Taking A Day Off For Protest

DOWN AROUND El Paso, near where refugees cross into the U.S., and near where hundreds of children who have been separated from their parents are locked up, several hundred good American citizens showed up and staged a protest against the inhumane policy of separating refugee parents from their children. Good for them. Rarely if ever in human history has a protest been held for an unjust cause. Most of the time,where you have people protesting, you have injustice being addressed. You get the feeling that the American people are on the verge of pitching a conniption over the brutality of breaking families apart for entering the country illegally. Unless Congress acts, or the president acknowledges his responsibility for and ability to change the situation, we the American people may turn out in large, angry numbers. Mainstream republicans, the kind who filled the G.O.P. before the Trump people took over, don't like the heinous policy any more than liberals. They know it could get them run out of office, fast. Trump supporters and right wing thugs, suddenly cognizant of justice and the law, are ranting about illegal immigrants deserving whatever they get. For the most part, this is falling on deaf ears, because the American people see through it. We are a society on the verge of mass protests, as revealed the day after Trump was elected, and again the day after he was inaugurated, when the streets filled with unhappy people, concerned about America's direction. the subsequent year and a half shows that their concerns were more than justified. The best outcome might be a coalescing of all forms of protest, black lives matter, LGBTQ, anti-Trump, Occupy Wall Street, to come out together in a mass display of dissatisfaction with the establishment. We'd all have to take a day or two off work, but it would be worth it. Thomas Jefferson said: "I like a Little Rebellion Now and Then".
