I know exactly how they feel, I will never use the word "President" and "Donald Trump" together, he is NOT my President and never will be. He does not represent my values, my beliefs, or anything I want for America.

Call it what you will, but I will never change my mind, ever.
Good for you Don ....

When have you ever seen the number of people with something to lose due to the results of an election ?

Illegals, drug traffickers, government freeloaders in record numbers ... might help explain the protests.

Hahahahaha

The protest here in Charlotte involved 30 people. This in a metro of 2.2 million people.

The CMPD tossed two of them in jail.

This ought to tell you everything you need to know.

Don't fret, the protests will be huge this weekend.

I just hope they don't turn violent.

I didn't vote for Trump. I voted for Johnson. Hilary is a snake, Donald is a bully/bigot.

You state that protests are about not accepting the election result. If Hillary had won you'd be seeing similar protests, don't kid yourself. And the protests technically are against half of America that voted for Trump, not Trump or the election itself.

One President NEVER represents everyone's values, beliefs, etc. There are always tens of millions who feel the President elect isn't the one because they didn't vote for that person. Well, whether I like it or not Trump IS my President. The result is all part of democracy and what the USA was built on.

People will divide this country, not Trump. Those are YOUR words above, not Trumps, that you will never change your mind. Just make sure you look in the mirror IF the divide in this country widens, because it's We The Peoples fault and not simply one person or even one government.
If this were anyone else; say a Rubio or Bush, I would agree with what you are saying.

However, we would have to go back pretty far in our history as a nation to find such a horrible specimen to become our president.

The man has no morals, values or empathy toward mankind. His hatred of anyone that is not pure white is a stain on the face of humanity.

His lack of respect for women, Hispanics, Muslims, disabled Americans is down right ugly.

I think his brilliant wife will reign him in somewhat, since she is an immigrant and she knows the perils of living and coming from a former communist country.

He will never have my respect. I will be watching his wife, our new First Lady, just as I watched, Laura Bush, Barbara Bush and Nancy Reagan. And one of the best, Hillary Clinton, all special First Ladies that had great influence on their husbands. First Ladies don't get the credit they so profoundly deserve.

Mine either. He's some specimen alright. I understand the disenfranchised wanting "change." They're frustrated and angry. But, this guy isn't gonna do it. He'll become more of the "problem" actually. My take on it. I don't get why Rustbelt people think he'll help them. He was born w/ a silver spoon in his mouth. He's a billionaire. Do they think he feels for them--really?! It's about his agenda--himself!

Those "freeloaders" include Medicare recipients.
