It is now the People’s March


The erasure of women continues.


op here. I had the name of the event wrong. It was intended as the People’s March all along. The women’s March organizers were helping to promote.

We had no issues minus parking further away from building/using alternative garage. The commute home was a little wild from tourists. Normal weekend level, maybe a few extra long beards and no necks on the sidewalks looking lost.


Well, aren't you just charming. How utterly unsurprising.

Yeah. I expected you’d not be able to help yourself from replying. You refrained from the normal catch phrases though. So good on ya!

And per PPs it is relevant that more people including more women voted for Trump. Far fewer ppl are upset this time, even if in our communities we are horrified. Many people are fine with or in favor of T than in 2016.


Many sat it out and did not vote. His overall counts were historically low. The result looks far stronger than it was.


He doesn't have a mandate, but it's great that he thinks he does. He will over reach.

Not true. Most women voted for Harris. In fact 53% voted for Harris. She would have won by a landslide if it were up to women.

Bless your heart.

Now do *white* women.

I see you.


Where's the lie though? The majority of men voted for Trump and the majority of women voted for Harris.

enough with that narrative. The dems failing the middle class is what right wing media wants you to think. Most of their policies are aligned with where most voters are. And Trump had no plan for anything when campaigning.

There was a women's march? Was there any coverage of it? Apparently it wasn't consequential.

There was a huge rally at Lincoln memorial, so many gathered along reflecting pool to Monument. Many speakers. Try to watch other media that covered,

They should call it the "Few People's" march because no one showed up. In 2017 there were like 600,000 people on the street. We had 10 out of town guests in our house who attended the Women's March. In 2025? We did not go, and no friends came. Why? Because they are useless and spend more time on hating Israel and screaming about socialism than about abortion rights and marriage equality.

Those weren’t men.

Well that was anticlimactic.
