Protests are spreading across the United States. The good news is that people are waking up to the serious crisis we face. The bad news is that people are likely to call for greater governmental power and control to deal with the crisis -- the chants and slogans displayed in the video make that abundantly clear. Couple that with the federal government's unapologetic assassination of an American citizen, and you can see the writing on the wall.
More than two thousand years ago Plato observed that democracy always produces tyranny, and America's founders (who, unlike today's politicians, knew something of history) labored mightily to prevent democracy from taking root here. But it did, and most Americans now feel entitled to plunder each other at the ballot box. There is no way to save America as a geographic whole, for the barbarians are already within the gates. America as a "shining city on a hill" can survive only if a geographic portion and its people devote themselves to keeping it that way, and keeping out the hordes of liberty-destroyers who are Americans in name only.
