Silly question - but exactly what is the purpose of protesting in DC? Nearly ALL of the economy-destroying shutdowns are from the state level (and some at the local/county level). How is protesting in DC going to fix that?

I thought the same. It seems they aren’t protesting to open the nation, they want the same money the airlines and railroads are getting.

Not really our kind of protest.

I don't claim to speak for the protesters - sounds like they want a bail out; Trump needs to spin it to open up the economy

They want $trillions in bailout funding.

It’s not about the shut down. It’s about dipping their nose in the largess.
