My 1/21 March Experience

[haymarket]

Yesterday I an my wife, son and daughter-in-law participated in the Ann Arbor, Michigan march to advocate for Women and against the Trump agenda.

The crowd was about 2/3 to 3/4 female with lots of ***** cat home made hats and lots and lots and lots of signs against Trump and for various womens issues. The main speaker was US Representative Debbie Dingell.

We wound our way through a snakelike route through downtown from the post office to the U of M dig. I guess it was about a mile or so and it took about 45 minutes to get over that distance. The media is reporting 10,000 people in the march although the crowd at the Diag was about half of that. If you got there after the front spots were taken, it was impossible to see and you had to stand on very muddy ground and lots of folks scoped that out and left before things really got started with the speeches.

Great weather for mid January in Michigan as the temp was in the 50's and it was bright and sunny.

The speeches were a combination of college students keeping it short and local political figures and activists.

Everything was peaceful. There were no incidents of trouble.

Lots of people brought children and the atmosphere was one of joyful commitment to do something to fight what they do not want to see in Trump and his policies.

I later was told that all the downtown parking structures were filled by 1 PM and some people had to walk a great distance just to get there. So it was a rousing success as organizers expected only about 1,000 people.

When we got home about 5 PM and watched coverage of the nations other larger marches on TV I was proud to be have been a part of the millions of Americans who did this.

Trump loves women...the whole thing was a waste of time and energy, but it is so nice to see people socializing and getting their exercise.

It was great weather, I was in Plymouth! Do you believe the event accomplished anything?

He loves women sure but does he respect them? His actions and comments leading up to this point say no.

Bull, he gives women lots of opportunities to work, and he has a habit of surrounding himself with strong women, cause he likes the challenge.

The narrative that Trump is anything but the most upstanding of men when it comes to women is fiction.

Good morning Hawkeye.

During his campaign & in the debates, along with what he has stated regarding Supreme court appointments, I would say that he has taken a conservative stance toward women's health issues. I guess time will tell as to where we will wind up with that, won't it?

A dont know of a single thing Trump has said that women have any issue with other than that Abortion should be a states rights issue, something that he has a pretty decent argument for. It is not that big a deal, it just means that women need to have a good enough claim that their state capital will agree to it. If their state capital will not then they have bigger problems to deal with than Abortion.

He has often stuck his neck out for planned parenthood, where is the credit for that?

He has actually flip flopped on Planned Parenthood. But, no matter. The fact is he has stated that he plans to reverse everything Obama did. This is the latest "rumor." As I said, time will tell. Maybe sooner than expected. Cheers. ;

My wife got in her 10,000 steps ..... 12K actually. And the time was well spent and I am glad we attended. The pics on TV last night sent a message .... a shot across the bow so to speak. It was really unprecedented in American history.

 

[haymarket]

It was great weather, I was in Plymouth! Do you believe the event accomplished anything?

Where in Plymouth were you?

Yes I do think it accomplished something important if only to fire a shot across the Trump bow. But lots of people were at the tables singing up to actually do things and that is a positive step forward.

I live in Plymouth. What kinds of things were they signing up for?

Well, that's the narrative that the Leftist mefia has created, anyway.

[haymarket]

We were halfway back and did not get near the tables..... but there were lines and people were signing up to get notified about upcoming events or to join certain area clubs like INDIVISIBLE.

 

[haymarket]

What shot across the bow?

Its an expression that you put the opposition on notice you will take future actions.

I am surprised you are not familiar with it as its a common phrase.

 

[Higgins86]

Well, that's the narrative that the Leftist mefia has created, anyway.

I think that's the narrative most people came to after watching the election. He attacked his opponents wives ,he attacked one of his GoP rivals early on based on her looks and then of course the grab them by the ***** audio.

What further actions? More violence? More in your face protests?

Talking trash doesn't equate to not having respect for women. You were inbthe service, you know the difference.

 

[haymarket]

There was no violence yesterday so there cannot be FURTHER violence.

And hopefully lots of peaceful protests all over the land just like yesterday.

 

[apdst]

The past two days were violent, in your face protests. There's no denying that.

You people have nothing but the usual, "our way, or the highway", agenda. Hopefully you'll never figure out why that's been losing elections.

 

[haymarket]

The past two days were violent, in your face protests. There's no denying that.

So out of the 600 yesterday, how many can you provide verifiable evidence for that involved violence?

There was plenty of violence on Friday. Friday is included in, "the past two days".

 

[haymarket]

So a small group of people disrupted one event on Friday. Thats one for your side.

So out of the over 600 yesterday, how many can you show violence at?

You marched... against Trump, because he's vulgar? Were you in the "March against Bill and hillary" becuase he sexually assaults women?

Wait no? So this whole thing was political stunt based on vulgar words by Trump, but you don't react the same to actions far worse...

Hmmm....
