Standing Up: How People Are Fighting Back
Right now, things feel pretty tough. But guess what? People are pushing back hard.
A Wave of Protests
Just last month, over 7 million individuals took to the streets to say no to a leader's strong-arm tactics. That's a lot of people—more than 2% of all adults in the country.
History shows that when about *3.5% of a population* keeps up the fight, even the toughest regimes can fall. So, we're getting close.
Institutions Refusing to Bend
The pushback doesn't stop there:
- Most universities turned down a deal that would have traded favors for support.
- Major airports ignored a request to play a certain video.
- News outlets refused to sign a loyalty pledge.
- Even some long-time supporters are starting to worry.
The leader's recent actions—like destroying part of a famous building and posting a strange video—have people talking.
A System in Need of Change
Before all this, things weren't great:
- Money and power were in control.
- Inequality was growing.
- The system seemed rigged against most people.
But now, many are working for real change. Whether it's protests, calls, emails, or helping neighbors, people are making a difference.
A Leader's Approval Plummets
The leader's approval ratings are dropping. They're at a low point not seen in a long time.
Sure, times are tough. But as long as people keep fighting for what's right, things can get better. It won't be easy, but progress is possible.
