Eugene Robinson: Split Screen Showing Military Parade and Demonstrations ‘Was Fascinating’

EXCERPT:

ROBINSON: "No, it’s not our thing. And it is good that it’s not our thing. The military parade was a history lesson, starting with the continental army, the revolutionary war. It was — it was American in that sort of 'freedom in our bones' way. And I actually thought it was, you know, it was not a very exciting parade, but that was indeed a good thing. You know, the split screen is, what I thought was so fascinating because you had, on the one hand, the military parade that wasn’t — there was no goose-stepping, none of that, and then you had 5 million people in demonstrations around the country against what President Trump is doing. What it brought to mind to me was a number that that Joe Scarborough mentioned earlier, 1.5%, that was the margin between the 77 million votes that Donald Trump got and the 75 million that Kamala Harris got, and it's not this overwhelming mandate for proto-fascism."
