>As you point out, millions have protested, but tens of millions haven’t.

On both an absolute and per-capita level, those millions are actually record highs. These are historically large demonstrations. I'd have to check where I read this, but IIRC about 3% of a country's total population is typically the amount you need demonstrating in order to overthrow a government.

We're possibly looking at a revolution in progress, and all you guys can say is, "Why aren't there more of them?"?
