Others needlessly. This is a blue town and the residents would be more adversely affected than would Trump.

Don't rile the horses. Be Civil!

Sadly, I agree that this idea would be counter-productive. America's Middle is very skilled at rolling their eyes and stepping around any obstacle in their quest to get to work/school/vacation.

Because Republicans are counting on the country to be silent while they cram through unqualified ideologue judges. That’s why they accept a traitor in the White House.

We must stop them. Be outraged. Show up.

MLK specifically wanted to be peaceful, but visible. Loud and inconvenient. Not civil.

Anyone who pushes for civility is helping the GOP. Don’t do that.

1. Mostly office buildings around Lafayette Park
2. DC residents hate this president and everything the stands for (because they are educated, so they see throug the Fox/Limbaugh lies). DC residents will LOVE this protest.

You know the only people who won’t like this protest?
Republicans.

Hey! Hey! LBJ, How many kids did you kill today?

And LBJ himself said later in life that it got to him, and was a big part of him stepping down rather than running for another term.

Of course, I wouldn't expect it to bother the sociopath we have in the white house now. But it would put everyone else in the city on notice.

Even bigger than the inauguration protest and the million mom march

50 million people need to converge in DC... outlandish? probably... but our nation is at stake.
