Our future protests need to be much more targeted

The "No Kings" rallies were wonderful and well attended, but unfortunately had little consequence. We need to be explicit in our rallies, calling for Trump's impeachment and/or the 25th Amendment to be invoked. Public outrage, and a lot of it, is what is needed now.

This is not Trump's country, it is our country.

We just can't wait until the next election. The damage he has done in less than a year will take years to undo. He has to go now.

Leaders follow when the people lead.
