That's not how politics works. Result can be change later on, or prevention of something happening

it makes protesters feel better, like their "doing something". But policy shift comes from lobbying

Lobbying how? I'm interested in what people who criticise the protest think would be a better strategy @vininim

And you think that would be more effective at 'removing Trump'? The day after inauguration? @vininim

no one on the march has the right to remove trump They exercised their right to have a say when they voted

if "removing trump" was the goal of the march can we at least agree it wasn't a success in those terms?

There's a reason that tyrants ban speech & gatherings & protests & burn books etc. They know their power.
