Portrait of a nation at war: ‘I am just too exhausted to care’

The current war has supplied no glue to hold the country together, and most Americans are just watching and worrying.

A protester is knocked to the ground by an LAPD mounted police horse as officers evacuate the area following clashes near the Metropolitan Detention Center during the "No Kings" national day of protest in Los Angeles on March 28, 2026. Nationwide protests against US President Donald Trump are expected Saturday as millions of people vent fury over what they see as his authoritarian bent and other forms of cruel, law-trampling governance. It is the third time in less than a year that Americans will take to the streets as part of a grassroots movement called "No Kings," the most vocal and visual conduit for opposition to Trump since he began his second term in January 2025.
