Perhaps you could explain to me what the objective of these protests was and what they accomplished.

Due respect George, I'm not going to do that, because I don't think you actually want to know why folks are protesting. I have linked no less than 50 news articles in my Google doc, and they can explain fully what Americans reasons were protesting about.

I'll also say this: most of the people out protesting yesterday were under no delusions that this would accomplish something. They went anyway.

Your response just confirms my opinion that these protests accomplish nothing and that the people who participate are just wasting their time and energy. Perhaps it makes them feel good about themselves and gives them a way to vent their anger and act out their frustration, sort of like a very organized temper tantrum at best.

Did my response confirm your opinion, or does your refusal to consider the 50 plus news articles that I linked? Confirming your opinion? Perhaps you're drawing the conclusions you want to draw.

I quote one Brie McReynolds: “most of the people out protesting yesterday were under no delusions that this would accomplish something. They went anyway.”

My sentiments exactly.

Your pompous, verbose exercise in pretentious hystrionics is unpersuasive.
