As Gossip Cop reported, LaBeouf started his “He Will Not Divide Us” live stream on Inauguration Day last month. The project consisted of a camera attached to the outside of the museum’s city-owned New York building, where anyone could come and be filmed 24/7 saying “he will not divide us.” LaBeouf planned for the protest to last throughout Trump’s four years as president.
But after multiple skirmishes, including one that led to LaBeouf getting arrested, the museum has decided to stop the outdoor exhibit.
Instead of vowing to work with the new President to solve issues facing this country many have chosen to protest about Trump dividing the country. For the last four years we heard a lot about how uncooperative the Republicans were in Congress but we didn't see wide spread protests against Obama. In fact, I've never known the citizenry to protest the elected President before. Yes, there have been protests like the numerous ones against the Vietnam War and then many in favor of Civil Rights. Protests have been used to gain attention for many causes in USA history like for women's suffrage or against the draft (not Vietnam as the draft was eliminated but in New York in WWII.
But in all our history has there been protests against a President for the mere fact that he was elected. Women staged a protest in favor of right they already have (I have yet to understand that one). In any case, if you are the one out protesting then you are the one being divisive.
Just let that one sink in for awhile.
