    I feel like there were larger protests after his first election and concerned about not seeing more

    It’s been two weeks. People are still reeling and major protests take time to organize.

    The 50501 movement alone has organized more protests than there was in the first two weeks of his first infestation. No matter what it “feels like” to you.

      I was really just looking for people’s insights/perspectives on things here, cause I feel like it’s important.

      But to demonstrate what I mean, the 2017 women’s march happened the day after Trumps first inauguration and had 470,000 people in DC alone, with somewhere between 3-5million participating across the country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Women’s_March

        Idk why people are being so toxic to you but another thing to consider is the news cycle has been completely overtaken by Trump since

          I think people are just frustrated, I know I am.

          You’re certainly right about Tump just owning the news cycle. Whether it’s all been literally taken over, they’re too afraid to fight back, or whatever it’s clear that most news agencies aren’t willing to call a spade a spade (or a nazi salute a nazi salute).
