 Also never stop protesting. The leadership of the left have already started to roll over and give up. Your representatives will fail you. Our willingness to fight is all we have.

 Remember that protests will, increasingly over the next few years, be met with violence. Do not let this stop you. People will die, but more people will die if you do not protest.

Go start a thread promoting nihilistic contrarianism if it is so important for you to waste words on it.
Seems redundant, GBS already exists.

The rally I'm at in Austin Texas is incredible. Hundreds of people and the Mayor declared Austin will be a Sanctuary City. If he really means it today should be national news.

Edit turns out the mayor is not willing to make that stance. drat
Seattle mayor Ed Murray did, though, and stood by it. I think a few cities will.

Why are people protesting against a democratically elected government that hasn't done anything yet?
Because they're concerned about anti-dissent crackdowns preventing protests in the future.

Maybe you should wait until Trump does something horrible and focus on what horrible thing he does rather then what you imagine he will do.
Or protest the many, many damaging things he's promised to do, before they do all that damage.

 It also ensures that the media can't ignore a cause, it keeps issues visible in public, and it helps to prevent complacency. This is why so many protests include things like civil disobedience. If you inconvenience people, they can't ignore you.
