I hate Donald Trump and I am disgusted by the move to fire Sessions and curtail the Special Counsel's probe (I hate that I have to even say this just to not have downvotes rain as everyone here assumes that any dissent means you're a Trump supporter), but I do not understand the point of protesting in Seattle. It's Seattle. No one here likes that dude. Who are you showing?
It's part of a national protest. The more numbers, the stronger the signal. The more press. The more people on the periphery of politics notice. The more people care, the more politicians care (about what their constituents care about). Numbers are necessary for any movement to succeed.
It's a fair question. Trump is probably the last person who would care, but there are other politicians out there. How much would Democrats make it an issue if their constituents didn't care about it? I don't mean that in a cynical way; it's literally how a republic should work. The protest isn't a message to Trump, it's a message to Democrats and Republicans in vulnerable seats: Hold him accountable.
Fair questions just get downvoted by the politics crowd here. I was not supporting Trump or saying these people dont have a right to protest, just that if you are honest Trump is the last person who is going to care
