Thank you Susan Desmarais and others for organizing. I share this with anyone who might identify with it as much as I do. "I listened as they called my President a Muslim. I listened as they called him and his family a pack of monkeys. I listened as they said he wasn't born here. I watched as they blocked every single path to progress that they could. I saw the pictures of him as Hitler. I watched them shut down the government and hurt the entire nation twice. I watched them turn their backs on every opportunity to open worthwhile dialog. I watched them say that they would not even listen to any choice for Supreme Court no matter who the nominee was. I listened as they openly said that they will oppose him at every turn. I watched as they did just that. I listened. I watched. I paid attention. Now, I'm being called on to be tolerant. To move forward. To denounce protesters. To "Get over it." To accept this... I will not. I will do my part to make sure this great American mistake becomes the embarrassing footnote of our history that it deserves to be. I will do this as quickly as possible every chance I get. I will do my part to limit the damage that this man can do to my country. I will watch his every move and point out every single mistake and misdeed in a loud and proud voice. I will let you know in a loud voice every time this man backs away from a promise he made to them. Them. The people who voted for him. The ones who sold their souls and prayed for him to win. I will do this so that they never forget. And they will hear me. They will see it in my eyes when I look at them. They will hear it in my voice when I talk to them. They will know that I know who they are. They will know that I know what they are. Do not call for my tolerance. I've tolerated all I can. Now it's their turn to tolerate ridicule. Be aware, make no mistake about it, every single thing that goes wrong in our country from this day forward is now Trump's fault just as much as they thought it was Obama's. I find it unreasonable for them to expect from me what they were entirely unwilling to give." Author unknown.

Barbara Welsh for President!

I have little to add to Barbara Welsh's excellent comment. I was at the Oakland, California Women's March today (around 84,000, per the OPD) - it was wonderful. Want to stop the fascists? Google The Indivisible Guide and read it. Then join a local Indivisible group (or start one). Or Organizing for America. Send a donation to a nonprofit media outlet (Mother Jones, Propublica, the Nation). I'm so glad the Island represented, as they say. I clicked on the Gazette website today to check for that. Lovely. Good job, former neighbors.

Right on!

I'm a former Cape Codder living in China. As far as it is from MV, it's not far enough away from the fascist, racist, sexist, self-involved, xenophobic, divisive liar named Trump and his right winged Cabinet that will serve the needs of but a few Americans, isolate us from the 21st Century world, tell us what a hoax climate change is, stop believing in science (unless they need medical care), remove healthcare, reinforce the military-industrial complex, ignore nuclear proliferation, damage our credibility, kiss up to the criminal Putin and push China farther away instead of promoting a solid working relationship with them. Here comes fascism. Start the Revolution or say goodbye to freedom.

It amazes me how people won't give the man a chance. Grow up will you. I don't remember many protests 8 years ago. America gave him a chance 8 years ago and decided they couldn't live with the same type of values in the oval office so they spoke and elected someone else. Lets stop the protesting and see where it takes us. You might like it.

These people are exercising their rights which is great and a lot of us served and fought and died so we have these rights. But a lot of these people protesting Trump are afraid they are going to lose their free ride AKA WELFARE. Trump was born with a silver spoon, but he always worked. Maybe not real work, but he always worked, and millions of freeloaders think they are deserving of a free ride and if they are not legitimately disabled, that ride may be coming to an end

A man who brags about sexually assaulting women, bullies people and denigrates the disabled doesn't deserve a chance.

I cannot understand what is being protested. The guy entered into an election and won the election. Good, bad, or ugly, he is our president. Should I now rescind my vote for the satisfaction of a herd of misguided Women?

How come pro-life women were not welcome at this protest? Tolerance? What a bunch of phonies.

As citizens we all have the right to freedom of speech and to protest. The citizens at Four Corners were not there because they are losing their free ride but because they have a voice. They had something to say because they have the right to their beliefs. As far as the remark earlier that, good, bad or ugly he is our President .... isn't that a cowboy movie? And that herd of misguided women was over a million. And they were supported by many men. And for the record you can't rescind your vote. Because if you could you would be shadowed by millions to reverse the current President.

"If ever the time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin" Samuel Adams 1722-1803

Right on Vineyard women, men and children! No surprise you were holding our rights down and taking us higher! My feet marched in NYC, but my soul was with you on that magical island.
