Organizer of No Kings: "We're not marching to change Donald Trump's mind"

[senseandsensibility]

Leah Greenberg said that that's not the theory of the case. He is a senile, narcissistic, borderline toddler. She said they are marching to send a message that this reign of trump is temporary. There will be a period when we will win elections and accountability is coming.

I liked her answer to the inevitable question from journalists about what good does it do to have big numbers? What will it change? Isn't trump just continuing with his unpopular policies anyway?

Many journalists seem to think that if trump doesn't immediately give in to the protests and change his behavior they were a waste of time. Their short attention spans and trump-centric worldview have never been more evident.

as is Ezra.

3. I think it was Ari's show on MSNOW

but he wasn't there. It was a guest host.

4. Kicked and recommended

Thanks for the thread senseandsensibility

5. Perfect take. "Minds" in different such conditions can't be changed.

6. Remember when they were standing in their three corner hats

waving their Gadsen flags. They were treated as serious and their rallies were important and worthy

7. If reporters think

and ask if the big numbers are to try and change Trump's mind then sorry, but that is the dumbest question...
This march is for "we the people" not Trump. It would be just like Trump to let his egotistical, narcissistic self think it was all about him.

The walk in Selma and the whole Civil Rights Movement wasn't for the KKK, but for "we the people".

We the People have the power and that's where our strength in numbers comes from...

8. I heard someone being interviewed at a protest say, when asked if they thought it would change the Trump

administration, “That’s not why I’m here. I do this so they don’t change me.”

9. Perfect answer!

I feel the same.

10. Remember the round the clock coverage...

Of the dozens protesting the Terry Schiavo case
Nobody ever asked them about their legitimacy
And when they were proven 100% wrong the media quietly moved on to something else
