I think there is scope for something positive to come out of this march. However I recall the last march by women protesting against Trump was turned into a distorted tweet by Trump claiming the women were actually celebrating 1 yr of him being in office. Translation: I have very low expectations of Trump doing anything constructive
Trump isn't going to do F all constructive.. I think we agree on that.
It won't be until him & his crime family and friends have been booted by the feds and the American people that things can begin to change for the better.

~1/3rd of Americans support him. That's not critical mass. More like death throes in terms of support numbers.

Why, not? A large number of politicians are pushing to raise the age to purchase a firearm to 21, including our president. So if we can't trust a young adult to purchase alcohol or a firearm, we shouldn't trust them to vote. Maybe we should reevaluate when one legally becomes an adult?

No one has the Constitutional Right to a public education, but everyone has the Constitutional Right to bear arms. What is the legal basis to abridge a Constitutional Right for a mere tax payer funded service not derived from a Right? The First Amendment in contrast entails almost no limitation on speech, why the different treatment for arms? Would you be so eager to have your speech abridged? Both the 1st and 2nd Amendments protect us from tyrannical government and any restriction on these Rights limits our freedom and defense against a far more menacing threat. For those who want to minimize the likelihood that their children become victims of gun violence in school, enroll them in private school or home school them, because your desire for school safety is an inferior claim to a Constitutional Right.

18 year olds were being sent to fight and die in Vietnam, but couldn't vote till age 21. So the voting age was lowered to 18.
