    Wonderful, dear US friends!

    A powerful sign against all the hatred and corruption that Trump and his henchmen stand for.

    I think large demonstrations like this are incredibly important, especially nowadays, because the manipulation in social media and the traditional media can so easily give the false impression that a majority would share the inhumane ideology of this regime.

    For the tens of thousands on the streets, it is obvious how many decent people there actually are.

    Trump and his opinion makers can do little about this - apart from their usual ridiculous conspiracy theories around Soros and other such Bogus. Because not even these unscrupulous fascists can (yet) dare to stop thousands and thousands of people from demonstrating, or even have them all arrested.

    Good luck and all the best from Europe!

      Thank you; finally someone from Europe that sees Americans are struggling to fight. Over there you’re unlikely to see the whole picture about what’s going on. I understand that Europeans are mad and I don’t blame them, but I wish more Europeans understood that division is exactly what the powers want and your media is likely being manipulated as well, albeit to perhaps a much lesser degree, in order to sow that division.

      It is not tens of thousands.

      D.C alone has an estimated 100.000 people marching.

      Nationwide the number is believed to be 5 million, i read somewhere.

        Yes, it’s scandalous, but that’s why the people on the street are so important, because sooner or later you can no longer overlook them as they are a fact of life in the real world - and then it becomes clear how one-sided the media coverage is.
