Absolutely. I believe, and I suppose it’s more a “hope” at this stage, that Monday night was a turning point for this country. It’s true that some on Fox are saying the demonstrators are trying to “overthrow the government”(Laura Ingraham), but I believe many Americans, and hopefully lots of independents, will be put off, to say the very least, seeing peacefully demonstrating American citizens treated like they occupied a “battle space”, when they were exercising their first amendment rights in a space where many before them have done so. Last Monday night will be in the history books, is how I envision it. Something no freedom loving American should ever forget, and our top military brass are letting the public know how they feel about that event, Mattis among them.
And, right along, I have pointed out the very thing Mattis pointed out: that this is a president who has made no effort whatsoever to reach out to those Americans who did not vote for him in 2016. Zero effort to unify our nation. 100% effort to divide our country. How much clearer can it be that this man child, who will be remembered as one of the most reviled figures in our history, must go. Really, he should resign at this point.
