If only more american "liberals" had spoken out against their president waging war in Iraq, Syria and Libya; as fiercely as many of them are speaking out against their new president simply banning those countries' citizens from entering the US...

Who knows... I guess we can only now imagine what could've been.

The action we take now is so we don't have to say "if only"
That's one way to downplay the tens of thousands of refugees displaced by the rebels the Obama administration armed, which, by the way, caused both Brexit to win and secured Trump's seat.

Good thing the Internet really went to town talking about how the left needs to be more introspective after Trump's win, it seems we all learned from that.

Except now it may be too late, which is why when you have a President that is of your own party, you protest their terrible policies so they will (hopefully) listen. Presidents do not tend to listen to the opposition protestors (and that's all the more true when said President's party has the House, Senate, and Supreme Court).
