Pushing from within alone does nothing. Finding a way to band together (in spite of our toxic individualism) and push back does everything. It's literally the only thing that will work. It's what we should have been doing all along. It's what a country does to right itself. And the fact that we can't seem to or up until this point, haven't felt the need to do it is why other countries are pissed.
To add insult to injury, they've had loads of 2nd amendment dudebros coming into comment threads every time they have a very rare mass shooting, or police violence, telling them they never should have given up their guns lest they become servile to a rogue government.
