YOU'RE SO VAIN. I BET YOU THINK THIS MARCH IS ABOUT YOU. (SIGN)



This sign is a turn of phrase from Carly Simon's song, "You're so Vain." The tune itself is about a self-absorbed partner for whom it's said he's been so vain, he actually thought the song was about him. As for this sign, trump is the self-absorbed "partner" and this sign presents people who feel like they don't have a voice against politicians who do not agree in what they're fighting for but this gives them an opportunity to share their voice. The words of this sign were something from a popular song that many people could relate to and link it to back to our government with meaning.
