Sadly, like during GWBV$H era marching about will amount to nothing. Unless, Trumpf and his lynch mob decides it annoys him/them and attacks. Then things will get ugly fast. I suspect eventually he will do the latter is the RED zone where violence against protestors will be tolerated and backed by the police. In the BIG cities, it will be a toss up how the demos. will be handled.
Yah, a toss up. I think it's pretty much city by city, and there's progress. A demonstrator's lot in NYC has been pretty harsh in recent past, kept in pens by militarized police while helicopters hover, jamming chants.
What's different now is the clash with demonstrators on the right. Also different is Trump's hostility toward demonstrators, seems to have no idea that gathering and vocalizing is not a crime.
I still believe that thousands in the streets is effective, maybe the most effective way for a citizen to effect change.
I just read that Trump plans on vacationing over the weekend so he will be tuned out.
