“What would happen if one million people calmly walked into Washington DC, sat down in the streets, and simply didn’t leave?”
That would work, of course. But good luck on getting one million Americans to go to Washington who simply wouldn’t want to leave.
Americans fear losing what they have - status-quo, finances, property, etc.
Additionally, the freeloaders aren’t going to want to lose their free handouts so that they certainly aren’t going to go to Washington to complain.
Who’s left to do that?
“Do America’s leaders still want to perceive themselves as moral and just?”
Apparently not, the way they have dealt with “protestors” in the past.
They’ve nailed people who were otherwise innocent of any unlawful acts to “nip” things in the bud, so to speak.
Precisely.
