What do the anti-Trump protestors hope to accomplish?

  • I cannot speak for them.. but I imagine they want just to express their disgust, their utter disbelief in the man who did not win the popular vote, and who has behaved so deplorably is really the prez.  I think maybe they want to demonstrate that they don't agree with the heinous things he has said.. maybe they want to demonstrate how divided he has made the country... 

    I guess those kinds of things

    And to be fair... since the right to demonstrate is one of the cornerstones of democracy, I am sure none of us would want to see that right removed.So what I am saying is.. they are demonstrating because they have that right, feel strongly AND realistically have little other option open to them.

    I have no idea, but the POTUS can just ignore all of that which he is doing. Something major has to be done for him to even take this seriously.

    I'm sure he'll be tweeting about all of these people as soon as he's able to get his twitter going.

    I'm surprised he hasn't joined certain chatsites to do his bitching.  He really does sound juvenile with what he is complaining about, given the seriousness of his position.

    To grab his attention.  To make him sit up and recognize that there is a large constituency that feels he doesn't represents them or their interests.

    To let Mr. Trump know that he is not loved by the majority and to push back on what he wants to do to healthcare and many other issues that affect women and their families.
