As for the motivation I think it's more a cathartic experience where like-minded people meet up and vent. As well as an attempt to increase motivation and momentum for future, more practical, ways to oppose Trump's policies and presidency. They can't keep holding rallies. The Tea Party movement shows it can help. |

Trump has stuck to his word about returning the Winston Churchill bust back to the Oval Office that was removed by Barack Obama.

Re: US Election 2016
Of course it won't change anything Mick but l don't think we should decry it because as you know about a great many things in life whatever it is people have very strong views and of course that includes the great and good on this forum as one knows.:)

It's worrying when the leader of the richest, most powerful country in the world calls those who disagree with him "the enemies".

Re: US Election 2016
But the point of these protests is to suppress opposition to the views of the protesters. They are trying to bully people that don't agree with their views. As with everything PC and associated with the Left, speak out against them and you get shouted down as an -ist or promoting hate or a -phobia.

Re: US Election 2016
No it isn't. It's too make their own views as loud and as clear as possible. What is wrong and anti-democratic is some of the violence we saw yesterday. All of the people protesting peacefully today though is their own expression of opposition and speech.

Re: US Election 2016
Even if a march/protest represented 99% of the people, it would still be trying to oppress any dissenting viewpoints.
Try speaking out against them and see what happens. Eg Good luck trying to get a job in Hollywood or the media. |

And when Donald Trump called for a march on Washington after Obama won a 2nd term, was he trying to oppress dissenting viewpoints? Quote:

I find it really bemusing that, we had Madonna of all people, being allowed to comment at the protests today, for 'Respect for women' when she herself offered 'Blow jobs' to people who voted for Hillary, what a bloody hypocrite she is and those who gave her a platform to speak on, really are a bunch of hypocrites as well. So she was offering to commit a sexual act. So here we have these so called women parents protesting today, who say they are embarrassed about Trump's grabbing women comment and yet they give a platform to someone who tried to buy votes with offers of a sexual act......:rolleyes: http://metro.co.uk/2016/10/20/madonn...w-job-6203560/ |
