Possibly people aren't protesting because any protest against the government can be considered, under the Patriot Act, to be a terrorist action.
And your rights, if you are arrested, are not guaranteed.
And there's nothing you can do. The media--which is basically owned by large corporations and the families that run those corporations--refuses to report the violations of civil rights and the right to protest. The media is not interested in reporting such stories, so people don't learn what's happening.
Yeah, I'm more than slightly disgusted.
I feel like America has been taken over by a body snatcher. (It's the best explanation I can think of for the pod in the Oval Office.)
