    Protests are not enough. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. Just not everyone is ready to admit it yet.

            I mean, if your country is working like a functioning democracy run by responsible adults, you might not need to do anything about that except be reasonably productive and pay your taxes.

              I’m sorry. This isn’t directed at you.

              “if your country is working like a functioning democracy run by responsible adults”

              This is a common trope, even over twenty years ago in grade school the notion was that we have an oligarchy or worse. American Democracy was effective propaganda.
