When people of like mind gather together there's power and energy that if channeled properly can bring about good. They draw strength and focus from being with people who think like them.

Stephan King, the author, has also trolled #45 and there were men at the woman's march plus other men who happily stayed at home to babysit so their wives could go to the march. So many young people grew up with J.K. Rowling that her speaking up matters, I think.
