Positives of Trump protest [View all]

Since there seem to be some hand wringers here only considering possible negatives...

1. There is no sign of the protestors starting any violence. It was a protest. Sometimes protests need to get "in their face" a little. If you are easily ignored, you will be. A protest outside the facility in Chicago probably would have been ignored.

2. A fascist like Trump needs to be confronted, and before he possibly becomes President.

3. Publicity. Bernie needs it, he got it. Not everyone is going to see this as a negative, our guys stood up with BLM and others Trump has insulted against the bully. People will notice, black people, hispanic, muslims, etc. This can get more people on our side and motivate them to vote.

That said, I think this worked as a one time event, I would not adivise doing it repeatedly.
