A Comparison of Two Very Different Protests
"In mid-January America witnessed two rallies that offer a stark contrast in activism.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, over 22,000 men and women gathered in Richmond, Virginia, to protest the gun laws lawmakers are seeking to enact.

The media and the governor came away looking like buffoons. 
...Now let’s turn to the Women’s March, which took place in D.C. on January 18..."

Michigan attorney general using secretive ‘hate crime unit’ to harass pro-marriage group | News | LifeSite:

• Damning evidence exists of Attorney General Dana Nessel's hostility toward traditional marriage.

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, January 17, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Watching, listening, tracking, and compiling secret dossiers on dissidents until they are finally accused and prosecuted — these are the police-state tactics one might associate with an authoritarian regime in a World War II movie.

“John Innes Clark Hare, paraphrasing Alexis de Tocqueville, wrote in 1889: ‘A decline of public morals in the United States would probably be marked by the abuse of the power of impeachment as a means of crushing political adversaries or ejecting them from office.’ What House Democrats are doing is not only unfair to Mr. Trump and a threat to all his successors. It is an attempt to overrule the constitutional process for selecting the president and thus subvert American democracy itself. For the sake of the Constitution, it must be decisively rejected. If Mr. Trump’s policies are unpopular or offensive, the remedy is up to the people, not Congress.”

“I think that it will be easy to recognize when the American Republics begin to degenerate: it will suffice to see whether the number of political judgments increases,”

-Alexis de Tocqueville-
