Has anyone told these petulant protesters that nearly 50% of their fellow citizens voted for Trump?

You & friends sure do hate brown people for someone who's not racist.
And this, again, is why you lost. You don't address the concern, you don't understand the concern, you don't even care. All you can do is reply with *isms and *ists. Why did counties in mi and wi thst entire for Obama in 08 and 12 by 20 or 30% go trump? Are these people all racist now?

No, it's because arrogant, dismissive, divisive, "you have no saying in this" pieces of shit like you ignored them.

You are your own worst enemy and instead of recognizing that and repenting you are doubling down.

Following brexit, the most notable change was somewhere around 50% rise in racially motivated attacks, generally on those "foreigners" their nationalists were busy vilifying during their campaign.

I'd imagine something similar happening in the US given the similar demographics and nature of the vote, except right wing media will spin it as you already instinctly have of uppity minorities attacking the good honest white folk of america.
And that figure has been massively disputed. Why? Because a huge portion of those attacks were fake.

More riots later night, not going to call them protests. More destruction of property, more arrests. So we've got Trump supporters being assaulted, attacks on people for being white, property destroyed, felonies committed. But I'm sure it's all Trumps fault. Sure seems like they're acting just like Hillary accused Trump supporters of being, deplorable. That being said, idiots on the other side acting a fool too.
I hope they keep going. Liberalism is dying. They are murdering it on the grounds of feelings. My feeling? I am happy it is dying.

All Trump can say about the protests is that they aren't fair. This is a prelude to how he thinks. The Constitution is only convenient if it benefits him at the moment, otherwise it's rigged/unfair/irrelevant or whatever term you wish to use to justify ignoring it. I cannot believe that the religious right stood behind this guy who blatantly defies everything that they are supposed to hold dear. They are gigantic hypocrites for it and should go crawl back under their rocks and coddle with their gun collections.
It was being rigged snd you know it. He took on the entire left and right establishment and the global media and he beat the fuck out of them. That's despite massive evidence of fraud in Florida by snipes, in philly by the dems.

That's despite media coordination with the dems.

That's despite her likely getting pres debate questions ahead of time.

That's despite everybody on all sides digging for as much shit as possible.


*WE* beat you and now your precious snowflake world is melting down.

I don't think so, and that's probably because 160+ million Americans didn't vote for Drumpf. Participating voters != the entire population.

Hello.....

hello...

hello...

hello...


That's the liberal media echo chamber you're in!

Obviously I'm more than willing to be proven wrong, but I'll believe the media has their finger on the pulse when I see it. Can't trust them now when floated cabinet picks are likely just floated out there to just cause more discontent.
If Trump had been talking untried and untested cabinet picks he'd have posted other negatives. Same shit just a different day.

More "peaceful" protest, just exercise the 1A, right? -


Police in Portland, Ore. declared that a once peaceful protest was a riot after demonstrators were seen attacking drivers and committing acts of vandalism during their march against Donald Trump’s election Thursday night.

Portland police said at least 29 people were arrested in the riot and that more information would be given on the charges Friday morning.

According to KPTV, one driver had her windshield smashed and someone painted “Capitalism kills” on a nearby convenience store. Police declared the protest a riot at around 8:30 pm. A riot is a Class C felony in Oregon.

Protesters in Portland’s Pearl District were breaking windows of several businesses and some were arming themselves with rocks from a construction site, police said.

In San Francisco's downtown, high-spirited high school students marched through, chanting "not my president" and holding signs urging a Donald Trump eviction. They waved rainbow banners and Mexican flags, as bystanders in the heavily Democratic city high-fived the marchers from the sidelines.

Keep waving that foreign flag in US soil and then you wonder why DT was elected.

I've seen Twitter trends and Facebook trends just disappear in front of my eyes, Google auto complete modified, social media was in the bag too. I felt like we were being fed Cold War era propaganda, frankly, I'm amazed it didn't work.

If you were too lazy to get up and go to work should you keep your job? Would your opinion matter at said job anymore?

Arrogance is why it didn't work.

That video when a reporter asked her if she would adopt parts of Bernie's platform because that's what the people want is exactly what we're talking about. The hubris in her response was disgusting to watch.

Basically her response was "I got this and I got that and I don't need him or his platform or his voters, I am queen and I am destined to be the next president. All this stuff you're asking me doesn't matter."

