> Why are Americans so passive? You're literally transitioning into straight up authoritarianism, yet where are the riots?

In the same place. You just aren't seeing footage of them on HN.

> Is there more stuff actually happening on the ground

There is, and there is lots of video of it. You only need search elsewhere.

I have seen such footage. It's all over the place. I've cited examples of what I've seen in other comments. You can infer keyword search terms from the descriptions and should be able to find them readily with any search engine.

> Are you not witnessing your government carrying out extra-judicial murders and then being protected by that same government?

They are not "extra-judicial murders". The only people who have died so far have been those whose actions presented a serious threat to the life or safety of federal officers.

Anyone who disagrees with my claim is welcome to provide contradictory evidence.
