Unfortunately other countries seem angrier than US citizens are angry.
I mean Germany had 700,000 protestors out the other day.
We are a much bigger country and maybe a fraction of that.
Plus it's seems politicians seem content to talk a lot but do absolutely nothing.

Most members of Congress are acting as if nothing is happening at all.
