Should We Be Optimistic?

According to Scott McKay at the American Spectator, the answer is yes, as he provides seven different thoughts about what's going on in our country and society:
2. Tom Cotton’s sentiments are spot on, but his methods are off. 
I’m a fan of Tom Cotton, but when he tweeted over the weekend that the rioters ought to come face to face with the 101st Airborne, or the 10th Mountain Division, I’ve got to admit I wasn’t crazy about it.

The police can handle these rioters if they’re allowed to. If the police can’t, in some circumstances, the National Guard certainly can. This isn’t some invading army; it’s the dregs of society who have been induced into the streets for free air fryers from Target. The slightest application of law enforcement muscle will put this rioting down. 
Absolutely right. I can't get behind deploying the military unless it is a totally last resort. As suspicious as I am about police and its use of force, these kind of events are the ones for which it was made. Another one: 
6. The suburbs aren’t burning despite all the calls to burn them. It isn’t hard to understand why. 

Brandon Morse has a great piece at RedState warning the Antifa clowns that if they actually follow through on their threats to invade the suburbs, they won’t like the result.

Because the pasty honkies in the black sweatshirts live in the suburbs. Where do you think mom’s basement is, Watts? They’re not going to burn down their own neighborhoods; that’s for the proles to do, not the Marxist vanguard.
In other words, you don't defecate where you eat. Do read the whole thing, as they say.
