There are already riots and protests here and it’s been happening for years, not sure where you are getting your information from if you think otherwise.
Now, I think these will intensify if anything illegal happens with the midterms, more people will definitely lose their shit at that point, but protests have been pretty steady in every state. In fact, they have been record setting protests, so to imply people aren’t already protesting in the US definitely not true at all.
I suspect maybe the corporate owned news is part of the reason so many people think it’s not really happening, but it is and if you make a point to look for examples, plenty are available.
I get my news from many sources, I know about the No Kings protests. They pale in comparison to what’s happening somewhere like Paris. If a protest is inconsequential, then it means very little, people go about their day.

Protests and disruption in Minnesota did a lot at the beginning of this year. There were many violent clashes coming out of those protests. Two protestors were killed, dozens were permanently injured or disabled, hundreds more were hospitalized, and thousands were arrested. And the result of those protests were the firing of the senior official in charge of the Department of Homeland Security, several other immigration officials, and a major pullback of operations, an end to that style of aggressive immigration enforcement operations.
Meanwhile, other action included legal work that got literally thousands of arrestees released and the resignation of many of the prosecutors brought on to try to investigate and prosecute fraud in the Somali American community, a racially targeted and legally unsupported use of law enforcement resources.
The whole operation was also a disaster for the popularity of the ruling party, and we’ll see in the next 16 hours or so just how badly this costs them in the actual power structures of our governments.
I don’t have a botnet. I’m guessing it’s more because you’re just full of shit and people are downvoting you (you know, because you’re full of shit). It’s Lemmy though, so votes are visible. If you’re that paranoid, go check for yourself!

Many corporate news sources by the sound of it. Believe what you like I guess.
Judge me all you want and downvote with your bot net, it’s meaningless.
