There's "personal risk" and then there's losing your livelihood.
And there's getting shot by regime snipers. I'm not trying to make an "others had it worse" argument, but let's not have any illusions about the scale of action and the amount of risk necessary for America to get out of this. The more you wait the more likely it becomes for this happen in the next protest where you live. Also, as I said, they can't fire everyone. Maidan and Arab Spring protesters returned to their jobs just fine after their revolutions.
If we’re not ready to put our jobs at risk to protest for what we believe in, do we really believe in it.
Our founding fathers were risking their actual lives. GTFO with the “livelihood” bullshit.
That's up to you. I just don't like to see it downplayed.
