The media is definitely covering it. If your media sites don’t cover it, block that media site and follow one that does.
Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?

Loads of people in this thread saying they’re happening but media not covering them…
I don’t think that’s really what is meant by “mass protests”. In the not so distant past I would have thought every american man woman and child would be weeping in the streets at the corruption and despotism.
There are protests, and maybe they’re not being covered, but it’s not the type of civil unrest I would have expected honestly.

That’s… not really what I was getting at.

Europe has roughly the same land mass as the United States and less than half the population. The population density and urbanization is even lower.
So for the USA it’s actually quite a bit to have protests of hundreds in smaller towns and state capitols.
Major cities can muster the large groups, but the consistent and widespread nature of the protests should not be discounted.
Incidentally I am also not seeing counter protests or demonstrations of support.
