So everyone in America is a 41 hour drive from DC?

Everyone in America has local politicians that are on the "right side of history"?

Like maybe you can argue you personally have an excuse for not doing anything, but the entire country? Millions of people live near enough to DC to shut the city down with a mass protest. In my country people traveled for like 6 hours to protest on a days notice.

Won't happen in the US because, like I said in the other post, people have no savings, are living paycheck to paycheck, and can't take time off work for such things.
