112. My point was, you probably won't see the protests on TV.

1.2 Million people protested in DC in april and barely made a dent in coverage.

I think the idea that the protests are going to affect large numbers of voters, pro or con, is ridiculous. And if they do, it's not going to be because of what people are or aren't wearing. Therefore I think the premise behind this thread is, essentially, absurd.

Should people protest? God knows there's enough to protest about this administration. I think breaking things, stopping traffic, that kind of thing, are counter-productive and I can see how they play into the hands of the GOP. But, again, odds are the media isn't going to give the protests the time of day, anyway.. That's just my hunch.

That said, your post is funny. Good one.
