Hmm, let's see, what could explain the protests. What could it be? Hmmmm. Oh oh ... the popular vote was won by Clinton, and not Trump! Yeah yeah ... except ... wait ... Gore and Bush. Hmmmm. Have there ever been protests after an election? Is this some unique and disgraceful thing?

I am all for people sending a message that Camp Trump is on notice, provided it isn't violent or destructive. Go peaceably assemble and march. Good. Now, just give us something to really galvanize and send the masses out T-Rump. Give us any number of lighting rod policy positions to oppose. Come on Bannon! Whisper the good stuff into Trump's ear.

No Graffiti, Damaged Windows, Destroyed cars with the Love to Hate marchers.............. you likely believed the polsters also?

Some are violent. Not all.

It's been a long time since we have been here. America has forgotten how this goes. Expect King, Ghandi, and martyrs if given the right call to action. Right now you just have kids trying to work out their issues. The nation now is just looking for that reason.

I dare the Trump admin. Bring it.

They protest because:
1. They are sore losers.
2. They hope to change the election results.
3. They have nothing better to do.

What good would it do. The people voted for him.....that's your notice.

Thunderlips is Tovbot2 says

People should be intolerant of some opinions. For example, the opinion that
1. the Jews are subhuman and should be burned alive in ovens
2. women who are raped should be honor killed or thrown in prison for premarital sex
3. it's okay to falsely convict and imprison innocent men for rape in order to make it easier to convict actual rapists
4. it's okay to kill people in poor countries in order to steal their nation's natural resources

I'd have no problem being bigoted against those opinions. I guess I'm deplorable that way.

I could probably add a lot of SJW opinions to that list.

A minority of the people voted for him. He set a divisive and ugly tone for the nation. Clinton laid out a big identity politics land mine for us too.

The protests do nothing now, because they are not in opposition to any policy initiative. When they are focused at something, they will. When the new administration tries to defund Planned Parenthood, or there is legal suit that takes the public interest, watch the public dollars and outcry oppose them.

These are kind of silly warm up protests. You only oppose them because you are in opposition to what they are against: the President-elect in general. Yes, I think they are kind of protesting over nothing, but I think it is wonderful they are out there. That's the 1st in a action.

Do you really think the Trumpets would have gone quietly back to their homes in a Clinton win? Let's not play pretend.

Thunderlips is Tovbot2 says

A bigot is literally somebody who can't tolerate dissenting worldviews and opinions.

Which side will now legislate against civil liberties, sexes, sexual orientations, racial/national origins, and religions? You tell me who the champion of people making choices, and holding different ideas, for themselves, is? You tell me who has courage to actually let freedoms stand?

Absolutely.

So you are gonna change the constitution with your protests?

Rew says

They would have protested too, and i would have told them the same thing I'm telling you.

THE ONLY RULE: Be careful who you piss off!

GOOD ADVISE: Stick your value system up your ass.

Rew says

the popular vote was won by Clinton, and not Trump!

3 million illegal aliens voted.

Strategist says

It doesn't appear to me the protest is calling for a constitutional amendment. Does it to you?

People aren't trying to unseat Trump. They are showing they are "not with him" because they don't believe "he is with them".

Strategist says

They would have protested too, and i would have told them the same thing I'm telling you.

That's why you are missing the issue. The administration and you should be asking more of the "whys" behind the protest and how to "unite" and bring the country together. That's always been a deep fear of mine, with the rise in hate rhetoric we are seeing. You can bet the Clinton administration would be wondering how it would unify the country more.

We know they are not with Trump. They are part of the voters who lost. The elections are over. Hello?

I already know the "whys" Let me repeat.
They protest because:
1. They are sore losers.
2. They hope to change the election results.
3. They have nothing better to do.

Strategist says

That's the point. They are saying, "it isn't over, we are still here, and we are the majority."
I'm sure they would welcome an impeachment process, but no one sane is thinking they will overturn the results. He won.

Criticisms of the State, and protesting, is fundamental to Democracy. Don't you embrace that yet?

The only way to do this is for trump to throw some totally unexpected major chits the libbys way, with the chits addressing anything to do with racism.
Safe zones, however, are definitely off the list as that is one of the deficiencies that trump needs to address.
We as a nation have become way too thin-skinned, to our detriment.

Firing Bannon is one of the major chits...
He could spin it as "I hired him so I could fire him!"...

Then he needs to move camp pendelton to downtown chicago.
Let the enlisted train on the gun crazy fucks ruining that town...

Then he needs to open up the safe zones in syria/jordan and make middle east countries contribute their fair share to fund it. Everyone entering that zone needs to be vetted by the most stringent means available. Make it a "gun free" zone.

Use their own rules against them...

I don't like giving these people my name. I have worked in very high volume that I have never ever seen any Starbucks come even close to.
And we remembered who ordered what, or just call out the number on my receipt. You are a corporation not a Person, you are not on first name with me. Now call out my Receipt number or just look at me and nod when my order is up.

But, it's so unfair.....
