Re: “ the very fact that nationwide protests are happening is something he and his supporters will not be able to wave away…” - I’d guess they easily can and will. 75M voters voted against DT. Those who don’t like him personally or his policies will never like him or believe any policy successes mitigate perceived failures. So, it is not unexpected some subset of the 75M will (in one form or another) raise voices/protest for 3+ years until #47 out of office. Unfortunately for them, NK protest was so unfocused it really does appear meaningless to leading to change.
So empty-headed morons, driven by emotion, not an understanding of politics or cause and effect, decided to march because they don't like Trump. They also accuse him of every possible misdeed under the sun. No human being in Western history has ever drawn as much condemnation as Trump (not even Hitler). It's absurd, unbalanced and signifies the overt feminization of the Woke left. Always feelings, and the 'virtue signalling' of them. Never rationality, efforts to make a difference in anyone's lives, or any unselfish, non-finger-pointing act.
The big story about the protests is that the media is unquestionably parroting the claims of organizers that "millions" turned out. In my flyover state there were numerous organized protests but they were completely invisible due to low attendance.
The gibbering, willfully ignorant Israel-haters, no matter how many or few of them, are reason enough for any decent person to avoid these rallies, especially one as pointless as this.
Good report, Nick. I would have gone to cover the 'No Kings (I don't like)' rally here in the very red panhandle of West Virginia, in Wheeling, but I couldn't find my hearing aids, my old 'Peace' sign and a wheel fell off my walker. At 78, I was too young, anyway. My new best friend Grok got there late, but he took this photo.... https://x.com/i/grok/share/FDcsbRW6qOjmwXpCEYGX7BfBU
Did you write for the Daily Targum? In addition to the South African divestiture, I recall there were plenty of no-nukes protests back in the early '80s when Reagan was deploying Pershing cruise missiles to Europe.

You sound like a hysterical retard. Probably you’re fat.
A wonderful piece. It made me feel nostalgic for the journalism of the past, when everything wasn't always so deliberately... existential.
The big story about the protests is that the media is unquestionably parroting the claims of organizers that "millions" turned out. In my flyover state there were numerous organized protests but they were completely invisible due to low attendance.
CORRECTED "Even when the issues were more fraught and revolved around acts like the overdose of career criminal George Floyd..."

Wrote tons for Targum from 1981-1985!
A pretty easy guess. I didn't think you'd made it big and wrote for The Home News!
Ha--I was a stringer for them for a few years, '86 to '87 or '88 I think! It was folded into another paper years ago, like a Stuff Yer Face stromboli.
Well, at least the weather was nice.
Thanks for going Nick. So we wouldn’t have to.
