Huge Rallies May Signal an Anti-Trump Movement

“The new lines of conflict in America were vividly drawn Saturday: A freshly revived protest movement has risen to greet a president acutely attuned to public opinion,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

“Not for decades, since 1960s protesters took to the streets against the Vietnam War, has a chief executive faced such visible opposition. And never in memory has a new president faced such widespread and intense criticism in the first 24 hours of his term.”

The big question: Can it be sustained?

He may come to loath the day he decided he wanted to run for President. I sure hope so.

My first thought was why is he going on the down escalator as opposed to the up escalator? Don't you want to portray yourself as "uplifting"? Instead he took the down escalator leading to the abyss we are now facing.

This nation sustained an anti-war movement during the 1960s and 1970s for nearly a decade. We can most certainly sustain an anti-Trump movement until he and his cronies are gone.

how sustainable it will be after he is impeached. Will this level of opposition remain against the GOP and their policies?
