We have a political party that is anti-democracy. R's.

We have a corrupt supreme court. (They have been corrupt for decades)

We have unqualified judges across the nation. (appointed under trump)

The justice system failed to stop trump. (trump is officially deemed above the law)

He faced zero consequences for trying to overthrow the government.

The losing political party compared him to Hitler but they shake hands, smile, and vow to work with him.

I fail to see how a 3 hour march, after the fact, will change anything.
