N. Senada posted:I ask with sincerity, what are the anticipated and/or desired results of these actions? I understand what's motivating them, but what are the leaders/organizers/participants expecting to have happen? Agitation that pushes the electoral college to vote differently? No one knows yet if this is "all the stuff trump said is going to be things that he really tries to make happen" or "this is a regular lovely republican presidency" having a large and visible group of people is the sort of thing that will keep this towards the "it's a regular lovely republican" and away being too casual about the real from the nazi hitler "we need to ban muslims" and gay reeducation camp stuff.

Main Paineframe posted:The problem with this is that it implies that "regular lovely Republican" poo poo like re-banning gay marriage, building a border wall, cracking down on immigration, more voter ID laws, outright transphobia, and appointing three solidly conservative Supreme Court justices are all things that are okay and that you are perfectly fine with. I think that stuff is absolutely important as well. But is less directly prevented via protest. different solutions for different problems.

As soon as every protestor is wearing a suit it will just change to "heh, some protest, looks like the only people that showed up are suit wearing millennials on their daddy's dime." There isn't really any combination of clothes that doesn't give people a wish to discount things a way to discount them.
