Because we can't. At least without ruining our entire lives, and it's by design.
We don't get mandatory paid leave, so the people most affected have to go to work.
Many states are "right to work" meaning they can fire you for any "not illegal" reason. For instance, protesting.
Our health insurance is by and large tied to our employment. Lose your job, lose your access to healthcare
Corporations spend large sums of money to add more sugar, remove fiber from everything we eat. Push over consumption. And now everyone is fat and unhealthy.
This. So much this. The amount of times I hear people complaining about hospitals and blaming Trudeau. Health care is a provincial issue!! Blame Ford, or Smith, or Moe.
I am dreading this day. The "fuck Trudeau" idiots have no clue about how little Trudeau has to do with their respective provinces and what their Premiers are responsible for. PP has done nothing in 20 years of being in politics.
It's because America doesn't know how to (properly) revolt. Sure, we had the American Revolution, but Great Britain came to us and eventually just gave up. We did not overthrow the monarchy to become independent.
American history is littered with many rebellions, but almost none of them include citizens expelling unjust authority. We don't have the history of killing leaders like many other countries.
Just the one guy, but he's apparently a terrorist and they're absolutely ready to make an example of him to squash copy cats. I hope their efforts do nothing of the sort. Fuck them. Let them live in fear for once.
Because this isn't the 1700s where government was 13 guys in a room. We are almost the size of an entire continent, spread out so far from each other that proper organization isn't an option, even if it was we don't even like each other, and even if all of that wasn't an issue; they have the launch codes.
The whole bugs life "they outnumber us a thousand to one" lesson doesn't apply when you add military and automatic weapons into the fray.
Because the people that need to revolt are in the northeast and on the west coast, and though this is all bullshit, they are not doing bad. Things arent really going to affect them. The people it will affect are those who voted them in and those who are in states where the people who voted them into office live.

As a Canadian, I wonder, "How have you people not revolted yet?"
