nice username.

I don't think it's the end. People were inspired yesterday, the crowds realized they have the numbers and the passion to fight back. People were taking action, finding their local organizations, learning how to inform their representatives, and even planning the next protests already.

We're going to see more and more of this.

We will also see more "Alternative Facts" and PR campaigns from the White House, closely following Dugin's handbook (dismiss, distract, distort, and dismay).

Time is the enemy of this movement, if Trump manages to bring any sort of economic change to the poorest parts of the country, this "movement" doesnt stand a chance.
That is a big, big if. Especially considering everything he's proposed is antiquated, disproven economics when it comes to having direct economic benefits for poor communities.
I agree with you, however it is a hypothetical statement, if he does do it, do you agree the opposition is toast?
If he manages to do a complete 180° and be someone completely antithetical to the person he's been thus far?

Yes, the opposition is toast if that happens.
