    I understand the frustration. I try to remind myself that the average person has very little control over the circumstances. Right now they’re trying to avoid a civil war.

    You should take a look at all the protest videos out there. There’s massive amounts of people protesting the government.

    I agree it’s taken them way too long to even get to mass protest, but I try to remind myself that the system is set up to make it extremely difficult to get to this point.

    People are living paycheck to paycheck, so disruptions in pay can be life-changing. What this also shows is that people overall are generally willing to be peaceful (arguably even when they maybe shouldn’t be. Maybe to a fault).

    Ultimately, they need better process to eliminate and remove internal threats as the Second Amendment really isn’t doing it.
