22. Trump wouldn't give a shit if all of America took to the streets

This is someone who doesn't care what anyone else thinks or believes. It's not beyond him to declare martial law, ban public demonstrations and pass out live ammunition.

Trump cannot be turned away from this insanity. But Mitch McConnell is a different story. He's the one who protests need to be targeted at. He's the one that must be held responsible. He's the one that needs to be put in fear of his job.

When Trump said the shutdown could go on for years, he meant it. He's certifiably nuts. But McConnell can be pushed if he thinks he'll lose his next election. And it's mostly up to the people of Kentucky to scare the shit out of him.
