Excellent points. But why are we not seeing massive protests? And why are the college students so quiet on these issues? I have heard many theories, but not satisfied with any so far.
It's interesting you flag this. There have been massive protests and we aren't seeing them, highlighting Brian's note about press intimidation. One of my friends has been to at least 3 large protests in DC since inauguration and hasn't seen mention of them anywhere. Permits to protest in front of the Capitol are also being denied, unclear if the security risks cited are the real reason though.
I found this incredibly powerful. I'd love to see this in a newspaper's opinion section, but I'm not sure any of them would publish it for fear of retaliation.

Soooooo well said, Brian.
