I would have **loved** to attend a protest! Good on you guys who did! The initial estimates said approx. 5 million protestors. Not sure how many there actually were. I did hear that "hundreds" attended the DC parade (if that's accurate) so there is that for contrast.

I live in a small university town in one of the reddest states in the country. My wife and I walked over to the protest that was held in the park that's a few of blocks from our house. I hate the bombast and the crowds of these things, but really felt like I needed to be there to support the effort. With hundreds of people, it was surprisingly well attended. I wish I thought that it would make a difference.
It’s worth trying, at any rate. I understand your feelings about it. I have been pushed to the point that I feel I must. This was my first in-person protest.
