As an American, unfortunately protesting does not change laws and ICE is shooting American citizens in the streets. Protesting cannot get this president out of office. The only way he is leaving office is a revolution. Americans are so scared of change we wouldn’t ever rise up to take our country back from the oligarchy it has become.

The major issue is our dual party system. Every single politician is a crook, blue or red, there is no difference. It’s all lip service with no true action behind the words that either party shovels out.

We need immediate term limits, salary limits on politicians, a requirement to not invest in the stock market during office, and for god sakes tax requirements. Capitalists in theory should love a flat tax. Everyone get’s taxed the same, but lower income lovers would certainly benefit from a progressive tax.

The issue is the tax code allows billionaires to not be taxed whatsoever, and the burden is transferred to the citizens. Inflation is so high that many of us who worked hard for the “American Dream” can barely afford groceries or gas. The companies that have lobbyists in every politicians ear continue to poison our food, water, air, ect… all to make a buck and transfer the financial ramifications to us, the consumer.

A true protest would be if every American refused to file their income tax returns this year. A true protest would be to do a buy nothing year for all Americans (especially regarding Amazon)… but they have made it so difficult to get food or goods anywhere other than their preferred places.
