Yes, principled protesters choose to break the law, like Thoreau defying war taxes, or Gandhi against the British Empire. It’s much smarter and harder to master the rules, apply imagination and skills to succeed (without fears of midnight door banging). So now we endure a second-rate TV celebrity, his “true self” exposed as a multiply-convicted, forever-lying sleazy hustler reborn as a “unity” president?
