How embarrassing.
 
Here is the thing about protests.
Anyone can join them.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Trump supporters join these things and stir up trouble, vandalism, etc. just to get the protest declared as a riot.

Finally. I live in Eugene, OR. In Oregon we vote by mail. This year we had the lowest voter turn out in a long time. It was over 70%. Oregon usually gets a >90% vote percentage.
I think that says something about how unenthusiastic people were about Hillary.

I love how they are smiling like they are normal.

This almost feels unreal, like an enemy faction in a fallout game or something.

I talked to a girl who was kind of raised by a biggoted father. She realized when talking to me that she was basically being brainwashed. I literally did or said nothing and she brought this up to me, being black and not fitting the stereotype shoved down her throat , that was enough to make her realize that it was a bunch of BS.
 
He won a democratic election that there is no evidence he rigged it since he was not the opinion-makers' choice. I'm all for protesting detrimental policies but I'm not going to protest a president-elect. Before he won, when people who wouldn't vote for Clinton were being called immature, I said I was willing to accept whatever result. I still feel that way.

As another thread emphasized, the Clinton campaign and the DNC (one and the same?) helped elevate Trump for what they believed would have been Clinton's gain. My personal opinion, is that she's not an appropriate choice for President either given all that has come out over the last several months. So I'll live with America's choice; the decision to put up with Trump rather than be successfully manipulated by the Clinton machine.

I don't believe everyone who voted for Trump liked him just as many people who didn't like Clinton voted for her. Perhaps they were just scared shitless of Clinton being President when she was so careless, at best, as Secretary of State.

OTOH, I understand the concerns about Trump but I also think there's overreaction.

I love this. seeing these fuckers who I watched supporting and engaging in hate and fear-mongering post, I can't decide what makes me madder:

"Why can't people just calm down and be nice and civil to one another"
"Trump never said X"
"We never protested like this"
"God will take care of us"
or "He won't do any of those things anyway"

His already-in-action climate policy alone is worthy of mass protests.

if you're willing to give Trump the benefit of the doubt after all that he said and done just this last year, then you can more than give Hillary her proper due and at least admit she is more than qualified to be president.

I can admit she's a more experienced politician.

But she said things as a Goldwater girl that she later regretted.
She did and said things as First Lady that she later regretted.
She did things as Senator that she later regretted.
She did things as Secretary of State that she later regretted.
I'm certain she did things in this losing campaign that she now regrets.
What would she have done as President?
It's fine to admit errors but please get some good judgement and stop making them.

I mourned a loong time ago.
People who were putting hope in Clinton just did.
People who believed some of Trump's more grandiose campaign promises will be next.

When those people realize they've been duped, they should honestly be protesting too.

NPR had good story today talking to people in the Rust belt and their views and why they went trump, basically of course coal jobs are going away and way of life there would cause empty towns. But they were all like, well now we await him to bring back the coal jobs and NPR was like, actually nah that might not happen. Other guys voted him in because he had no political office, but if he embraced the elites in washington then it was over.

Lets just hope they dont double down on stupid when they realize they got duped.

Can I get a link to this? I'd love to hear.
 
Someone just told me that liberals are "lighting people on fire and killing them" but the "liberal media isn't reporting it" like okay dude lmao

Clicked on a Facebook news stream for it and the comments were fucking horrifying. Calling the cops pussies for not gunning them down...so much calls to just out right kill the protesters and blaming the mayor and the pd for encouraging them.

The police presence is about what I would have expected. Last night the anarchists were running rampant destroying everything they could while the police kept a distance and let them march.

The extremism on all sides right now is a scary thing. The comments everywhere are protesting and the anarchists and destructive assholes are just as bad.
 
There has been a mobile Trump protest in San Francisco the past few hours. THey are on bikes/skates/boards all decked out in glowing lights and are riding the town starting mini-concerts playing some good music.

Did people protest obama too?

Not significantly in the way these are going, but Obama didn't promise mass deportations, didn't promise to ban an entire ethno-religious group, didn't believe in global warming, and didn't threatened to jail his political opponent. Obama wasn't elected on the back of a destroyed Voting Rights Act and massive coordinated voter suppression efforts in battleground states either.


Just to stop any false equivalency here.
