A month ago before Christmas, I was having lunch with 2 female Hillary voters. One went to Wellesley. They were talking about what they were doing for the ingauration and if they would join the march they're having tomorrow. And the Wellesley gal said she heard Trump people are going to be violent.
Then I had to jump in and said, "Wait...do you mean Trumpers or anti-Trumpers?" Then she shot me that feminist glare and said, "WE'RE not talking about this now!" Ho-lee-sheet.
I think it's fair to say not all Democrat voters are violent protestors, but all violent protestors voted Democrat.

Perhaps. The protestors are generally sheep and parrots, not investigating the facts, but only acting and shouting that which they have been told.

That was really a joke making fun of the "not all Republicans are racist, but all racists vote Republican."
It really pisses me off seeing those protestors base themselves at the Lone Sailor/Navy Memorial on Pennsylvania Avenue. Makes me sick to my stomach. If you want to protest and act like an asshat, fine. Don't do it at a Memorial to sailors and marines.

And think back to all the attention the media gave the alt.right.
We heard and read how bad there are. They were described as "Brownshirts'
Or, go back a little further in time to the Tea Party -- they called little old ladies holding the US flag "racists."
But who is actually breaking and burning things, punching people and preventing others from exercising their rights? It is the left. It is always the left who does this.

I was naive in that I hoped it wouldn't become violent. The Pink ***** brigade is a different type of protester. These are the upset suburban moms and women's lib holdovers. They are typically our teachers, HR professionals and politically motivated soccer moms. Violence isn't even a consideration for them.
These violent protesters are the younger anarchists and militant side of racial equality movements, typically the extreme side of BLM. I previously thought this was a pretty narrow group embodied by the rebel rousers in Portland (anarchist group based in Eugene) and other raucus college campus crowds but I fear the group as a whole may be larger.

Definitely a nod to "this is a sad day".

We were talking about this concurrently with his speech
Such a nice change from the Narcissist-In-Chief.

Hopefully a better LB than a Presidential candidate.
Announcers said there were about 200 of them. Inauguration was just an excuse to riot.
They probably aren't violent. However, one lesson they could learn is that if you have the word "*****" in your name and wear stupid hats, most fair-minded people and certainly most people whose minds can be changed are going to tune you out. I assume they're referring to the Trump video, but using the word themselves rhetorically legitimizes Trump's use of it and reduces their credibility to his or worse.
Mr. Deez, that is what amuses me about the whole P***y movement. A few months ago these very same mothers were weeping (literally) on Facebook over Trump's comments.
"What do we tell our daughters? How do we tell them this isn't ok when the candidate for President says these misogynistic words?"
Flash forward to now. The same women are wearing p***y hats and T-shirts that read, "I'm a nasty *****" and "Nasty ******* get things done". How do they explain the hats and shirts to their daughters?
I have no doubt that their protest will be peaceful, but for the life of me I don't truly understand what they are protesting. Trump was caught using some gross language, and is (supposedly) pro-life, but other than that I don't see a huge "war on women".
My Facebook friends that are at the march seem to having a big, old vacation--hanging out in bars/eating out/having a grand time at the Peace Ball. The protest signs they have made make no sense. "Love Trumps Hate" type of meaningless slogans. The weirdest is a No Trump, Just Love with a black power fist. (All of these women are white as snow). Having fun is their right, as is the protest, yet I wonder if the money spent on this march would be better used supporting women's causes.
I'm sure there are many women's shelters, programs for battered women, single mothers, educational programs, etc. that could use that money, and it would actually make a positive impact on women in need, not wealthy moms with vacation days to spare.
I guess I'm a traitor to my gender.

I am guessing that most of these women are feminist and all about equal rights. Well, maybe they want to do something idiotic like men do all the time?

There's a whole lot of this running through modern feminism. "If men can be rude, crass, obnoxious, and obsessed with sex, then why can't we?"
They are protesting the loss of stature (in their minds) of being moral beacons. They feel that their concerns became secondary when the country elected Trump, which to some extent is true cause not everything can be the highest priority. This backlash is what happens when you invest in virtue signaling and the like. The reality is that 99% of their lives is not going to change under Trump.
I know Deez preferred he was POTUS, so not sure if he will like him on the football team. After all, he is pro-marijuana.

Good article. The march could use better PR cause it's purpose is lost among the rioters who were there the day before. Should have picked a day that meant something like Susan B Anthony's birthday or something. I recognize this article is refreshingly slanted against the march, but the effort appears to be virtual signaling all the way down.
