I see so many people posting online that they are outraged at what Trump is doing. But I have not heard of any protests in the US? I guess the Tariffs haven't actually hit, and Trump is the evil one. But I guess I find it a bit weird that the other side of the country is just going to idly stand by and accept a dictator destroying their nation.

Donald Trump has that country in such a mess in one week it's hard to keep up. Some people are focused on keeping their family members in the country, there are huge ICE protests in California. Elon Musk is in the midst of a non-elected coup, the country is in such a tizzy over multiple events that the tariff thing might not even be on the radar. It's hard to believe that one of the most successful and long standing democracies is on the verge of collapsing into a totalitarian regime. For the majority it's impossible to wrap their heads around that.
You see posters even in this thread that want to bury their head in the sand and go "live your life" as if what's happening won't directly impact theirs and everyone else life.
