It's an asinine thought, for sure, but the mob protestors/rioters (they've become one and the same now) are not going to let up on this because they think people are actually listening to their nonsense.  Pretty soon, they're gonna learn a hard lesson.  And it truly needs to be a hard lesson because it's all those spoiled brats will understand.

Granted, we may not like everything they do, but they do a lot of things we don't ever see, as well, to keep us safe and protected in our homes.  We really need these guys.
