(Honestly, we already covered this in the linked thread—I'm not really sure why the same question keeps popping up.) I’m looking forward to the day when the refugee crisis stops being headline news and becomes just another thing people ignore, but right now... trying to compare these two political issues feels pretty pointless.
I'm not quite following your logic here...
either you aren't getting what I'm saying, or I'm missing you.
Back when those veteran protests were actually hitting their stride—think phase two or three of the whole movement—they weren't exactly a trending topic, nor were they ever.
By the second phase, refugees became a trending topic, though if you ask me, they're only just starting to hit that level now.
Comparing them today doesn't make much sense, but look at the timing—compare when the protest was "in" versus when refugees became "in." Even then, the protest couldn't be a trending topic, yet the refugee situation was.
So, what's the actual criteria?
