But at the end of the march, as I sat on the train going back home, I didn’t find myself feeling any better about our country or the situation that we are in. A protest ultimately does not accomplish anything. We gathered, we marched and we made noise, but Donald Trump is still our president.

I saw a youtube video of a confrontation at one of the DC protests.

A Leftist woman slugged a big guy who supported Trump.
The big guy didn’t miss a beat and punched her hard right in the face.

All the Leftists started yelling at the cops (who were right there) and demanded that the big guy be arrested for punching a woman. The cops did nothing (good for them!)

The Leftists were shocked that the police would NOT arrest a citizen, and started a big chant:

THIS IS WHAT A POLICE STATE LOOKS LIKE!
THIS IS WHAT A POLICE STATE LOOKS LIKE!

And I’m thinking: “ ... no. It’s kind of the opposite.”

An early example of democracy: “Give us Barabbas”.

College echo chamber.

They had their 8 wonderful years, at the expense of the hated hetero-white productives. But they “fight” on.

Saddens me that they exploit children to make political points.

And, that the kids needed to be exposed to all of that hatred and lunacy.

They are in a rage about locker room talk but staunchly defended a President who ultimately lost his license to practice law and was fined tens of thousands due to his raunchy behavior toward women.

"We gathered, we marched and we made noise, but Donald Trump is still our president."

There is a simple reason for this. Loud, crude vulgar women simply do not represent mainstream Americans. Hillary is loud, crude and vulgar. The marchers were loud, crude and vulgar. Their supporters are often loud, crude and vulgar. There is no glass ceiling for competent conservative women. There is a glass ceiling for loud, crude and vulgar women.....and men, for that matter.

It’s too bad teachers aren’t allowed to correct grammar mistakes anymore.

What was the “cause”? I read and reread the article and I saw no mention of a cause other than “Trump is a meanie.”

This seems like one big temper tantrum by a bunch of immature people who didn’t get their way. Their candidate lost. It’s doubly hard for them to swallow because for years it’s been ordained that 2016 would be nothing less than a coronation of Her Thighness. The DBM carried the water big time on that one.

It’s like your folks told you for a year that you were going to Disney World, then the night before the trip, they said no, you’re not. A kid would throw a temper tantrum in a circumstance like that, but it’s very unbecoming and unproductive for adults to do so.

Dear Tess Halpern . . .

Maybe that emptiness you are feeling has more to do with your message than President Trump as a person

A President speaking about protecting lives in America, creating economic opportunities, and developing our young people

and your message last Sunday was . . .

We demand the abortion rights our MOTHERS fought for

And y'all do not see the disconnect, do ya?

All these protests are the face of Democracy(mob rule) reminiscent of the French Revolution.

Trump's inauguration was what a Constitutional Republic looks like.

Democracy SUCKS!

I am sure they are telling the truth.
But guess what?
Our founders hated and despised democracy, aka mob rule.

Democracy:

A government of the masses. Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of “direct” expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic—negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether is be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. Results in demogogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.

Russian Revolution.

This Women’s March is in honor of the 100th anniversary of the 1917 Women’s March that was part of the Communist Revolution. Today’s protesters know so little about why they protest because the are Communist’s ‘useful idiots’.

That revolution also overthrew a government dedicated to freedom and reform, same as this attempt at revolution does.

I don’t think the ‘Women’s March’ was as “organic” as she thought ..... and the ‘powerful hate’ was not Donald Trump. Maybe she should educate herself, but that’s too hard for these ignorant womyn.

Labels mean little.

The battle has always been between "Rule by Mob" and "Rule by Monarch".

This was the cycle our Founding Fathers was trying to break and it worked - for a while - until our representatives became the monarchs.

It then became inevitable that the mob rise up against their oppressors.

Your analogy is more apt but we are now in the second phase of the populist uprising. Obama led the first, Trump the second.

We have yet to see if we can restore the nation to a state of balance.
