If they need a reason to protest they should have protested the Democratic party not nominating Bernie Sanders even though he was favored. If Bernie had been nominated there is a possibility he would have won the other night. And why protest Trump, what did he do? He didn't cheat the system, he won fair and square. Granted I don't agree with the premise of the electoral college this day and age, even though they did move Trump to Presidency, the electoral college in my eyes would be the cause of their problem not Trump. Again, research and knowledge is key, not assumptions. They say Trump is closed minded yet they are acting in the same manner by protesting. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Protesting is one of the most American things you can do. Do I appreciate the flag burning though? No way. I would never burn a U.S. flag. Burning a Confederate flag, I have no issues with that. But not a USA flag.

I live in rural Western PA, clear on the other side of the state. In a county that voted solid Trump. The protests in Philly may as well be on the moon.

Unemployed whiners and lazy do nothings looking for attention are like fleas on Trumps butt. Just a small nuisance till you squash them.

You *******s are great entertainment. Keep crying, keep talking tough. I love watching your daily histrionics.

******* USA. The newest reality show sweeping the nation. I hope you go on location to my town. My fellow deplorables and I will greet you in our own very special way.

This is what America is all about. Make your voice heard.

So what you're saying is that you like to ridicule people without understanding their circumstances. Gosh I wish you would wake up a person of color tomorrow, preferably a woman. That way you may be finally forced to confront the hard truth of voter intimidation, voter suppression, lack of opportunity, and abject poverty that an African-American infant just born today is already inevitably far more likely to encounter in their life that if they were White.

The Trump victory doesn't mean morality is dead, and doesn't mean compassion for those less fortunate is dead.

He never threatened to go after you. But he did threaten to go after people. And those people are rightfully fearful of their safety, their children's safety, their loved one's safety. Do not dismiss their fear because you are safe.
Truth.

Moving the goal posts already. You're just confirming that Trump was lying all along, and you knew it, and you voted for him anyway.

So there goes your plan.

Excuse me, but all we heard from the rural Trump cult was "we have no jobs."

Seems to me they were either lying or unemployed whiners.
