Removing Trump should be a process of hard work and cold calculation.  Too many young people and even adults have little understanding of how government really works.  The focus should be on regaining state and local offices and power to limit the ability of the executive branch to push an agenda.  It's hard work, and it not instant gratification, but that's how change happens.  

Also, I'm a bit tired of the instant reaction to his tweets and actions.  If people sound the alarm every single time he gets diarrhea of the mouth, then it loses it's potency and effectiveness.  Let him have the rope to hang himself. Let him gut everything.  Let him do everything he says he'll do that sounds awful.  He tweets because he loves the reaction.  Stop giving it to him for ****'s sake.  Goes for the media, too.  Just stop even talking about what he says on social media.  He'd die inside.

Just wait and let the process play out.  The public is fickle and the pendulum always swings the other way.

I have read that these actions are making it harder for the liberals to unseat the conservatives; as they are going further away from the middle ground.

Matter of Fact the women's march that was to be inclusive of All Women, was not:

Organizers of the anti-Trump “Women’s March on Washington” have dissolved its partnership with a pro-life feminist group following an online outcry from pro-choice activists.

Organizers had advertised the event — which is expected to draw more than 100,000 attendees — as “inclusive,” but are now saying that inclusion doesn’t extend to women who don’t support abortion.

New Wave Feminists, a pro-life feminist organization, had been listed as a partner for the march, but organizers are now saying that was an “error.”
