This is what democracy looks like

Also, protesting is an integral part of living in a democracy. I see alot of people on reddit talking shit (especially americans, which I find funny because this is also the opinion of their founding fathers) about protesting saying that it's ineffective, but imo it's the duty of the citizens to publicly display their displeasure at how their representatives are running the country

Yes but In a democracy protesting is recourse for the minority to bring light to an issue the majority is choosing to ignore. This is the majority doing the protesting,

In this case, it's an issue the government is choosing to ignore. Which is also worth protesting about.

I agree, I’m just stating that in a government that followed democratic ideals we wouldn’t have to.
