Going Crazy Here

24. "Should have people in the streets"

Are you in the streets?

It's really not that easy for people to just pour out "in the streets".

Trump is an atrocious, dangerous, embarrassment to the US, but protests in the streets without the kind of coordination which gets all participants on the same page with the same set of talking points that focus on one or two things the public will understand is mostly a waste of time.

There will be demonstrations at the inauguration, but even those will be largely dismissed as sour grapes.

I agree with you about the danger, I think things are perhaps even worse than people imagine. By getting away with so much that would doom most politicians, Trump has just about created a "new normal" - one where nearly half the country will just dismiss even the most legitimate criticism of him. This country can no longer even agree on what basic facts are, and that will embolden and empower Trump in a way few other Presidents have been.
