      personally I would class success of a protest as having an effect such as forcing a change.

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

      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 @HPluckrose

      form a group, enage directly with politicians, find a champion move through the layers until you are heard

      Lobbyists know this, it is how they work, they either find a political champion or use money to open doors

      For a single issue cause, yes. But your metric for success here is removal of Trump. @vininim @HPluckrose

      Public disgust for Trump is already putting many supporters in apologist/sugar-coating mode. That's hopeful.

      They'd likely be much more arrogant & urging further extremes if ppl weren't visibly appalled.

      You've seen what Trump has done in the last two days & Trumpists scrambling to sugar-coat it!

          I've been on a shoot in the middle of nowhere. Is this about the ban thing that isn't now?

          Yes! His attempt at a Muslim ban which doesn't affect his business interests & the chaos that ensued.

          the one similar to the one Obama imposed in 2011 on Iraq refugees based on a list of countries put together under him?

          I don't disagree with strengthening checks, but blanket banning countries was wrong when Obama did it & trump wrong now
