It was the same when Bush was on the brink of starting the Iraq war. That's an admirable feat. The whole world showed solidarity with the USA after 9/11 and Bush managed to turn that into the opposite with millions protesting.
Would you believe that I actually feel nostalgic over Shrub right now? He wasn't a wild card and you knew what his cronies were after.

Bush Jr was one inept dumbass, but I never feared him starting a rise to fascism nor ever feared him starting a nuclear war. Yea, I'd give Jr a third term before I'll sit here and take 4 years of Celebrity Despot.

This is necessary. We cannot let him normalize his ideas or behaviors. Every time he, or one of his surrogets, steps onthe people, we need to peacefully take to the streets.
Also, did you know thousands of colleges and high schools nationwide allowed walk-outs without consequences yesterday? His choice of DeVos is really frightening those who work in public education. As usual, big news hardly said a word about it, though it was thousands of kids and teachers involved all across the country.
No shit, and and far too many in America don't see the lessons of history and stupidly think that politics is an episode of WWE or Jerry Springer. Well it is not, and if you don't stand up to political demagoguery, it will lead to very dark places.

What were they really fighting against? Women in the west have more rights than anyone! Sounds like first world problems to me. Funny thing is that some of these marches were planned before the election with the expectation that Clinton would be the first woman prez, but quickly devolved into a shit show third wave feminists, and black lives matters telling conservative women they were not welcome lol. Marching about the right to kill your unborn children seems to be a loserpalooza. The only unity was against Trump and women going around wearing pussy hats.

Sure, instead of listening to what they're actually saying, we could just say "you don't have it so bad" and ignore them. That's much easier.

I did listen for a while, but there was no coherent message. I listened to Madonna saying she wanted to bomb the white house. I listened to the drones repeating love trumps hate, or other stupid slogans they just repeat over and over again like a broken record. Mostly the progressive communists are the ones leading those chants because they have no message that resonates with anyone who isn't bat shit crazy, so they just shout. They talk about love, but constantly talk about how much they hate. They love only those who they feel sorry for, but hate anyone who they disagree with. They refer to themselves as nasty women hear me roar lol.
Here's the voice of reason from a conservative woman. By the way, they really didn't want conservative women at their little march:

I think it's great that people are uniting to oppose Donald Trump. But where were all these people when Barrack Obama and Hilary Clinton were taking money from the Fascist GCC country butchers? I didn't see protests as big as these around the world when Obama was fraternizing with the woman beaters and head choppers in Saudi and Qatar.
Propping up Saudi and Qatar makes tens of millions of women around the world, especially in the Third World, suffer. Be it in the two countries themselves or at the hands of the terrorists financed and armed by the two countries. And then we have the genocide going on the Yemen right now. But people aren't protesting that either.

So selective hearing, then. If you only hear what you want to hear, the protests are going to go on for a while longer. Strap yourself in.

Ah so you don't know either. I don't think anyone really does lol. It's kind of like the countless genders people just make up, and want to believe whatever they want. I identify as a dinosaur, and we will march until they hear us roar! Well at least it's good for a laugh. Look forward to more useless virtue signaling marches.
