If Trump was President now [View all]
For those who are demonstrating on college compasses, as you are aware, no matter how peaceful it starts out, organizers can never control what everyone does or says. One or more of these events will get out of hand (i.e. takeover of Hamilton Hall at Columbia). I have some knowledge of this as a college protester in 1970 to1974 against the War in Viet Nam. I don't want to debate the merits of the reasons for the protests. I just want to point out what our future will be under a second Trump term.
There is no question in my mind that the Trump administration will crack down like any would be dictator would and invoke the insurrection act. It will be the beginning of the end of our Democracy.
If it's not this issue, it will be another. A police shooting, a foreign conflict, a domestic dispute. It will happen and I can see the future as clearly as I can see yesterday.
God help us.
