That is how the tea party managed to get their congress people to stop anything that the democrats wanted to do. We will do the same thing they did and it works.
When did the Tea Party stand on a podium and say they were going to Blow Up the White House? (and far far worse was said which I can't repeat here)

Then of course there were 100s who are facing 10 years jail time for the rioting that hit DC the day before. I realize they were different groups, but the vast majority of the country seems them and the pussyhats as the same sort of thing.

Congress is going to do everything they can to, to distance themselves from this.

They are still in bad denial.

Of the five of us in our family, four of whom attended the march, the four oldest voted. The youngest will vote in the next presidential election.

This is anecdotal. It doesn't answer the question that you were responded to.

Considering your reading comprehension skills, it doesn't sound like you received a very good education. I asked why it's okay for "all of us" to pay for public schools and not religious schools. Especially for people who live in cities and pay for both public schools that they don't use and private schools for their own children?

Well, in all fairness and in all honesty, as a women, I assume we’re all a bit used to sexual harassment and assault (you will never believe how soul crushing it is to admit that) Now that I am getting a little bit older, (was born in 1985) I know the differences between assault, harassment, and just friendly, harmless flirt. So I try not to be all drama queen about it.

Growing up with two very beautiful big brothers (both modeled), one was a Marine, I know what locker room talk really is, what Trump said was a little bit beyond just locker room talk. This, I do admit and I am not going to defend him for that.

I , however, don't believe that normalize this sort of behavior, it only escalates. I think decent men will always be decent men.

I think Mr. Trump is a very intelligent man who has a lot of flaws. Like it or not, admit it or not, he is OUR president now, and nobody can really change it. If he wins, we all win. We are all in this together.

I am not a protest kind of gal. So I won't judge either way. I think the country deserves some healing, and I think it is about time to move on.

Maybe different people have different definition of the word "strong". I think nothing is stronger than gentle strength. But that is just my opinion.

Somehow, saying the F word every few seconds is not necessarily strong to me. But it is just me.

So now you speak for the "vast majority"? I give the vast majority credit for being able to see the difference between a small handful of agitators looking to cause trouble on Trumps big day and millions of peaceful people/woman coming together to march the day after the swearing in.

At the women's march in Sacramento I talked to a number of women who admitted voting for Trump. They had buyer's remorse to the extent that they got up and went out on a cold January day to let the world know how they felt. Given the turnout in many 'red' areas in the US I think that those ladies at the Sacramento event were no the only ones Trump voters who are regretting their decision.
