Over dramatic.

One could also say the white power stuff going on also falls on that Trump camp too.

Realize that most protests are peaceful like most Trump supporters are not white supremacists.


However... No matter how great one person's policies may be if they threaten the people who are important in my life... They are still a threat and cauae for alarm. If they set a tone for intolerance in this fine country, they too are a concern.

We should have a government for all. h.
You cannot say racist and divisive things and yet claim to represent all people. We are fortunate that most Republicans in the houses do not support nor condone such vision and we have a system of checks.

They were SO positive that a Democratic win was going to extent that entitlement throughout their entire adult lives.

They ran face-first into a locked door when the adults finally said no. So now they are throwing a temper tantrum and stamping their feet. Like most spoiled children when told no for the first time. Soon perhaps they will wake up and learn to share their toys.
They're learning one of life's lessons, probably for the first time in their precocious existence: you don't always get what you want in life. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't. No do-overs, no safe space to shield fragile little egos, not even a trophy for participating. Life goes on. The republic will survive.

These demonstrations remind me of those Mormon protests that swept Utah right after the 2012 presidential election, or the veterans protesting in the streets after the 2008 election. Oh, wait...

Have young heard them speak? They can barely form proper sentences and A LOT of them are illegals I bet. It's sad really that these kids are going to try to run the planet in 20 years. What a cluster fawk that will be.

I can hear it now:

Like ah, you know, like, sure Mr. Terrorist, like we know you hate us and want to cut our heads off but, like, you know, we can all be friends and like love each other. Sure,like, come to America.

You guys really just don't get it do you?

Most of it has absolutely nothing to do with entitlement or not getting your way.

He's not PC and proud of it, and indeed that was much of his appeal. What makes him appealing to some is a source of stress, anger and frustration to others.

May we accept the consequences of the risk our country willingly took.
Yes, there is.

If this continues we will see Martial Law in various cities and surrounding areas.

We have paid agitators mixed in with protestors.

Last night here in LA officers were injured, 150 were arrested. Keep it up and it will be 1992 all over again.

None of these little morons(the ones doing damage) are going to like it. You will be in your home at dusk, you may be limited to where you can go during the day.

The think Trump is bad? This will impact them directly.

We had two very poor choices. But it's done.

Yes, it does.

I will give anyone the benefit of the doubt. The ones I saw interviewed on TV don't even know how the electoral college works. Many were just grinning and laughing, they didn't look upset.

Some are getting paid to cause chaos.

If it doesn't wind down, we will see Martial Law.

It is called throwing a tantrum and they need to grow up.

They are within their rights to be mad.

Do you think they have the right to destroy private property because they are angry?

Lets hope they get tired of it before one of them does something stupid enough to get shot.
