As an old white woman, it reminds me more of Nixon and the Nam War. Nixon was burned in effigy and Trump will be too once he starts passing the radical Right Wing legislation. It is not going away and will only get worse as time goes on. Same as with Nixon and the War.

It is spreading beyond the big cities across America. There have been demonstrations where I live in Naples, Florida. Ever hear of it? Our Median Age is 62. Scratch "Snowflakes" which many posters attribute it to.

That just shows where the illness started.

Millions have signed a petition urging the electoral college to ignore voters and cast their states votes next month for Clinton. They could actually do this but I don't know what it would mean legally.

Extend your right arm, palm outward, and salute the President-elect!

The protesters aren't going to overthrow anything. The only possible way the election results could change would be through the electoral college. The Left could argue that the electoralcollege college was created with someone like Trump in mind.

That said, electoral college shenanigans probably would result in a revolt.

Liberals over sixty are just as bad or worse than the college kids - must be some kind of reliving of those groovy radical hippie days. Ok to smoke pot again too.

There are too many Americans who love this country for what it has been who would not go quietly into the night if the election was overthrown.

Ultimately like the Syrian refugees they are supporting coming here, the leftists would be refugees themselves......
I sense a hint of overreaction to some anti-Trump protesters. We live in a world of interactive websites where those websites present the most extreme versions of society. Just for the record, most cops do not beat up on minorities, few gays are child molesters and no, most clowns are not sadistic.

Well, I'm told (1) most legal gun owners are either Republicans or Independents (2) legal gun owner in the U.S. own approx. 300 million weapons and over a billion rounds of ammunition. (3) Most military people are also Republicans. (4) Even Hillary's minions know not to bring a knife to a gun fight.

Nope. There will not be a revolution.

I'm not a gun owner, legal or otherwise.

Was Kennedy and Johnson burned in effigy also? Serious question because I don't remember seeing it.
