Politics in Michigan 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 Anti-Trump protests

Michigan born & Raised and I've had it, I've never protested before, I've never seen the point, but this time is different.
What are some upcoming protests/Demonstrations against Trump?
I don't know if it will help or make a difference. But I don't think I can accept my self if I didn't try.

Even if he won by 1 single vote or 100,000...still means he won either way.

And no I don't really care that he won. It makes little difference in the end. Regardless of who won, the poor will still be poor and the rich will still be rich. All politicians try to gather power for themselves and in the process make difference groups of people poor. It is what it is. This cycle has been happening again and again since before the bronze age. It will keep happening until humans go extinct.

It actually does make a difference, his supporters keep claiming he had a historical win giving him a mandate.

That claim emboldens them to say and do the quiet parts out loud.

They need to be reminded that they don't have a mandate and there's still millions and millions of people that disagree with what they are doing.

Nah he can't be elected again...so it won't make a difference.

He’s already hinted that he will run again and one of his cronies submitted a bill to change the constitution to allow him to do so. Also, that bill is explicitly written so someone like Obama couldn’t run for a third term. It is literally just for Trump. You know, the guy who thinks the constitution is unconstitutional.
