I've heard that the protest doesn't mean the same thing anymore.  People against it say that these guys aren't about equal rights.  They may be right. 

Unfortunately, Trump has now made it about free speech.  If the president demands punishment for those who speak or act as he doesn't like, within the law, where does it stop? Make fun of his hair? Don't stand when his car drives by? What about his cabinet, should we stand for them too?  Does it trickle down to governors,then mayors, then city workers? Where does the command for obedience and respect stop?
