As we know, there is what is described to be a large women's protest in the nation's capitol today, Washington, DC after and about the Presidential inauguration yesterday.

So here's the question. Let's put this in perspective.
When was the last time a newly-elected world leader, let alone our own newly inaugurated president, just put into office, was protested around the nation? More to the point, when was the last time a newly-elected national leader was ever protested across the globe, around the world?
Never?
Would that be never?
Isn't that instructive? Doesn't that tell us something?
Anything?
Shouldn't it?
