Reading about the Women’s March on Washington is enough to give you goosbumps.
More than 200,000 men and women are coming together for a peaceful protest near the Capitol Building in Washington DC on Saturday, the day after the inauguration of US President Elect Donald Trump. It’s a moment in history; something you would one day tell your grandchildren. I was there.
Here’s what you need to know about it:
The aim of the march
“To send a bold message to our new government on their first day in office, and to the world that women’s rights are human rights,” the website reads.
“We stand together, recognising that defending the most marginalised among us is defending all of us.”
The participants
A diverse, very diverse, group of men and women speaking out for the marginalised corners of society. This includes women; the LGBTIQ community; immigrants; Muslims; people of all ethnicities; native people; people with disabilities; and survivors of sexual assault.

Yeah, I'll go with the hypocritical or even dumb.
Only message this is sending is that so called progressives still can't accept the democratic process.
Yet this is what the "progressives" were saying the Trump supporters would do, WHEN they lost.
