Tens of Thousands Protesting Trump's Immigration and Refugee Ban

It's like Trump means to keep us energized and on our toes throughout his presidency:

I wonder if these people would, er, 'resist every day' if they had some dogs set on them and their kids or got trampled by mounted police. I suspect that their numbers would decrease very rapidly if an actual show of strength was made. Won't happen of course, due to the difficulties of coordinating a campaign of suppression in such a decentralised country, and, of course, I imagine that it would be illegal.

But more to the point, yes, I suppose there are a lot of bodies out on the streets, but these people still form a tiny minority of the population, even of those of did not vote for Trump. Politicians shouldn't get jumpy because the usual communist (and a smattering of 'concerned citizens', ie pretentious nebbishes) rabble are out in public places causing trouble. This is (well, will be, I'm sure, in due course) a police matter, not one that requires any sort of political response.

Spoken like a true fascist.

Some losers are wailing but the Ban is popular with the People.

The Jan. 30-31 poll found that 49 percent of American adults said they either "strongly" or "somewhat" agreed with Trump's order, while 41 percent "strongly" or "somewhat" disagreed and another 10 percent said they don't know.

Only in your own mind.  As the article states, the country is divided on the issue as it is on everything else.

Not my mind. It's not my poll.

It is amazing how things are, uh, 'divided' when one side wins, but if one were to flip the margins, few would be saying anything about, uh, 'divided' if the other side won.

Of course it's not your poll, thank god.  It's your interpretation of it that's in question.
