U.S. President Donald Trump is in Scotland Saturday to play golf, and is expected to hold trade talks with the UK Prime Minister Starmer and EU Commission President von der Leyen.
In one country 0.018% rocks up at a moment’s notice for a guy they could care less about and has no real effect on their lives, isn’t deporting their families or screwing them out of medicare. He’s not disrespecting their vets or pulling them off food stamps. He’s coming over to golf, that’s the extent of the relation.
They just don’t like him and will make some time on whatever Sunday he rocks up to tell him that.
Compare that to to 1.4% (barely 100x more) protesting after years of crimes, n and proud admissions of rape, child molestation, cheating at 3 elections, being illegitimate installed as president right now, impeachments, thousands of illegal deportations of fellow citizens or countrymen, complete bonkers enrichment with crypto scams, gross incompetence on lots of levels, including militarily and economically, embroiled in scandal after scandal
So after MONTHS of organising, there were 2 protests which had over 1% of the population out on the streets. And now… nothing. Not even a general strike. Because the free markets are so free, you freely would like to express your freedom of expression if you only were actually free.
Have a look at when that magical 1% threshold was breached in other countries historically and for what reasons.
And while you’re there, look at what happened after. Typically when you have 1% protests, they are met with action from the goverment. Promises and changes are made to appease the protesters. Back in the USA, they went home, and stayed home. Deportations continued afterwards. And then a bill was signed to make ICE the new gestapo and become the biggest domestic paramilitary organisation in the world.
Not sure why anyone would ever try to claim “Americans are great protesters, and love civil action”.
Let’s do per capita then:
“hundreds of protesters” (we’ll round up to 1000) of 5.5 million => 0.018%
5 million of 347 million => 1.4%
I assume the original comment was a joke but glad you to get to feel so high and mighty about it.
I’m really not sure what you’re trying to prove.

“Barely 100x more.”
Sorry to hear your american ass couldn’t read all of my response. I’ll try to be briefer next time.
I’m just making fun of your dumb statement, not trying to address anything else.
