It's going to be daily outrage and protests for the next four years.
What a time to be a leftist. Democrats will be hailing Trump for revitalizing their base, lol.
Via Katrina vanden Heuval, from the Washington Post, "Shock. Outrage. Resistance. Repeat. Is this the new normal in Trump’s America?":

In Donald Trump’s America, there may be no more weekends — just an incessant cycle of shocks, of actions and reactions. For the second weekend in a row, Friday to Sunday was wall to wall with resistance and outrage.Yes. The left is all about perpetual outrage. Meanwhile, the rest of us go about our lives while the White House restores are sovereignty.
On Friday, President Trump signed an executive order banning people from seven nations in the Middle East and Africa from entering the United States.
On Saturday, protesters began heading to the airports to welcome international travelers, some of whom were detained for hours without access to lawyers.
On Sunday, thousands pushed peacefully against the fences around the White House in protest of Trump’s order. The signs spelled out embarrassment and resolve — and a cheeky self-awareness that only Washington can muster.
“SHAME ON AMERICA.”
“DEATH TO FASCISM.”
“PROTEST IS THE NEW BRUNCH.”
Is this what we’re in for, even on weekends? Will every news alert force us to ask ourselves who we are or send us out into the streets in a spontaneous counterattack?
Sheesh.
(Still more.)
