After shouting, seek the facts
The many marches and meetings going on – pro and con, whatever the issues – are signs of life, lives engaged in the affairs of this country.
This is good, whether you agree or disagree with a specific effort. But keep in mind that all meetings and marches focus on one small part of complex issues, ignoring the whole, ignoring negative consequences.
This simplifies issues, directs the attention of the crowd, provides excitement and immediate satisfaction; whereas, reasoned and thoughtful debate is boring, demands long-term attention and work.
News agencies love marches and meetings for the same reasons; there is nothing to attract the interest of viewers (and advertisers) in quiet, thoughtful (boring) meetings.
