[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of this matters. What is important is that on January 20, 2017 Donald J. Trump will be President of the United States and you will still be a bitter democrat.[/quote]

It may not matter to you. But it will definitely matter to the short-fingered vulgarian. He'll still be gnashing his teeth at 4 am, and getting ready to put his short fingers to work on Twitter.[/quote]

It matters at least a little bit:

As posted on this board before (not by me but I like it):

"I see the Women's March as an undeniable VISUAL way to re-frame the trump administration from day one. Literally. 
By turning out huge numbers, the march could be a VISUAL anchor in how the country (and the world!) see this administration.  
[b]Because no matter what type of BS trump says about having a mandate or winning by a "landslide," it's a lie.[/b] But his MO is to say the lie over and over again until either people believe it or he has at least shifted the focus of the conversation in his direction.  
[b]So one way to counter that is to show that it's false in a simple, visceral way. Not facts and figures.[/b] Clear, powerful images. Undeniable footage of people taking to the streets in opposition. It's a way to re-write the narrative. Is this a concrete policy goal? No. But it does have a focus.  
The focus is this: We are many. We are unafraid. And we are ready to oppose the trump administration. We do not passively accept his foul campaign pledges. We actively oppose him and the policies he has promised. And we are ready to fight him every step of the way. "

The day after Inauguration, the focus won't be one POTUS, it will be on all the marches, not only in the US, but also all over Europe, yes, Europe, [i]against [/i]him.
Maybe it's not much, but it's better than nothing.[/quote]

This list and the women's march have one thing in common. Try to guess.
