If I might say something controversial?

I think that what the Democrats are marching and protesting for is the principled stand. It is the right thing to do as an American.

But I do not know how politically popular it is with the majority of Americans?

But it would not matter if more people voted for a Muslim ban than against it? It is still the right stand to take.

It's probably a good place to start?

America stands for the immigrant and rejects religious tests.

Trump and Bannon and their supporters are not America, they are fascist pigs.

It is best to do what you know is right vs doing what will have the best political outcome. This is right

One important suggestion to ALL protesters is to always use American symbols before they are reclaimed by trump supporters. I learned this from www.learnfromeurope.org

This is very important for America and the world to see that WE are the true american patriots.

The Trumpfans I work with are celebrating the #Muslimban. They believe this is a Christian nation and feel even more kinship with Trump for doing exactly what he said he would do (which, honestly, is fairly unique for a "politician&quot .

I loathe this man with the force of a thousand suns. But Trumpistas are loving it, no matter how unkind or unconstitutional the administration's actions have been.

The only way people like this change their mind is for this moron's incompetence to begin hitting them in the pocketbook.

And another 45% of Adults who didn't vote at all.

Odds are we are fine.
