> Nope... impeachment... Lotsa work to do... No non-violent resistance that has mobilized more than 3.5% of the population has failed in the last 100-ish years. On Jan 21st 1-1.5% of the US population participated.
While there certainly was a large anti-Trump sentiment at the Woman's March, there were a plethora of issues that brought all those people together. To imply that all who participated want a Trump impeachment is not accurate.
- gibrown 10y ago> To imply that all who participated want a Trump impeachment is not accurate Really? Were you at one? I can't speak for everywhere, but the 100k folks I marched with in Denver seemed pretty gung-ho on the idea. Most common theme on signs I saw was something to the effect of: "This cat has claws" (tried to clean it up a bit ;) ) Also, currently 40% of registered voters support impeaching Trump: http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/317627-poll-4-in-10-back-impeaching-trump http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/317627-poll-4-in-... Ultimately though that data is about what percentage you can mobilize and activate. Just answering a survey isn't enough.

- gibrown 10y agoI'm surprised that was your impression then, but I certainly could be projecting my own biases.
