Whenever I watch Rachel Maddow, she hypes Democrat-led protests and frets about illegal aliens being deported. She brands Trump a dictator hellbent on overthrowing the U.S. government and urges more street action. Yet, she dismisses and ignores the violence, riots, and destruction these protests cause.
Partial Transcript-
Rachel Maddow: This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the United States Constitution and the US government, the attempted imposition of a dictatorial regime. That is clear, that is unambiguous. I think it is unquestioned. I think there are very few people on any side of American politics who would contend with that. The question is whether it will work and the way we will find out whether or not it’s gonna work is not gonna be something that happens in the White House. It’s gonna be something that happens in the streets and in the courts and in the States, and in Congress and in every other place that people are trying to say no. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country and what we are seeing over and over again, in what I believe is the most important story in the country, what we are seeing over and over again is that protesting against him works. That he wants to seem strong, but he is not that strong. Organizing against him works, fighting him in court works, pushing back works, protesting in the streets works.
