They have intelligence agencies that crush the vocal ones. I protested and was assaulted after I was arrested. It changed my life. The government granted the agent who assaulted me immunity. You can Google the case and read the details. “Gilson v. Alvarez IV”.
The FBI presented modified evidence in order to try to put me in federal jail because I protested over a thought crime of doing hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage because I was holding something over 3 lb. I luckily remembered something from almost a year prior which was on the tape that they excluded.
The system is not good for the people who are trying to fix the system. I was a federal employee and disabled veteran. I’m just trying to make America better. They’ll kill me for it.
Unfortunately half of the population genuinely believes that Healthcare is a privilege, not a right, and if you’re starving, homeless, or disabled, well you should’ve made better life choices.
They’re also obsessed with undoing the bit of progress we’ve made. Repealing the ACA (Obamacare) has been on their bingo card for years, but any specific regression other than the individual mandate turns out to be incredibly unpopular. “Want to remove the provision that allows kids to stay on their parents’ insurance until they’re 25? Well no, but what about allowing lifetime benefit limits again? Still no? Well at least allow insurance companies to charge more or refuse to cover you for pre-existing conditions!” And yet “repeal and replace” has haunted their platform since the ACA went into effect. Nevermind the fact that we still pay more per capita for Healthcare than any other western country and still have long wait times for appointments.
So yeah, that’s the kind of thing we’re up against, and gerrymandering ensures that nothing ever changes.
I (Canadian) truly don’t understand why Americans aren’t occupying every government office in protest every week.

Because about 40% of our population are moronic Trump supporters who support that shit
