I can assure you wont have most people around the world thinking Americans are stupid if you had elected Clinton. You'll at least won't have world leaders wondering what the fuck is going on.
I can guarantee, chop and sign that statement.

and this country will always stand divided
I don't see how it changes. Sides are far apart, and the GOP just got rewarded for 6 years of unprecedented obstructionism despite Obama reaching out.
I refuse to normalize the right's bullshit, which legitimizing Trump does. Fuck him and the people that voted for him. Let them come around to progress. We shouldn't need them anyways if more of our side votes.
I'm sure he's gutted.
There's nothing wrong with protesting. People should just make sure they do it peacefully and constructively rather than resorting to bunch of cheap insults at the President and his supporters.
Cool.
I was about to write out a long post of the importance and reasons for protesting. But somehow I don't think you care.

You're talking about the Richard Spencer thing? he coined the term alt right, but I don't think he meant "white nationalists" when he created it.

Mmm.
The joke, of course, is that he's a insecure piece of shit, and his public perception actually cuts him pretty deep, and there's millions of people that feel even more strongly about it than I do, and he knows that.
So you sure told me!
He has nothing to say. Look at every fucking time he spoke to the public or held press conferences? The dude can't even form a fucking sentence to save his life. All he spouts is empty and illogical bullshit.
Oh no, someone think of the poor bigots feelings buuh fucking uuuuuh. Also totally don't insult teh dude that has literally insulted people every day on twitter and on public.
that's rich considering Trump couldn't even say Hillary's name without throwing crooked in front of it.
But whatever, cheap insults are still peaceful. I agree though in principle that cheap insults aren't the way to go even if they are true.

He historically has skin thinner than tissue paper, so he probably is.

There's no substance to anything he says and he's completely unpredictable. His supporters are latching onto hate and nothing more because he hasn't offered any ideas of substance. In that sense I think the hate of his supporters is rightous.

Trump is a thin skinned pussy that gets triggered into throwing cheap insults almost every day on Twitter. Sad!
No, I'm talking about Bannon literally saying "we are the platform for the alt-right." There is no "other" alt-right than the white-nationalist neo-Nazis.

It's ok when he does it.I'll be watching it after the fact so I don't contribute to ratings, since he actually cares about that shit.
Here, let me assist:
whoops, I posted some whiny ass little bitch from 2012 not accepting Obama as his president.
I don't think you read the post. He is 100% right, the US does not operate under democracy, rather a republic. That's a fact.

The protesters should have picket signs of this tweet.

Republican crybabies, yo.
It's debatable. I put more weight on things like voter suppression and DNC leadership failures. That's what the DNC debates right now are talking about.
My sister-in-law, who lives in NYC, is traveling to DC for the Women's March. I was thinking of going to the local one in Boston, as my coworkers are pretty much all going and my org is listed as a community partner, but then I saw they were expecting 60k+ people. I have severe anxiety in huge crowds if I have any unpredictability so NOPE. Doesn't look like they're gonna have extra train service either so it's just going to be a clusterfuck and I'll be a meltdown waiting to happen.

Oh yes there are

This is what Spencer coined the term for, White Nationalists later hijacked the term and it later became more nebulous.
There is a difference though. Anyone with a brain knows he's in the Russian camp.

My post was a mistake, it was out of frustration. Of course I think everyone is free to protest, but I just think that you can't really protest Trump. Every sane people knows he's shit, and everyone is more than willing to express it. How many protests have there been against Trump? The message is out there. There's no way he thinks he's regarded as a good president.
I just don't want anyone to think I agree with Trump or am part of the "both sides" morons.

That would be incredible
No way? It is like you don't know the man at all.
I'll consider it a success if he whines about it. Anything that pushes his buttons is a win.
Damn that's brilliant especially if there was a sea of them.

1. Yes, you can protest Trump.
2. Thinking that Trump supporters are literally insane does not get you closer to understanding their position or how to counter it.
3. He thinks he's doing a good job.
Spencer is a neo-Nazi. Are you seriously trying to defend the attributes of white nationalists as if it fucking matters what their political beliefs are?

No matter how angry folks are that Trump got elected. I am still glad this is not one of those countries where a Coup d'état is possible. No mob is going to rush the White House and carry Trump out.
At the end of the day, after the marching and protesting we still have to live with this dude for the next 4-8 years. Unless he makes a major mistake.

Some people need to vent their frustration.
Also, the world needs to see that we all don't agree with this nonsense. The perception of americans around the world is about to go down the shitter again
A military coup is certainly possible, most likely by an outgoing president via declaration of martial law. Highly unlikely to ever happen, but possible.

I can't see Trump doing this if he loses in 2020 but this is not Obama's style

Honestly that's where I'm at. I don't have it in me to be "the bigger person" when they doubled down on their extreme stances for 8 years and got made sabotaging Obama their MO.
Fuck that. As you said, let them come around.

Thanks but no thanks to this form of entertainment. I regret ever finding Trump's antics entertaining at the beginning of his candidacy. It hasn't been funny for the past year.
It was legalistic, not democratic. Hillary Clinton received nearly three million more votes. 54% of Americans expressly voted against Donald Trump.
I'll be working so I can't really do anything protest wise.
Even as someone who thinks we should respect the results of the election it's ridiculous to say people shouldnt protest. That's quite literally what our country was founded on, and it's protected in the Constitution.
Protest away and make his next 4 years as President a nightmare for him. Part of being in this country is the freedom to bitch and raise a fuss when we don't like or agree with our leaders.

My wife and I and a large group of our friends will be marching in NYC. They're expecting a massive crowd. Will be interesting.
