    Whatever is happening in nepal won’t happen in USA. USA is a very big country relative to nepal. Mobilising students, people is easy in nepal. In USA it’s a different matter. Mostly nepal people are homogenous. USA on the other hand is very diverse. There are black people, white people, native americans. You have immigrants, mexicans, koreans, chinese etc. Many are legal, some are illegal. Everyone has different mindset. Because of this their opinion is also divided. There are many conservative people. There are also progressive mindset people. But the progressive mindset people don’t feel like protesting against what is happening in USA today. If what is happening in nepal also starts in USA then all hell will break lose. USA might disintegrate. Trump and the current administration will use the army, national guards, police and other forces to crush the protests. Common US Americans will lose more than gain from any protest against the current regime of USA. The best is passive resistance. Make people aware about the dangers of intolerance. Promote harmony amongst various groups. Best is to wait the current adminstration out. Elections in USA happen every four years. So groups who want change in USA can advocate, educate people and encourage them to vote wisely. The biggest problem in USA is that remnants of the civil war like the white supremacists are still active. People still wave the confederate flags. Confederate monuments and memorials still exist and have not been removed. Racist organisations like KKK etc still exist underground. Not much attention is given to homegrown terrorists compared to international terrorists. USA has enemies within but pays more attention to foreign conflicts or terrorist activities. Whatever is happening today, I feel it’s seed was laid during democrat rules time during obama administration, biden administration. Because they were not strict on racists because of which the racists became emboldened. Most importantly the education system of USA needs complete overhauling. People cannot think critically, they cannot differentiate between right and wrong. They cannot differentiate between what is ethically, morally right and which is not. AI bots can change the mindset of USA Americans and make them think that their neighbour of so many years can be their enemy.
