Ali Velshi on Democracy and Public Protests

Ali Velshi is a reporter/host for MSNBC. Granted, I bash MSNBC quite often because they are the establishment Democratic equivalent of the Republican party franchise called Fox News.

But Velshi recently offered an editorial piece about the importance of public demonstrations in a liberal democracy, something that the Right and Donald Trump never seem to understand.

In the past I have argued that the Department of Homeland Security should never have been created. Its mere existence pushes this country closer to fascism.

The fact that president Trump’s decision to send unrequested federal “forces” to cities such as Portland, Seattle, Philadelphia, and Chicago is unconstitutional should be enough reason for all Americans to object to Trump’s illegal extension of executive power.

But no. Conservatives overwhelmingly approve.

We are all in trouble, folks. Please take a few moments to hear Velshi out. He is wise in this clip.
