    I see your point although I was speaking in regard to the Trump Administration, not the protests themselves.

    I believe in protesting itself. I think it’s a good thing. I just don’t think the Trump Administration is not interested in playing by the rules, and that’s the problem. We, as American Citizens, need to do more, though, if I’m honest I’m not sure what outside of a general strike.

      I think that’s all fair. But individual reps might care. I think that’s where you can make progress. Those midterms are coming in hot for all those reps.

      The Republican party is Trump at the moment, and those reps are looking at getting their asses kicked out of a job.
