With all the protests against President Trump going on, there comes many different opinions and interpretations. Some say that the protests are pointless and people need to move on and accept the fact that Donald Trump is our President. However, others think that everyone has the right to voice their own opinion on the matter and they should continue to fight for what they believe in.

Although there is nothing we can do about the fact that Donald Trump is our President (which is what most people use to argue against the protests), I don’t think they are useless. If someone feels strongly enough about something, they have every right to speak up. They should not be forced into silence just because their protests will not take Trump out of office. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and has the right to use their voice to express it.

For example, the women’s march is a very controversial topic that includes many different viewpoints. People will argue that the women are marching for no reason because they already have rights, but the point of the marches was not to proclaim that women have absolutely no rights. They were trying to express the point that they deserve equal rights in all areas and that they will not let anything come in between the rights they already obtain.

It is understandable that some of the protests get out of hand, and that is why a lot of people are anti-protest. It is commonly misunderstood that all protesters go to the extreme of smashing cars and destroying property. That is not the case, though. A lot, if not most, of the protesters intentions are completely peaceful. They simply just want to voice their opinions and express their wants.
