I am disgusted by Trump and did not vote for him but protesting nationally is a waste of time.
Protesting is unpractical in offering any solution and all it does is highlight the continued anger and differences between political viewpoints which is kinda the last thing we need. Totally plays into MAGA hands.
Dems need to face the fact we lost. Take the bitter pill that stupidity caused. Accept MAGA is in power and daily, be the best person you can be for your sphere of influence. Take power away from MAGA by being different than them. That's the tangible approach to making a difference.
This is not the French Revolution - protest drama is not more drama we need. Unless you really want French Rev violence, this protest is more Dem idiocy.
No one wants French Revolution violence but we do want a strong statement to tell elected leaders and those in the current administration that the population does not support Fascism or Dictatorships and expects the rule of law and the Constitution to be followed.
There is lots of reporting that Republicans in Congress do not agree with Trump and are appalled but too afraid to speak up because they’re afraid of MAGA. Large protests send the message that they do not have the support of their constituents if they continue supporting Trump. Help them grow a backbone and stand up to him.
I can think of some I would love to see meet a Guillotine.

I will not be marching on April 5th this year. I'm a Jewish Democrat who supports Israel and its people, if not its current government. It's been made abundantly clear by folks from the leadership of the Women's March to local progressives that Zionism in any form is not welcome in their spaces. I refuse to march side by side with people wearing keffiyehs and waving Palestinian flags and who couldn't be bothered to spare a thought for the Jewish students on besieged campuses like Columbia.
Think I'm alone? Think again.

I’m going to go to the hardware store and see if they have little ones I can pass out.
Please do. It’s going to make headlines when all your DSA and Squad-supporting friends burn those flags at the march.

I believe the rest of the world needs to see U.S. citizens protesting what Trump is doing.

Calling everyone who disagrees with you a troll shows your position is bereft of any righteous ground to stand on.
American patriots know what a wonan is —It’s your Mama! (Pastor Gino Jennings). American patriots do not try to assassinate the president and cheer for those who try.
Wave our flags all you want —peacefully. That is your right. You do not have the right to destroy property, which includes Tesla cars.
No one needs to destroy Teslas. Elon Musk is destroying his brand all by himself.
- but if someone burns up a Tesla at the march then every marcher will cheer and celebrate.
