Probably not. His misogynist atttitude has enraged Feminists. Don't think Hillary would have done that.

Maybe taken a little longer to get the traction it has now but it still all looks like business as usual. Except... The world used to hate us because we're fat, lazy, spoiled, inconsiderate nationalists but now the president has joined the ranks of the nonsensical masses.

You know... some things cause other things to happen. Good question. If she would of won. He would of knocked her down to get his way.

I believe our profoundly stupid president helped give the #MeToo movement a good push.

I also think Trump and the far right GOP senators and congresspersons actions will help drive more people out to vote to get these people out of office too.

This one of those things where we'll look back and go " A caused B, which led to C and so on."

Historians are going to have lots of material.

But, yes. I expect/hope for a Democratic tidal wave. The Republican brand is very badly damaged. Woman are flocking to run for office. My hope is the blue tide will will sweep a lot of issues that shouldn't even be a "thing" anymore. Racism, abortion, separation of church and state, climate change, health care, education, etc.

And it wouldn't have happened if last November we hadn't found out just how backward and racist we really are.

We can only speculate on these past events.

No way to know how things would have played out "if"

It's possible that he could be the catalyst for a lot of positive changes. He has shown us what we are at our worst and that could inspire us to be our best in the future. Here's hoping we see the start of that with the midterm elections.

Ohh, c'mon. Give your president a little credit. At least he can understand that he's not welcome in the UK.

It has been my experience that movements build over time and the catalyst for this was not Trump at all it has a higher probability of having its roots in the Bill Crosby court case and the outcome of it.

I saw a similar process in reverse after the demise of Joh Bjelke-Petersen (state Premier of Qld, corrupt scumbag). The vociferous civil rights movement that grew in the last years of his rein dwindled after he was ousted. The movements you mention would still be occurring but they would not have the same energy or urgency.

I really don't know but trump obviously has no respect for woman at all.

Perhaps too hit a button for me? Currently it certainly appears to be the leadership direction to blame others for anything they don’t like. Whether these accusations have emboldened the legitimate complaints of victims of power and control thriough abusivine tactics, I am uncertain. Sort of best of times worst of....blame all others, deny all directed at self. One can only hope the leadership will find a solid direction to take us. ????

I doubt it.
Takes a good jolt to be aroused from the trance of apathy.

Feminist or what you called equality movement I presume was conceived long before the time than when his parents had actually planned of conceiving him.

I believe his presidency may strengthen the atheist movement. In order to ensure freedom of and from religion the movement will have to be louder, and more focused and use better strategies than if we had a liberal president that was not concerned with pleasing evangelical voters.

We're just going to have to grab him by his c......I can't believe I went there.

I think 45 brought many issues to light, quickly. The outrage of men in power getting away with such things, things he's guilty of and still getting away with, caused the movement to reach fever-pitch sooner. It would have happened regardless, but would have been more of a slow leak than the giant boom it has been.

It is my hope that men who find themselves in similar situations will also benefit in receiving justice. And that those they accuse will also be booted out, lose their jobs, family, friends, livelihoods, and freedom in the same fashion of justice that's being dispensed now.

I think It's possible. Maybe not with as much fervor?
