In the United States, so much has happened in the past few days. For those of you who are outside of our borders or are living under a rock, allow me to keep you updated. On Friday, January 20th, at noon, President Obama and his VP Joe Biden passed the torch of presidency over to businessman Donald Trump and his VP Mike Pence.

This has created a stir in the US for many reasons. First, Donald Trump has absolutely no political experience. He did, however, run a successful hotel chain. He hosted a TV show called The Apprentice, which essentially challenged average citizens to compete in business challenges to win a million dollars. He also started a celebrity version, which involved networking and charity funding. This show has since been handed over to California’s ex-Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Another reason that people don’t like him is his lack of filter. A lot of people don’t possess a filter, no biggie, right? Wrong. Here are a few of his most famous offensive quotes. He is a confessed sexual assailant and his lack of compassion lost the popular vote from the young voter population.

Despite all of this, he defeated his opponent, Hillary Clinton. He won the electoral vote, but she won the popular vote. (If you need a refresher on how the Electoral College system works, here you go.)

Following the Constitution, on Friday, January 20th, 2017, he was sworn in as the president of the United States of America.

Cool, right? A wealthy businessman to help stop outsourcing and get us out of 20 trillion dollars in debt while maybe offending people in the process.

On Saturday, perhaps one of the largest demonstrations in history took place, known as the Women’s March. An estimated 3.3 Million people marched to show their dislike for Donald Trump, or, their like for women? Their thoughts on abortion? Pro-Gender expression? That’s the thing, everyone that I talk to has a different answer.

Big deal, they all march for their own reasons! But hardly, as the woman’s front is not united.

Stereotypical, Americans are stupid. Yeah. Ha. Ha. Ha. I haven’t heard that joke before. But this is something new. This is a whole new level of groupthink… on both sides.

Upon visiting the Women’s March on Washington official site, it seems as if they advocate for essentially everyone except for straight, Christian, white men.

It sounds GREAT. But we live in America. There’s no legal oppression. They want to show the “new officials that we want our rights”, but legally, WE ALREADY HAVE THE RIGHTS!

We have Worker Protection laws. Anti-discriminatory laws for businesses. Public schools are there for free and for all. No one is allowed to be denied into a college/program due to their religion, gender, or race. We have political parties so that you can easily define which side you fall on (it’s worth noting that the majority of the marchers are Democrats and Socialists, and the ones nodding their heads in shame are Republicans {what Donald Trump is} and Libertarians).

If you want to protest to the government, protest legal issues. Legally, we are not being denied anything. True, these laws and regulations may not always be enforced, but even still, that is an issue of the local office/agency, since checks and balances on a national standard keep our government fair.

They march for abortion, yet it is already legal (Roe V. Wade). I do hope, however, that it soon becomes a state decision. If you don’t want a baby, maybe try not to keep the future “nasty” and your contraceptives will not fail (again, I know that consensual sex is not the only way that children are conceived, but for the vast majority of cases it is.)

They marched for gay rights, but surprise, that’s already legal, too! If you want to protest oppression because of your sexuality, protest in your community or in your school. Pro-tip, Southern states and Midwestern states are more likely to be conservative and not approve of gay rights, and if that bothers you, go up North or to the West Coast.

I’m rambling. As always. I always ramble. But, here’s my final point. These marches which are grasping our nation by the throat, yet they march to the wrong people for things that are already legal. They march, yet they do not know where they are going. Groupthink is dangerous, but groupthink without direction is deadly, both to those marching and those on the sidelines.
