I suppose one could also measure against current standards in France, Spain, Albania and Serbia.

It doesn’t make any sense to say that people should first have to be comfortable and secure before they can protest. If Americans had the standard of living of a prosperous country, they wouldn’t need to protest.

Sure but your comment was a reply that was about the ALMOST 1800s.

Also, I already commented a link about the No Kings protests earlier in this post.

  So? People had to take shits in 1789, doesn’t mean they can just stop going now even though that was a long time ago.

  So which is it? Americans don’t protest significantly because they don’t have health care covered for protesting, or they do, and the No Kings protests are an example?
  
  It’s obviously neither of these. Americans don’t protest against the government much because a) things simply haven’t gotten bad enough and b) Americans are indoctrinated into believing the US is the richest country in the world and simply don’t know how far the US economy has fallen behind the most prosperous countries in the world.
