Okay. Great.
Nothing. Shaming people is the only solution. We must ensure that the incoming status-quo president, who will continue the same neoliberal policies of his predecessors, is defeated in four years by some other status-quo candidate, who will also continue the same neoliberal policies of his or her predecessors.
We should not protest. And if we can leave the country we should, because the less resistance the better.
So, asking what the protesters hope to accomplish is "shaming"? Wow. Not even an attempt at an actual answer.
I don't care if people take to the streets merely to vent their feelings, as long as they don't cause any damage.
But if a protest is to be an actual movement, instead of being merely a primal scream, it needs to have, at a minimum, an actual objective, together with some idea of how that objective is to be accomplished.
For example, in my state, there was a proposition on the ballot to amend the state constitution to require photo ID to vote. It passed by a wide margin. I'm sure that I don't have to explain to you how that works to suppress the votes of the segments of the population who don't have a driver license.
There is going to be a legal challenge to this amendment. If it fails, which I suspect it will in full or in part, since it will be heard by what will be a conservative SCOTUS, there will need to be a lot of feet on the ground to help people get the photo ID that they will need in order to vote. That's one of the organizations I signed up with as a volunteer.
Of course, we could all just go out and protest instead; I'm sure that would be so much more effective.
