    You realise that Donald kiddie fiddler Trump isn’t the president of Scotland right? He’s objectively your fucking problem. You ought to be grateful for any foreign countries who want to help out. I never said there were proportionally more people protesting in Scotland.

    If you look back at the comments, I’ve only ever argued with your position that any country that doesn’t field 5M protesters isn’t outperforming the states. Which, by the way, is still some grade A stupidity. I’ve no fucking idea how many people showed up, but as previously mentioned trump is definitely more of a problem for the USA than anyone else so I genuinely wouldn’t expect that many to show up.

    However if the first minister of Scotland did even half the shit trump’s done, Edinburgh would fucking burn with the riots.

        Stop fucking doing that, moderator! Silencing opinions is literally what fascists do, how the fuck do you expect to change shit when you refuse people to even speak their minds?

        The guy’s obviously a doofus, by silencing them you are effectively protecting them from making assholes of themselves, while turning this shithole into another echo chamber.

        You might as well be /r/conservatism, or /r/pyongyang, that’s what they do to dissenting opinion!

        Of course numbers per capita make more sense. That’s been my point the whole time. I’m not trying to gaslight anyone. And you know sometimes the USA needs to be reminded that they aren’t “all that”, because apparently American exceptionalism extends to arguing about protest turn out with random people online.
