None. Just like Trump won't pass any "it's legal to grab p**sy" laws.
It didn't matter that you didn't vote for Clinton, the fact remains that just like Clinton didn't remove sexual assault laws, neither will Trump.
The protesters are smarter than you think. They weren't worried that Trump was going to pass any "it's legal to grab *****" laws. They actually know that Congress passes laws, not the President. They actually know that the President's power lies in how he crafts policy to enforce laws.

They were protesting essentially because the DNC told them to protest. The party instructed their surrogates to stir this up, and they did an outstanding job.
What does the "biggest group of people" have to do with it?
Your argument is nonsensical, since the majority of Americans didn't protest this weekend. The biggest group of people sat home.
But more than a million felt the need to exercise their freedom of speech, to let the new administration know that they disagree with President Trump and some of the positions he's taken, and to let his administration and the legislature know that they, the protesters, are engaged and aware. These people are voters, they are citizens, and they were speaking out. YOU get to speak out as well, but criticizing them for speaking out about what their issues were, rather than the issues you would like them to speak out about is, well, silly. You don't get to tell other people what their issues are. I guess that part of "thinking for themselves" went over your head.
Excellent response. If Trump's election has done anything positive it's that it has awakened a sleeping population who has grown too complacent. And as the massive demonstrations across the country proved, we are awake now. I joined a local political activist group today, something that, even though I've been politically aware for years now, I had never felt motivated to do before. You can thank Donald Trump for that. And I bet I'm not alone.

The DNC played these women like fools.
Time to stop Pedro, you have resorted to grasping at straws.
But nooooooooo... Not one temper tantrum marcher protested the practice of Muslim FGM in the US or to US resident/citizen girls/young women. SO much more important for them to have a public temper tantrum because Trump SAID the p-word.
Hypocrites!
You're here on a regular basis protesting everything but FMG in the US.
Why are you exempt but everyone else has to otherwise they're hypocrites?
Let's see here, the governor asks a state employee to come up to his hotel room and then exposes himself to her, and that isn't sexual harassment?
If you had been at that rally and stated that an employer who exposes himself to an employee isn't committing sexual harassment, I think they would have beat you to death.
If a woman working a booth at a convention gets invited to join a man (that she knows has a home a few blocks away) to his hotel room late at night, what exactly should she think the nature of that invitation is? Nope, not sexual harassment.

My post was in response to someone claiming that something must be right if a lot of people believe it. My point is that it is possible for a lot of people together to be wrong. If you think a large group is wrong you should say so. I'm saying so. They can have their issues. I choose not to see myself as a victim just because I'm female. They don't speak for all of us and I have a right to say so.
