This has some "good" potential. (Sorry for this nightmare scenario). Now picture some clashes with right-winger anti-protestors and/or so called "Trump Brown Coats". This will likely come. There is a giant powder-keg and the very end of the fuse has just been lit. (Way earlier than I thought actually).
Not to sound dramatic (but I totally admit I am ), then you can cross the "United" part of the "States of America". And I foresaw this coming...

Salutations, dear euro friend. Your outspoken opinion on America's elections are duly noted.

However, I'm afraid it is a weekday so the "trump brown coats" are in bed and the protesters will go away once their iphone battery gets low.

The sun will rise and America will move on. Thank you.

Shots fired at LA Valley College, Van Nuys. Lockdown. Not sure whether related to protests.

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?
As I minority myself who left my ballot blank, their sheer delusion Democrats have in which their way always results in roses and sunshine is more reprehensible than a guy who talks nasty. Somehow, I doubt that aligning with Blues suddenly makes a Dem male any less of a misogynist who objectifies women; it's just a ticket to get it swept under the table with no issue. I HIGHLY doubt that all these Dem college males are all about respect and have never talked about a woman's rear end.

As far as racism goes, yes it is there. But both sides desperately want to use this race card instead of making it a pragmatic matter of eliminating the illegals, wherever they come from. If an entirely legal community is dominated by Hispanics, the denizens should learn Spanish and suck it but. But the illegals should be kicked out by virtue of the law, not because of their race or culture. Illegals are not part of "our country".

The Democratic stronghold Prince George's county is hardly a lovely place to live and even sneered at and avoided by fellow people in liberaltopia NoVa and Montgomery County.

These people are afraid their voices will be rendered silent. That their desires for the future of their country will be cast aside. This is their reminder that they too have a voice and they will be the voice of the future.

Don't forget. This is how the 18-25 demographic voted.


That is not how the demographic voted. That's from October, not exit polling, and the demographic voted quite differently.

And...the Age of Aquarius generation, which would have been similar to that blue, voted strongly for him.

Hint: young people are stupid.

I'm sorry but the Brownshirts/Protesters belong to the liberals not the right-wingers.

It is sad that these young people were repeatedly lied to by Hillary, the DNC, celebrities, and especially the MSM. Everyone said that Hillary was going to win and there was a better chance that you'd hit the powerball 50 times in a row than a Trump victory. Surprise folks! Trump was doing a lot better than the establishment wanted to admit. Some people were gaslighted and now have no mechanism to handle the truth.

It seems like it's more of the same with a bunch of organized, professional agitators showing zero respect for our electoral process and causing public unrest. I saw protesters waving the Mexican flag around and one was scared for family members that might get deported back to Guam.

It's sad that there will always be a handful of knuckleheads that use these events to be the little shit thugs they are and ruin it for everyone there just trying to protest peacefully. Pieces of shit...

Someone was lying then. People from Guam are U.S. citizens by birth. "Professional agitators", who hires them? Does it pay good? Health benefits?

Ahh yes I see now that is from survey monkey polling the two weeks prior on how they intended to vote. Mea culpa.

As to young people being stupid... It's a broad brush to paint. Even if they are that doesn't change the point of why they are out there tonight. Whether their ideals change in the future is another story.

That's it though, he did more than talk nasty, he told Americans that your religion is wrong that that we aren't letting in any more of you because you are dangerous. How are Americans that didn't vote for him supposed to feel? He didn't say just terrorists, he said Muslims, all Muslims. That's like Hillary saying that all Evangelicals are dangerous. How are evangelicals supposed to feel that are already living here?

Whether you voted for Obama or Bush and they got elected, I'm sure you weren't afraid of getting kicked out of the country because of him or losing everything because of him. Trump said those kinds of things.

How has Trump wronged them?
Republican policy sure... but does that mean not accepting any election? Did these protests happen in previous elections?

he hasn't harmed them.

but the very notion that a person who is for everything they are against is in power agitates them.

Where did he say Islam is wrong? He has said radical islam is wrong. He has said he wanted to stop people coming in until better vetting could be created, then softened. Just stop.

A person who had qualification... starting from High School, to College, to Law, to Government, even further in Government... lost to a extremist right-wing star who basically is going to deport all of us into FEMA interment camps.

This really takes it home;
lost an election for class president for her senior year against two boys, one of whom told her, "you are really stupid if you think a girl can be elected president."

American Dream is destroyed... it is more worthwhile to be a star. Than, to have an education and to fight for office on that merit.

My point is that these people are the "low-information" types.

http://abcnews.com.co/donald-trump-protester-speaks-out-i-was-paid-to-protest/

Have you been duped or is that a legitimate website part of abcnews ? abcnews.com.co

I have no idea either way. If it's some wingnut site though, really puts some irony in the low-information types statement.

edit: frontpage headline of that site :
Obama Signs Executive Order Banning The National Anthem At All Sporting Events Nationwide


lol.
