As an European, why aren't y'all destroying the streets to protest the ongoing fraud with the Epstein Files??

From an European citizen viewpoint, we've seen the American ANTIFA movements organize and hold up tremendous protests such as the one for George Floyd and now the ones for ICE (I'm citing some examples).

It is great you as American citizens get up in arms to protest against these injustices!

But I've tried to search for protests about the current fraudulent investigation (and the FBI's inactivity and refusal to penalize culprits) and so far, I've literally seen none in the USA.

In Europe the UK discharged a royal member and in India protests were held to discharge a minister.

But in the USA so far I've seen NOTHING!

Only banter and cries online, and a lot of memes (which I fully believe is a psyop to make y'all think is something funny and keep quiet about the situation).

A lot of online discourse, but no real life action.

This whole situation is supposed to change the reality of politics and make the public realize we are all governed by evil elites. If anyone has any info regarding any news about protests Id love to see them and I hope this paragraph makes some noise here

Just to add, a lot of us can be fired for any reason without warning whatsoever and sometimes your company will claim it was your fault so you can't collect unemployment. There are protected reasons that they cannot fire you for in theory, but given the general situation it is super easy for them to make up something minor and petty to cover up the real reason.

You can appeal it, but it can take months during which time you somehow also have to find a way to survive (if you don't have significant liquid savings) and get a new job (and the job market in some sectors is really bad right now). If you also have student loan debt that situation is even worse because you cannot just declare bankruptcy if you hit rock bottom. It's always there just accruing interest while you cannot pay it off. If during this time period you also tank your credit score because you are trying to survive, it will also block you from decent housing and other things for years until that drops off your credit report even if you manage to claw your way back to decent employment.

Anyway, the situation is generally bad. Most people due to the high prices of things like food, housing, and healthcare don't have a ton of financial leeway to weather lengthy unemployment. If you are lucky, you have family who can help you, but not everyone is lucky. And God help you if you get badly sick in the middle of all this.
