And since I've been to several of these - from the BIG L.A. Women's March in January (estimated attendance 750-thousand, making it likely the biggest such march in the world!) to these smaller, local, issue-pinpointed events. ALL good. I have yet to face a bad experience.

But, again, what will REALLY make an impression is when you go to one of these things, and find yourself surprised at how big the attendance is. It's a humdinger of a reinforcement and validation. It sure-as-hell will prove to you that you are NOT alone in how you feel about this illegitimate jackass squatter in OUR White House. Chances are there won't be just a handful of people there with you. Unless, of course, you're pro-trump. I STILL get a tremendous amount of satisfaction out of a description of the coverage in (I think) the NYTimes of a recent spate of rallies of trump supporters: "Hundreds rallied across the country". ROFL!!!!!
