is valid and I get it - but personally I am not interested in violence or destruction of property. It’s hard to know if those things will be part of a protest or not.
I have gone and will go to protests, but fear that they will turn chaotic makes me less likely to go. Also not at all convinced that small ones are effective, and big ones are rare.
Tesla Takedown’s can get rowdy but are mainly peaceful. 50501 and Indivisible are strictly peaceful.
There are the risk of instigators at any protests. I’d just recommend you find a good group you are comfortable with.
My 50501 group is really well managed. There are peacekeepers there in vests. One time, we got too rowdy and started to walk into the road (not on purpose). But the peacekeepers reminded us to stay on the sidewalk.