I'm sorry if it's rude to say but I couldn't the words "nasty woman" out of my mind. Her facial expressions were simply nasty.

Yes, so perhaps the protesters are really just bitter roughly 160+ million Americans didn't vote for Shrillary.

Ok, I laughed
5 to 4;
"The Court stated that the right to keep and bear arms is subject to regulation, such as concealed weapons prohibitions, limits on the rights of felons and the mentally ill, laws forbidding the carrying of weapons in certain locations, laws imposing conditions on commercial sales, and prohibitions on the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. It stated that this was not an exhaustive list of the regulatory measures that would be presumptively permissible under the Second Amendment."

-> "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." // Unharmed.
-> "[a] well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State," // The militia component has been replaced to well regulated right. If it was changed it would be "A well regulated right... *to keep and bear arms, ]being necessary to the security of a free State.. *shall not be infringed.

Are some of you really asking why they are protesting? I didn't vote for Hillary but he was sexist, racist, made fun of handicapped people, said he is going to stop certain people from coming into the country, made voters that weren't his part of America outsiders. He didn't run a campaign that everyone would be fine with.

When was the last time an American president had protests against them after they won the presidency
?

Perhaps Jackson and certainly Lincoln.

The protests are understandable. Plenty of minorities are legitimately terrified of what is to come and no one can honestly blame them for those emotions.

Hopefully they remain relatively peaceful (doubtful) and that Obama does spend a significant amount of effort in the next couple of months to restore confidence in the American people. A lot of people are going to be feeling lost, forgotten, despised over the next several years. Certain Trump supporters will continue to argue that "He was just saying things to get elected!" but none of that reflects the reality of life for the people that were repeatedly told that they were less than American, less than tolerable, and have no business being in this country.

Good luck with that.

Where are they rioting or looting? As for the protests, they are simply exercising their first amendment right to protest. If you didn't notice, a man was elected to the presidency while basically trashing entire groups of Americans.

It's as if those who invoke "banana republic" have no idea what that means....other than a place to score some cheap chinos sewn together by a 14 year-old in Bangladesh.

Some of these interviews with Trump protesters are comedy gold. They don't know why they're out there, can't cite any policy they don't like, just rambling on about nothing. Hilarious.

Well, if you didn't think Trump's supporters were effectively using Twitter and Facebook to get out their message and bump their daily hashtags in relevance in, quite possibly, the most important advertising campaign to get out his "message," then you're being naive.

The guy spent a 3rd of what Hillary did because his little basic bitch army destroyed the Twitter platform on a daily basis with there free advertising by keeping nonsense stories and simple phrases trending above everything else. It was incredibly well-organized and highly effective.

Whatever your conspiracies about social media censuring Trump supporters are completely drowned out by the fact that they utilized the platforms far more effectively than the dems.

The Constitution has been treated by all parties like this.

But Trump aside this has nothing to do with Constitutional rights.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/11/us/oregon-protest-riot/

That isn't going to help his opposition. Folks need to protest lawfully.
Agreed. Personally, I'm over these "protests", to the point that I hope the first time a cop takes a bullet or a Molotov or a brick, or sees a car or building intentionally damaged, they switch from rubber bullets to copper and steel and lead. That will send the precious snowflakes back to the bus to be returned to their safe zones full of adult coloring books.

Ok, I laughed

Kind of like how the same people calling Trump Hitler are the ones bussing in the brownshirts.

And no one saw it coming - probably because everyone is convinced that all Republican supporters are geriatric technophobes with one foot and two Rascal wheels in the grave.

Who could have foreseen that a 70 year old narcissist businessman would be the one to actually get the power of social media? Obviously not myself. But then, I'm on Facebook maybe once a year and I'm not a Twit or Twat or whatever those who Tweet are properly called.

I can blame the media for the echo chamber of fear and hatred. The campaign against Trump has incited violence.
The President and company telling the public to keep it cool and unite does not work after screaming for two years that the world was literally going to end if this happens.

Serious question:

For all those lashing out against the deplorable violence that has been part of these protests(understandable) and mocking the angry protesters (pathetic), what do you have to say about the people (several of them members here) in various militias, that promised to "Take care of matters" and that they were "locked, loaded, and ready" [to take back the country] in the event of a Hillary win?

Just bluster, or, in the event that they actually honored those promises, would you also reject their actions?
