(unless of course they are American citizens living there).

They can see us all they want but it doesn't matter - the American voter is the only one it matters to and American voters are the only ones who can do something about it.

Problem is, a lot of Americans don't see the protest BRoll the same way - the right's media machine portrays the protestors as lawless animals, and that narrative is believed.
