quote:

Kushner’s presence at the White House on Thursday drew notice from Obama’s staff when he asked, as they toured the West Wing, how many of the individuals there would remain into the next administration. Nearly all will depart along with the president.

god drat this is going to be some kinda show. i'd hate to be one of Obama's staff picked out to stay behind to help with the transition. he'd be like one of the rear guard having to give up his/her life so the rest can make safe retreat. bless you brave soul

quote:

“It’s in everybody’s interest to have a good transition,” said Martha Kumar, the director of the White House Transition Project. “We’re living in a world of great vulnerability. You can’t afford to not prepare well.

lol nothing about Trump's entire campaign has been about preparing.... this really is somethin else.

Yeah. Makes sense.

I have to admit, the right wing propaganda machine is far more prolific and effective at indoctrinating the public.

The left wing really needs to find and recruit an exceptionally talented character assassin if they're going to compete with that.

What kind of results do demonstrations like these typically have? Are they usually effective or counterproductive/ easily counteted?

This is similar to what's referred to in activist circles as a "summit protest," where protesters converge on a city to confront and/or disrupt a specific meeting, like the Seattle WTO 1999, Genoa G8 2001, St. Paul RNC 2008, Pittsburgh G20 2011. The WTO in 1999 was a huge success in disrupting the summit, but after the increased police militarization post-9/11, they've become a largely ineffective strategy due to state repression. There's usually a fuckload of heavily armed riot police. However, the antiglobalization summit protests, for example, played an important role in delegitimizing global institutions like the WTO, IMF, World Bank, and G8/G20, changing celebratory meetings of elites into battlegrounds.

They're not counterproductive at all, just not usually worth it for the most part. HOWEVER, in this particular case, an anti-Trump resistance movement could show from day 1 of the regime that Trump's rule is strongly contested, and just because he was elected, doesn't mean people are going to consent to it. It'll at least create a logistical nightmare for the ceremony and put a damper on his victory celebration. And depending on what the next 68 days bring, the protest could go out with a whimper and be heavily repressed, or it just maybe could trigger a legit political crisis leading to the fall of Trump and the Republicans!!

they arrested people yesterday and the day before so maybe not I guess unless they arrest every single one and keep them in jail. I think the notion/image of trump as idiot bumbling around mindlessly destroying everything is probably dangerous considering his mindless idiocy is pretty successful and somehow manages to rally millions of people a reasonable portion of which are racist nut jobs that really do want to organize deportation squads.

Police have been arresting protesters for as long as there's been protesters. These protests will stop by tomorrow night and folks will rest and organize. Then something will spur them back into action in the coming weeks. Remember, the Democrats are done for now, humiliated and powerless and discredited. There's only street-level movements now.

I am saying that such a thing could happen and that it would be an absolute nightmare and probably throw us into at least a civil war as a result of people lynching Muslims, Sikhs, and swarthy Latinos who look kinda' Muzz-lam in the streets.
