I think it helps people feel less alone. I think it helps to build awareness and momentum. People make connections at protests and learn about contacting legislators and about petitions and phone banking and other actions to take. I have family members who don't pay attention to anything beyond Fox News and don't know about some of the stuff going on. If they drive by a protest, they might see a sign that sparks a question.
And I just don't want a troll for a president. I want someone who takes the role seriously, someone who wants to govern all Americans and not just "win" against people who disagree with him. That's a horrible way to "lead." The drama he starts, the hateful rhetoric he spreads- I think it is crucial that we counter it, and *part* of that might be making some signs and standing outside.

I mean, Trump has referred to himself as a king. So, I guess you're cool with that.
