in a form like this?

I dont know but will guess less than 5% of what we will see here.

It should be important to point this out, that when asked to hit the streets and show dissatisfaction with Obama and Democrats, X amount show up, when it is for Trump or GOP, Y show up.

I believe, like I said, Y is about 20 times X.

In a sane world this should matter, in fact the president and team should say "Oh, wait...majority of America does NOT want us to do all these things, hmmm" ... I will sadly inform you all that it wouldn't matter if zero percent of the country wnated what they are going to do, they are going to do it anyway.

Yes, here in the states it started with and is probably mostly about Trump, but other countries? I don't think it is solely about Trump's attitude towards women, and their rights, but about discrimination towards everyone who has any kind of Minority status (especially as US President), not rolling back the clock on Civil Rights for anyone.

As even the Pope in Rome has said you don't build Walls or take away Health Care from your citizens and still call yourself a Christian.

It goes way beyond Women's Issues and Trump's/Republicans philosophy toward the Country and the World in general.

could not muster a few thousand in protest of Obama, but the left will send maybe millions.

Surely millions if you count all over the country.
