Non Americans don't understand and assume we have the same liberties as them.
"Just do die in the street and achieve nothing" Isn't the compelling moral argument many Canadians seem to think it is.
Either go protest and get shot or you clearly asked for your rights to be stripped away feels like a slap in the face for anyone who is directly affected by the things that is happening and is extremely demotivating. It feels like someone saying that somehow it was your individual fault that states that you are not in did not vote the way you would have liked them too.
