Protest Everything

They don't know what they're against:
Wielding signs with slogans like "Stop destroying America," "Hands off our Social Security," "Resist Fascism," "Tariffs are taxes" and "Honk if you love democracy," these protesters came armed with plenty of outrage but very little actual information. I'd like to ask the participants, "What are you protesting?" But plenty of independent journalists actually did, and the answers they received provided little insight. It's hard to know what's more inscrutable: the number of protesters who, when asked, have no idea what they are out there opposing, or those with deep convictions who cannot point to any real evidence for their beliefs. President Donald Trump's unprecedented multipartisan coalitions (voters and members of his administration) and the policy positions he's advancing have not only rendered the conventional wisdom about American political divisions obsolete; they have exposed the absurdity and hypocrisy among his opponents on the left and right.
If it's good for America, it must be bad...
