Just like the Occupy movement this will burn out fairly fast especially if things keep getting better. Oh sure, you're going to have the loony leftists constantly protesting one thing or another but the masses?
Nope.

When/if actual full time jobs start showing up en masse instead of the part time service jobs that we've gotten over the last 8 years, wages go up and people see that the world isn't going to stop spinning all these women will go back to worrying about the stuff that got their panties in a bunch and wound 'em up last year and the year before...
The problem is that the democrats in Washington, and the msm will never let up, and allow if to die down.

We are going to see this for as long as Trump is in office.

We've already seen more attacks against Trump even before taking office, than Obama faced his entire 8 years. I have no doubt that the attacks will rise to what is essentially a political coup by the establishment politicians, and the msm against Trump.

I do not fear what Trump is going to do in office, I fear the damage that will be done by those that will stop at nothing to stop Trump from wrestling power away from the establishment, and globalists.

Haha, I saw an interviewer asking the protestors who Trump's opponent was in the election. 4 out of 10 didn't know.

That is the caliber of "protester" you have out there. They didn't even know that Hillary was the one who lost.

ETA: Perfect examples in the replies above my post.
WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

Democrats taking it to a new level? Yeah, right.

Why - it's as if you don't remember the tea party starting up in the first days after Obama took office - and actually breaking up town hall meetings with their screaming...or spitting in the face of John Lewis.

I think the only big difference here is that MILLIONS are taking to the streets today.
Heck, here in "Trumpland" of Sarasota Florida I just saw the biggest crowd I ever saw on a local march.

This is what America is about. 40% of Americans approve of Trump - that means 60% do not.

AND, given the people he has insulted and put down (everyone?), I think people are more fired up than if he were an unpopular normal human being (GW Bush, etc).

No one is going to forget what Trump said and did. Bringing genital size in the POTUS debates is not something that history will forget.

Get over it. People are sane and this new POTUS may not be.

Don't worry, OP. Trump will be whining about HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people who have hurt his little feelings soon enough. It will help relieve his stress at being called out by HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people (men, woman and children) who know he's a dangerous fool.

Several years ago, and I do mean several years (more than a decade and a half), I quite strongly identified as a Republican.

On this very message board, there are posts written by me (around 2008) that very clearly carry strong Republican overtones.

The problem is not partisanship. The problem is that the Republican party dropped people like me and became what I can only describe as insane.

I did not change. Republican politicians abandoned me.

I need Republicans to stop saying, in public, things I can only describe as literally insane. Psychotic. Things that make no sense and have no place in an educated, modern society.

But the further right they move, the more they dig their heels in when people point out this craziness.

That is a toxic cycle to be sure, but it is not a product of partisan politics. I can no longer tell the difference between Republican politicians and the homeless guy on the steps of the Capitol who says that God is talking to him.

Eh. With each president the ante gets upped. The hate-a-thon has been spiraling down for decades, neither side gets to claim the moral high ground with this.

Plus, Trump ran as the guy not afraid to **** everyone off. Of course he's going to get some of that anger back.
