Protests

So I remember all the way back to 2009 and the Tea Party movement. They held all sorts of protests, none of which convinced me of anything other then that the movement was seriously clueless. Remembering that, I am reflexively leery of anti-Trump protests. On the other hand, the lack of clues I see is in Trump, not (generally) the protesters.

I think the lesson from the Tea Party is that protest needs to convert to candidates and votes. If that happens, good, if not, they are sound and fury signifying nothing.
