Special K: What's your take on that article?
b1: I think it's interesting...
And broadly speaking, I'd describe it more "right" than "wrong..."
The thuggery of the police state is absolutely on the mark...
Bullying is the American way. It's the way we display on the world theater...
We just present that way as well to our citizens.
In my opinion, it's just the large writ small.
(It could, however, be the opposite.)
K: Similar. Also, I think some of the stronger support that's happening this time is a reaction of frustrated anti-Trump people who want to do something.
And, I'm not optimistic in the short term.
b1: Sure.
The political division is such in this country that things get filtered through a is-it-D-or-R lens and then the decision is made on any particular issue without thinking the issue itself through.
K: Yes.
