[mordecaii83]

Is there anywhere we can find a list of protests planned? I want to march to show my support.

Oh no. He got his password back.

You know maybe it was being held like some kind of bet. Kind of like a diablos thing. Conway wouldn't give him back the password if he lost.

Get over it guys. /s

Professional protesters! Incited by the media!

I suppose he really didn't pivot on election night. He's going to keep up the tinpot dictator-style anti-facts conspiracy-theory routine.

Trump supporters, because I know you're here: if you buy into his rhetoric, if you accept it unchallenged, you are no better than the worst of his fans.

professional rioters, that's his excuse? lol

Not like you needed more proof he's a fascist, but here it is.

 

[Ryzaki009]

Incredible. He's back on twitter?

Also we're allowed not to like you Trump. You lying snake oil salesman.

I know another is planned in Vancouver this Saturday at 6 in-front of the Art Gallery

I live in Indianapolis unfortunately, so my hopes aren't very high that there will be a protest. Still, at least the city did vote Hillary even if the state voted Trump.

Did a bit of research, looks like there's one Saturday at 5PM at the Statehouse. Anyone in Indiana willing to stand up to Trump and what he believes in, please show up!

his latest tweet is fucking terrifying.

A true president-elect would never call these protests "unfair." You won. It's done. What happened to unity?

How weak is this man?

A good president elect would release a statement to try and calm people down not incite them further

Holy shit. The article he chose for that tweet was the one about the shooting near the protests. This guy is fucking scum.

I want Alex Jones in the mix. Bring him in.

Yup. I'm waiting for this happen.

CNN is now "projecting" Trump might win the popular vote too.. would this change anything for the protests?

Where does it say that he might win the pop vote?

She's winning by 400k now

 

[QaaQer]

Probably been answered but, what are they protesting exactly?

 

[yanipheonu]

Racism, sexism, Trump being an asshole, discontent at the electoral college.

Let's be honest: no matter who won, there would have been protests.

No doubt. That's what happens when both sides villify each other I guess.

Were there big protests with Bush I or II, Obama, Clinton, Reagan, or Carter?

here's one of the "law & order" people who also was invited by Trump to speak at the RNC & cheered that police officers got acquitted from the murder of Freddie Gray

 

[Host Samurai]

Can you imagine if the protests got so big that the country shut down? That's how you make an impact. These protests need to happen in Washington when he gets in the office

There is a plan to surround the Capitol during the inauguration and completely drown out the proceedings. I hope this builds to where we have millions of people protesting at once.

Dude I would be so happy about this

He's also on Trump's list for Secretary of Homeland Security

I doubt this will keep up (though I would be fine with it if it kept going). The internet has killed the attention span of people and it'll just be wasier to go after someone saying something wrong on twitter instead.

The last big protest that I remember was the 00s when the world came together to protest the Iraq invasion. A lot of good that did.

Hold me GAF. I'm so afraid.

Local news getting ready to talk to about the protests in downtown los angeles. Lots of marchers same as last night.

ETA- anchors say there are TWO protests downtown.

He is the next president of the United States and it is too late to change that now

I want to show the rest of the world that at least half of us are not fine with him.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Don't really follow your logic

Him being elected was a terrible thing.
The impression it gives the world of the US is appalling
But I think it's important to focus on mitigating the damage he does in the future instead of dwelling on the past
He is the next president of the United States and it is too late to change that now

I think a good first step would be protesting the electoral college instead of him in general for now

Not my president.

Organized protests and opposition is how the tea party got behind candidates for midterm elections in 2010.

Go protest, go vote, and stomp this piece of shit and his deplorables.

The Portland protests have become overrun by our local anarchist groups and are now pretty much a riot. Broken windows everywhere. The riot police are out now.

They were passing by my work at about the time it was declared a riot and my employees were extremely upset they weren't being sent home. This is really just a lovely bunch of fun.

I've no real issues with protesting (don't disrupt mass transit!) but this riot behavior is just stupid and it looks like it'll continue for now.

 

[Naudi]

Yeah shit is going down in portland. Pretty sure one of them took a bat to the reporters equipment. Lots of broken windows.

this is fucking stupid.

hurting small businesses to protest your new fascist leader just does NOT make sense.

i'm kind of worried the USA is going to turn into IRA era UK - bombs in bins and shit.

i just don't see this stopping any time soon, and can only imagine it growing more severe.

the country had just started getting its shit together with regards to civil rights, and Trump is proposing a cabinet of historical-level evil motherfuckers.

if i were a citizen of your country, there's no telling what i'd do to stop this shit from going down...

 

[distantmantra]

Is it the anarchist group from Eugene? They always come up to Seattle for the May Day protests and cause mayhem and make the real protestors look bad.

 

[Dishwalla]

Yeah it's time to call it a night in PDX.

 

[norm9]

They should go to the myriad of stripclubs and mourn there instead.

Can someone give me a rundown, I live in a REALLY red state, and all over my facebook they are berating the left for rioting. Is there actual rioting going on, I've only seen protests?

There are riots in Portland ATM not sure about anywhere else

If you are conservative, any gathering with a substantial amount of brown people is a riot.

Seemingly there's something in Portland, but it has been peaceful everywhere else.
