Here’s one gauge of the rekindled American enthusiasm for political
protest: Sales of poster boards, markers and other sign-making
supplies jumped more than 30 percent in the week before Donald Trump’s
inauguration and the Jan. 21 Women’s March, according to data from the
NPD Group, which tracks sales of consumer goods.

That week, Americans spent an estimated $6 million on supplies—not
insignificant considering that many of the individual items cost $1 or
less.
