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.
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.
