Coming from another guy living in Easter Europe (Romania)... one of the things that seemed to me very wrong about some of the recent US protests was the imbalance between participation and motivation/demands. You get millions on streets to protest on the day Trump took office, to ask for.... WHAT? The guy is democratically-elected. He made no huge mistake at that point. Apparently they were "supporting women" or "anti-discrimination" or something. I get it, you don't like him - but this was just wasted effort. No, it was worse than wasted effort - it discredited the idea that millions on the people on the streets would mean something. It would be one thing if millions came out after the announcement of the muslim ban, to protest against THAT. You don't protest against a person, that is ineffective - you protest against policy changes. If you tell someone "I will never vote YOU"... well, ok, what can he do? Nothing. if you say, "I will never vote those who support this policy!", then politicians actually have a choice to back off
