What exactly are they protesting?

The election process?
The EC over the popular vote?
That they are just unhappy with the results?
That enough Dems didn't vote?

Or is it something really stupid, like they just don't like the results.

Why is protesting the election of a mentally unstable racist really stupid?

Sure you can, and she did it very successfully. Trump got fewer votes than John McCain did eight years earlier, which shows pretty convincingly that her message not to vote for him resonated.

About the voters numbers, how is it that since 2012 the US population increased by almost 7 millions people but that in the same time the number of voters has decreased by 4-5 millions..?.

Because he is none of those things. Or do you have some proof, like from a medical examination or something?

I didn't think so, snowflake.

The Democrats thinking Hillary had it in the bag due to all of her hype didn't vote. This cost her an election.

Yes, sitting up at three in the morning ranting on twitter about someone's sex tapes because someone said something mean to you at a debate is a great example of mental stability. And if Trump's long, long history of extreme racism hasn't penetrated your psyche by this point there's nothing anyone is going to be able to say that would convince you otherwise. By the way, a majority of Americans agrees with me that he's racist.

Regardless of what you think though, these people certainly believe he is an unstable racist and they can point to plenty of evidence to back it up. That seems like a good reason to protest, no?

I m talking of all people that have the right to vote, not of the supporter of a party or political preference of the electorate.

In 2012 there was 235 248 000 people that were within voting age while in 2016 this number is 231 556 622, and this with the US population that increased by said 7 millions during this period.

I believe many of them left for Cuba &/or were deported early
I will never EVER bow down to Trump.

Never.
That's more like it

The people these spoiled brats should really be angry with are in the DNC. They're the ones, along with the rich elites, that ordained a tired old hag because it was 'her turn'. They screwed Bernie and their chance to get all the free sh*t he was promising them.

I'd pay close attention to them in the sense that they are the voters of the future for decades to come.

In my mind, they will forever remember this remarkable event and I'm thinking they will do their civic duty in future elections to prevent something like this from happening again.

IMO, they're protesting the man and not the process or consequences that got him elected.

So in other words 'you have a right to protest but you're terrible if you actually exercise that right'.


You (apparently) missed my point. Yes, you have the right to protest. It is (IMHO) inane and just plain stupid to protest the legal election of an elected official when YOU CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. It was done legally by rule of law. This is NOT A PROTEST ... it is a BITCH and MOAN TANTRUM.

And no, I did not vote for Mr. Trump ...

Sure they can protest and they have a right to do it as long as they do not interfere with someone else's rights to drive down the street in peace.

They do need to realize that Trump is our President. They need to suck it up and move on.

Your numbers must be wrong.

Death threats, violence, and arson are not 1st amendment rights.
Americans are familiar with what these riots look like, they're not protests.

Never said they were. At the time I posted there were not widespread reports of arson.

In any case I have no problem with the 10,000s exercising their 1st amendment rights who aren't violating the law. Those who do should be arrested.

These people are exercising their Constitutional rights so let them speak their minds! What I find shameful is the fact that over half of the voting age people chose not to vote and if those protesters are among them then shame on them. They should've been responsible enough to register and vote in the election.

Doesn't Trumps plan involve a large tax cut (primarily for the rich) and dramatic spending increases? I find it laughable that candidates can tell voters directly to their face and also on paper that they are going to give even more handouts to the oligarchy and the voters lap it up like a dog eating it's own vomit. Six trillion given back to the 1%ers with no source to replace the lost revenue.... noice!

I have utterly no doubt whatsoever that all changes Donald Trump make will benefit him and the 1%ers directly. His self-worth is entirely wrapped up around his net worth. He has made this blindingly obvious throughout his entire life.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...tax-plan-now-favors-the-ultra-rich-even-more/

The analysis also shows how a still-unresolved question about the plan's treatment of business tax rates matters enormously for the federal debt and the fortunes of the very rich.

It appears to be a direct trade-off. If Trump allows all businesses — including what are called pass-through entities, a group that includes many small businesses but also the bulk of Trump's companies — to pay a 15 percent tax rate, then the plan would increase the debt by as much as $5.9 trillion over the next decade, not accounting for additional economic growth. Also, the top 1 percent of taxpayers would see their incomes rise by 16 percent.

That s possible, i did find them in an usually credible european paper, though..

That being said the turn out is incredibly low for an election that important, rates like 55% are hardly seen in Europe even for local elections.

If the shoe had been on the other foot, we know for an absolute fact that there would have been protests over the "lock her up" "Clinton Crime Family" and the like. Those people certainly believe those things about Hillary and the Clinton's and they can point to plenty of evidence to back it up. It would have been equally as valid and we should be respectful of each person's right to peacefully protest.

In time all these people will move on and resume being Americans, at this time they are deeply partisan which is understandable, in a short while we will unite, we always do.
