The US government is designed to be unmovable by public opinion. There is not one part of the federal government that is democratically representative, everything is mediated by the elites.
Vietnam protests were huge, it was the longest war in America history, until Afghanistan.
The largest protests in world history took place over the Iraq War, it didn’t give them a moments pause.
Look past the myth of America.
