This January I started my eighth year as a temporary worker for the same corporation. I do get paid good; but I have never been offered a full time position with the company even though I am a trainer. They prefer to keep employees without benefits or security - we are all replaceable and never ask for better working conditions, benefits or pay.

While I personally do not mind that system (because of my personal circumstances); I see many other employees that get jerked around all the time. The company uses a carrot - but never comes through for the majority of employees.

All of the supposed problems you think that Trump brings to office are enhanced when families have no money and no security. Unrestricted legal and illegal immigration brings down wages and employers do not have to provide security - you are replaceable. When employers have to compete for labor; they treat their workers better - job security and benefits. American workers are also fighting a losing battle against automation and that will only put even more pressure on the system.

No, because that has nothing to do with getting elected as POTUS, not "showing up" to protest, and certainly not being from other parts of the world. The American citizens who actually showed up to vote a few months ago decided the direction the country should go in.

Here a little factoid: Trump won the white female vote 53% to 43%. That's called a LANDSLIDE!

There are multiple reasons. From staying relevant and getting their name and picture in the media to the need to justify their otherwise unimportant (but financially rewarding) occupations/lives with something they think is substantial, i.e. sociopolitical causes.

Some posters will have you believe a few women voted for Trump and all white men voted for Trump......this is ignoring the American people.

tell us how is Trump is going to send you back to the 50's?....you should get an Oscar for your dramatic acting.


I seen more sexist crap from Hollywood and the music industry and I don't see anybody marching against Hollywood or protesting the garbage that comes out of that industry.....but its all Trump's fault.


Liberal logic.....

And they showed up by the 10s of millions in every state to vote for Trump.

This speaks for itself.

No temper tantrum here, but proud to see people all over the world standing up against what a Trump presidency will mean.
