What does it hurt? I mean, besides the egos of everyone who thinks Trump is making this country "great".

This is such a silly thing to complain about.

I thought I lived in a split small town until the last protest. I prepared for a lot of arguments and shitty behavior. There turned out to be hundreds of protesters, and less than 10 counter-protesters. It was extremely eye-opening, and pivotally important to how I see my town now. I met a lot of people, and heard their stories. It was massively important because it made all of us realize just how many people oppose this evil regime.

This protest was one of the largest in US history. It showed the WORLD how many of us oppose the disguising behavior we're all witnessing.

Lack of effective resistance to fascism is absolutely not a silly thing to complain about.

We've known that since April, and again since May, June, July and now September. How many of these do you need before something happens?

Fascism running unopposed while the people who should be opposing it think their parades are going to stop it is a bad thing. It means you're still going to get fascism.

Ah there it is, someone doing absolutely nothing whining that other people aren't doing enough
