How is this allowed?
Until Americans understand that this isn't going to end without violence (or a very real threat of violence, meaning people actually show up prepared to fight), they will continue to be increasingly oppressed. You may disagree with violence, but the oppressors see that as convenient.
I guess we're all just helpless bystanders, vote and pray. No organzing resistance anymore like in the 1700s, 1800s or 1900s.
I don't "mean" anything, since I asked a question. If you're trying to communicate that our options are things like "mass protests", why communicate it in such a condescending manner?
I interpreted as #2. You, however, might disagree that these are actually options for any number of reasons. Perhaps you do? There are other stronger ones, of course. As an intelligent human, living within some national political framework, I'm sure you can think of others. Since your question hinted you thought there were none at all, "do you mean like" is testing whether these fit your definition.
