The Women’s March on Washington has given everyone a sense of power and unification. It did not matter if you were male or female, this march set an important precedent for what is to come in the next four years.
The march produced several important messages that were directed towards President Trump, one of those being that we will not give up the fight. Although you are now in office and became arguably one of the most powerful people in the world, we will not rest and we will not stop fighting.
It was a beautiful message that could be seen on every person’s face who went to march. You could see it on each face of every celebrity that went up to speak and you could feel it during Trump’s inauguration.
The contrast between how embarrassingly empty Trump’s inauguration was; compared to how full and over-capacitated the march became just shows the amount of people that our President has pissed off.
We now have a President, a leader of a nation that holds 318.9 million people; that has openly verbally sexually harassed countless women, and that has outright disrespected women all across the globe, including his own daughter.
As I watched this march on television, I saw multiple people crying and holding each other, as they were supported by others around them. It was then that I realized that the significance of this march shows how nothing will put these people down.
It does not matter what he says, what he does, or what he plans, his campaign has set forward a lot of movements and one of them is the solidarity of this nation as a whole.
I believe that under Trump, to quote Charles Dickens, we will see “the worst of times and the best of times.” By that I mean, we will see the damage he will go on to do; but we will also see the people rebuild something much more grandiose and superior than we could have ever expected or imagined.
I believe that we will come together and show our support for each other and for everyone like protesters did. The magnitude of support showed in several cities all across the country, and even the globe like Paris and London.
I believe and hope that President Trump will not last in office, and that one day he realizes his own stupidity, idiocy, and bigotry before it is too late. I also hope that he finally ignites a fire that he himself will not be able to put out.
I ultimately believe that history repeats itself. If we are pushed hard enough and long enough, we are going to have the revolution that this country obviously needs and hopefully it can finally put all this injustice to rest.
