Protesters throwing shit and walking in front of cars on the freeway now. Not too smart.

Trust me, I know. I'm just doing my best to verify the claims are false before confronting her with facts.

Glad this is happening. Everyone can vent their frustration and we can then begin to unify.

How do you unify with a group whose platform is "get out of my country"? There's no compromise possible on that position.

If true, hopefully people can stop acting like idiots and harm the point of them doing the protests in the first place.

Get off the damn freeway :|

He tells it like it is, unlike those lying establishment politicians, but he didn't really mean what he said.

He's not a polished politician.

I voted for Hillary. Still this just seems strange to me. The guy won, where were all these people yesterday?

 

[DMONKUMA]

Yep they're on our campus just watching them passing next to my dorm window.

 

[StickSoldier]

I'm at a loss of words as to what to say. I don't know where we go from here as a country. I don't know how we recover spiritually with one another after this unless a miracle happens.

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Anyone know if the LA protest is planned to continue tomorrow? Wondering if I can use it as an excuse to work from home..

Edit: Oh shit they shut down the 101.

I'm never going to unify behind Trump. I accept him as my president but I will not support him or his fellow Republicans.

 

[nekkid]

Well people are tired of the same ways. The same same ways that enacted voter suppression laws to rig the election for Trump. The same same ways that ensures that the majority of the voters DON'T get who they voted for.

But to think this is ONLY about the results of the election is short sighted. The seeds that were sowed during the Occupy movement are still very much alive in today's protests.

And that can all change,

But where does it end? At what point do you stop calling it the United States?

All those people got Hillary her win in New York. What are you on about?

Given the locations of these protests, they are very likely the people who voted.

I find it odd we're assuming these people aren't the ones who got off their asses and voted. Especially in the states she won.

Helicoptor guy just said the sheriff just gave the call on the protestors. They've made their point. They're coming in and gonna shut em down. Theyve shut down the freeway long enough. Theyre gonna come in hard.

People look like ants from this high up.

A lot of these are blue states, so they were out voting for Hillary. Not that it's relevant either way.

Dude, if they're coming in through the windows get to safety man!

Wow two motorcycle cops are in the middle of that?

So they are protesting the election by shutting down the freeways in the cities that voted for Hillary. Over/under on not showing up in 2018?

Watch it and tell me how you would describe a giant mass of people from a high ass persepctive.

And the American people are worried that Trump in the White House will lead to more attacks from ISIS. Why would ISIS want to lift a finger when y'all are hurting one another?

It won't be too hard to recruit new terrorists if Muslims are actually afraid for their lives for good reason.
Shit may well escalate.

Fucking Clinton still don't get it

I don't agree with blocking highways but I do believe in the protests.

That says "Hillary Clinton supporter" not Hillary herself.

But yeah, some of them still don't get it.

Riot cops moving in on the freeway

They were voting. Those are blue states. Clinton got the most votes nationwide, as well.

 

[Xe4]

How many of those people do you think voted? Certainly not all of them. Obama's old adage remains true as always. They can boo now, but they should've voted.

 

[Hitman]

But where does it end? At what point do you stop calling it the United States?

It doesn't have to stop being the United States just because changes are made. No bullshit laws against money in politics that are REAL and NOT smoke and mirrors would probably be enough to call off the movement. Then the country can rejoice in a political system that is MORE like the United States and MORE democratic than it has ever been.

Blue.fucking.states. They voted.

Get what? shutting down the cities that overwhelming voted for Hillary doesn't do anything?

No wonder we lost, apathetic before the election and outraged after. I bet this forum would be signing a different tune if Hillary won and trump supporters had hey effigy on a noose.

It's not Clinton that said it. But that sentiment is akin to the same sentiment we see from posters in this thread. They just don't realize how IMPORTANT these protests really are. It's just a lack of foresight.

I need sleep, thanks for pointing it out

That sucks for all the people stuck in the cars.

Probably voted for Hillary too, that'll show em.

Fucking useless. Go to the supreme court and get the EC changed!!! yea the SC has the ability to amend the constitution. Probably won't vote in 2018 also.

 

[norm9]

Helicoptor guy's commentary has been wack all night, but he channeled Tupac a bit when he saw that people starting sitting down on the freeway he (i assumed threw his hands up and) said that LA does things their own way.

Trump =/= Hillary
If they were out there doing this over Mitt Romney, McMullin or even GWB I would be pissed at them.

As it is? It's their Wednesday.

 

[Kevtones]

Meh, I'm working from home tomorrow anyway.


I like the dick move tbh. If any citizens were used to pointless freeway stops, it's us.

why wouldn't we be? there's a lot of difference between protesting and hanging an effigy of someone by a noose, of which we have so far not seen in these protests against trump.

Wow. It's interesting that you understand that Trump supporters would do exactly that if Hillary had won. But you are too blind to see the difference between that and what people are doing right now.

 

[zethren]

There has to be some sort of online equivalent way to vote. This protest, this spark of movement whatever it is needs a guiding force. It needs organization and leadership.

Be vocal and active.

Contact your state representatives often. Be strong and firm, but be civil. Show them that you pay attention and that you vote. That you and many others will be voting in the midterms.

Politicians can get away with a lot if we don't pay attention and we don't vote.

These peaceful protests are wonderful, but we also need to vote as well.

nothing like some good old protest shaming even if the event in question is a huge injustice
