There's a drastically new protest ritual underway. Of course, protest has been as American as apple pie since the dawn of the Republic. No disagreement there from "decent" people. How better for the public to vibrantly exercise its First Amendment right to convey its views to potentially recalcitrant executives or legislators? Strident protesters, even better—especially if the president is at the White House, or the Congress is in session at the Capitol. Let them know exactly your feelings, en masse! It's America!
