I was in Chicago at the time and joined hundreds in a protest near Dictator Tower on President's Day. And now, eight years later . . .

"Not MY president" was among the most popular signs then. And now we can add "Not MY felon," "Not MY dictator" and on and on and on, and it will do just as much good as it did then.

The 2017 protests led eventually to Biden being elected.

The only one benefitting from your defeatism is Trump.

But not us. This gives us a week to work on making signs, imo.

A series of nation-wide protests is exactly the sort of thing Democrats need to be planning and implementing, at this very moment.

The sooner we make our dissatisfaction known, coast-to-coast, the sooner we start fixing things. Everybody show up!
