Thread:Comments:Women's March becomes largest protest in U.S. history/Misplaced anger/reply (2)

Given Trump's executive order barring people from seven Muslim countries, I don't think their fears were unjustified.

The women's march looks like a general march because there were so many specific goals present. Yes, some of the signs were non-specific like "I'm %#$% Pissed," but there were also people holding signs about preserving Obamacare, keeping abortion and birth control legal, protecting gay and trans people, against "grab them by the pussy" and against Islamophobia and anti-immigrant action. Frankly, the best thing Trump could have done just then was say, "Ladies, your demonstration has moved me to reconsider some of my policies" and then given up his crass behavior, even if he didn't change any of his major goals for governance. In fact, he may have done this. The gay community was a huge presence at the march, and Trump recently announced that he's not going lift an Obama-era executive order protecting gays in workplaces run by federal contractors.
