Why anti-Trump protests will fail.
Any successful movement involves several phases. First of all, you have to get attention. The people who oppose President Trump are trying to get attention. The second phase involves organization. One or more leaders need to emerge and organize people at the grassroots level. Hve you identified any leaders of the protests. I am disappointed that Hillary Clinton hasn't tried to tap into her support. What are her followers doing to organize against Trump. It might be happening but I don't see it yet. The third phase of a protest movement is to reach out to your opponents and form winning a coalition. Perhaps Hillary Clinton will never be the leader to appeal to "deplorable' Republicans. labeling all Republicans as racist or sexist won't winning any GOP voters to the anti-Trump cause. What can Trump opponents offer me? The fourth phase of a movement is to plan future actions. How will Democrats get out the vote next time? How will Democrats broaden their base? How do you develop brand new leaders? Which issues will be important during the next election?
