Sorry to break it to you but the blame lies with the American people. In Europe, when something like this happens, everyone's on the streets and there are strikes everywhere. And the protests almost always turn violent. And we're talking about large demonstrations of millions, not a few hundred/thousands as in the US. In the US, the demonstrations kinda feel like a spectacle, a show that you join for a couple of hours. In Europe it means business. I'm also American, but I'm currently in Greece. I've seen the differences with my own eyes. The public needs to show force, or it has no teeth. I'm not advocating for violence, I'm advocating for teeth.
Look at my other comment. Greece is a country of less than 10million and 4 million hit the streets in feb. For No Kings protest in the US, only 5 million hit the streets. Out of 300 million ppl. That's the comparison I'm making.
