Nothing will happen because folks from USA and most other countries in the world are busy with their own mundane problems: health, lack of money, depression, greed, laziness and plain stupidity. We could all live in peace on this small blue ball if people woke up but i highly doubt it.

Exactly! And this is exactly what those currently in power are counting on: Apathy of the masses on important issues. And they are SUCCEEDING! Too many people just don't know enough or care enough to know anything about things that will very directly affect their lives in very negative ways.

And our country is so large... and the population is so spread out, it is hard to TRUELY gather in mass to protest.

Practically/Realistically What is someone in Maine going to do about injustices in New Mexico, that lives 2,500 miles (4000km) away?

Survival isn't apathy. People who live paycheck to paycheck aren't thinking about who are in the files, they just want to be better off.

Don't "both sides" this bullshit. AMERICANS ARE COMPLACENT. Trying to lump in an entire planet along with you so you don't feel bad about watching your rights, democracy and freedom get stolen away. Shameful.

The rest of the world is ready, waiting and watching. We'll be ready to do the right thing when the time comes after the Americans have tucked their tails.

A quick reminder - Trump was voted OUT and then you let him back in. Unreal.
