I've been watching an ABC News livestream of the Women's March on Washington, and it's exhilarating. Hundreds of thousands of women and men have gathered in Washington D.C. to affirm that women's rights are human rights. Rally speakers have been electrifying, reminding the world of the struggles and victories of LGBTQ women, African American women, immigrant women, sexual assault survivors, and more.
Predictably, the Religious Right is bitter about the march. Already, Religious Right figures are posting acidic tweets on Twitter.
This is a #FakeWomensMarch. They have excluded all women who aren't radical pro-abortion feminist ideologues. That's a FRACTION of all women

Just walked around DC. Lots of vulgarity on the signs for the Women's March. And bitter anti-Trump vitriol. All the women I love disapprove.

Anybody know what those feminists are yammering about in DC?

I'm happy to see democracy in action with this women's march, but don't be fooled. It's a sore loser march that only happened b/ Trump won.

I feel sorry for all the ham and cheese that won't get made into sandwiches while all those women are marching.

They may be women but they're not ladies. Madonna's mic cut - too many F-bombs. https://t.co/O7xaBUrceT

Why do people holding "Love Trumps Hate" signs look so mean? No love or joy on faces. Are they angry and unhappy or just constipated? #MAGA

To all the women marchers....if truly concerned re women's rights --head to the Saudi Embassy; they could use the message!

I forgot about the #WomensMarch today because I was busy actually doing things.

Women's March protests democratic transfer of power & the rts of 65 mill Americans. Remember Brown shirts? This is the Brown Blouses March.

Let the right-wingers wallow in their bitterness. This is a historic day. Women are making their voices heard, and it's beautiful.
Amen! It is exhilarating and beautiful. And it's so telling that the only response from the right is hate and derision.
ReplyDeleteI still think this debacle of an election is the last gasp of the far right. Here's hoping that the damage the GOP and Trump would inflict on this country if given free reign will be limited.
Agi Tater -- The oceans of humanity at the D.C. march and its sister marches took my breath away. Today gave me new hope.
DeleteEven if the far right's demise is impending, I worry about how much damage they'll do before they fall. We must be vigilant.
