Kareem Abdul Jabbar, my generation's G.O.A.T. basketball star, breaks it down:
If headlines from the past week are any indication, the next four years will probably see more protest gatherings than in the sixties: “Protesters in cities across the US rally against Trump’s policies, Project 2025 and Elon Musk,” “Thousands across the U.S. protest Trump policies.” “Protesters denounce Trump immigration policies outside his Florida golf club.”
We All Want to Save the World
If history is any guide, the demonstrations will begin at the grassroots level, among students and the disenfranchised. Mainstream America will be resistant at first, dismissing protestors as malcontents. But as our rights continue to diminish, and as the economic, social, and political impact of Trump’s implementing the Christian nationalist agenda of Project 2025 hits mainstream Americans, they will join the protests in vast numbers.
Or they won’t do anything at all.
We’ll see.
He's written a history of his times and ours. This will be out May 13, as well as a graphic novel about his life to come out this the fall. I'll be interested to see them.
