Ah! Sorry. I thought you wanted to know why Americans would say something about America rather than a country they don't live in and may not know much about.

No. I was directly addressing the protests from this past weekend and explicitly said so.

That entire last paragraph is simply your take on it.

And I respect that.

I am only talking about one Sunday. Yesterday. The day after the POTUS call for "the SOBS' to be fired.

If people think the protests is supporting anything else they are not paying attention to current events but rather have made up their minds about ALL protests.
