You may be underestimating the amount of time the typical American spends saying “Down with Donald Trump”.

As an Indian, it's one thing to curse a political leader in the comfort of your home. Totally a different thing to take to political activism on the streets.

In any country, barring dire situations, most people just want to wake up every morning and go do their jobs to put food on the table.

In India, most tech people don't even vote, let alone indulge in active political causes. Most of those people will do fine anywhere.

I have seen how multiple countries handle their protests movement these last few years. Its the same everywhere people gather then the cops smash it.
