There's this huge protest against Trump going on at my school right now and on twitter I hear it's going on every college campus. :ab

I wonder if they can sustain this until the inauguration.

Sore losers basically. Trump won fair and square. This is democracy. If they didn't like the guy and if they were determined not to see him elected, they should have gone out of their way to ensure people didn't vote for him.

Democracy is collective punishment for those who didn't vote for the winner. It's like so many Pakistanis are suffering due to those who voted for Nawaz Sharif.
 
It's just sheer embarrassment , can't think of any country which would elect such a clown as their leader. There is Pakistan but hey, nothing new there.
 
It will be interesting to see if the whole thing was an act to fool the red necks or he whether he will actually carry out some of his stated policies. I don't think he is stupid and will not only temper the more idiotic policies but may go on to become a decent president. The one thing for sure is that the old establishment is not in control of the political scene in the Internet age and there is no norm, and it will take time to even think about a new norm.
 
I predict that these protests will make absolutely no difference whatsoever and will be forgotten by Saturday...
 
for all the faults of the conservatives, they did take obama's wins in 08 and 12 with a lot more grace. this is just pathetic. i'm almost certain these so called protests will devolve into looting and destruction just like the BLM ones.
 
He has a case with Federal court on November 28. Trump presidency will be a reality if he doesn't get locked up for it. I just hope his choices have no negative impact on economy. Hopefully people will hold Trump accountable in 2020 for whatever he promised.
 
so trump said if he loses the election, he wont accept the result.. system is rigged

everyone laughed at him

now hes won the election and the ones laughing are calling foul :)))

vatta country

Don't you know India has a Rahul Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal, If elected, would be the biggest farce of human history!!

You're having a laugh right?

Cross burnings. Schoolchildren chanting "Assassinate Obama." Black figures hung from nooses. Racial epithets scrawled on homes and cars.

Incidents around the country referring to President-elect Barack Obama are dampening the postelection glow of racial progress and harmony, highlighting the stubborn racism that remains in America.

lol are u seriously comparing a bunch of bigots who hated obama to the 10s of thousands now blocking highways and cities tonight? have some perspective. conservatives were generally well behaved compared to what's going on today.

I guess your definition of "well behaved" differs to mine. :)

Saturday? I'd be surprised if I remember this tomorrow morning unless I see the thread title on time pass
 
The voter turnout was quite low. I bet majority of those protesting didn't even go out to vote, no point crying now.
 
It's gonna get real ugly from when he takes over the White House. This isn't even the start.

What are these clowns on about ? He was fairly elected by the people. Accept the result and go home. Whether you like it or not, he is your president. It is funny how these people want others to accept their views while rejecting the views of majority that elected him.
 
Wonder if Trump will start with the lowest approval rating of any president? Given he already doesnt have the popular vote

There is the teeny tiny matter of Clinton having more votes than Trump. So your comments about being elected by the majority doesn't hold true.

I find it absolutely bizarre that people didn't turn out to vote even though there was so much at stake and when there is so much technology available i.e. online voting, advanced voting, voting in embassies abroad if you are living outside America. Truly Bizarre but the Americans have only themselves to blame for the verdict on November 8.

I am pretty sure if Clinton won by Electoral college and Trump won the popular vote, the other side would be singing a different tune.

Both candidates and the American people knew what the election rules and system was prior to the election. No point crying now. If you don't like the Electoral college system then file a petition to dismiss it.
 
It would be a mistake to write off student voices, the younger Americans are probably less entrenched in their views than a lot of older people, and the world is probably a more tolerant place because of it. That said, there are some things I would rather not have my kids taught at school these days, but that's the price of living here. The Trump vote like Brexit is just older people trying to reclaim a past which is no longer relevant.

I'm not disagreeing with the fact that Trump won fair and square, just dispelling the notion that the majority "voted" for him. There is a difference between those two.

Clinton had the majority vote, but Trump had more electoral votes. Hence he won.

AlGore in 2000 Presidential election and Hillary in 2008 Democratic Primaries had more votes as well. The US citizens must accept the election result and live with it.
 
these people are just looters and anarchists. the amount of destruction to public property and the violence against supposed trump voters has been unbelievable so far. i've even seen some of these animals even relieving themselves in the middle of the street.
 
Nearly 50% of eligible voters didn't vote. They only have themselves to blame.

Exactly.

A real shame when the election was so polarizing. Even if you don't agree with either side, vote for a third party candidate or go with a "write-in" choice.
 
George Soros has been paying people to do these protests against Trump since last year. Nothing to see just a bunch of college aged kids throwing a tantrum and getting to skip class/exams.

Yeah nothing to see, that's why Puppet in Chief is making tweets about it. Now calm down, America is still a democracy. We have the right to protest.

Keep it up. Trump is probably laughing from his tower.

Sure, he has duped so many people to vote for him. I bet he is laughing. Now he is back with same faces. Senate has same old guys and so does the House of Representatives. Only difference is we have a royal family in the white house instead of a President.

Judging people doesn't help people like Trump supporters any more.
 
My fellow liberal here, who can't go two minutes without calling someone a racist or sexist, is going to teach us about judging people.

He is just telling it like it is. Don't tell me Trump's supporters are not racist and misogynists. Who else is telling people to go back to Africa and Asia?

Lol you just proved how "smart" Trump supporters are. Like I've stated before, I'm not a liberal and you don't have to be one to oppose Trump, many Republicans and Libertarians have been against Trump for the past year, even the Pope condemned him. Trump's statements are without any doubt, racist and sexist, the jury is out on his statements.

It's Saturday and the protest movement is gaining top level Democrat endorsement...
 
OK then apart from mouth frothing about Trump being racist give your reasons why Trump is racist.

Called Hispanics rapists, drug dealers, criminals, ridiculing BLM, tweeting false info about 'black' crime. Gets support from the KKK, doesn't even disavow David Duke's endorsement until much latter, the fact that the KKK, David Duke, Breitbart, people at stormfront support him is reason enough to believe he's a white supremacist. His call to ban to all Muslim people is also xenophobic if not racist. Heck, the whole Birther campaign was rooted in racism, white supremacists couldn't believe Obama was born in America and was a Christian just cause he was a Brown man with a Kenyan Muslim father.

If you cannot produce a direct quote from Trump where he states that Hispanics are rapists then you are a liar.

You have been fooled by the media and fox news.

Nowhere, absolutely nowhere in that video did Donald Trump say Hispanics are racist. He said that Mexico does not send its best people to America, they send criminals, drug dealers and rapists which is true.

You have been suckered in by the media and you believe in false headlines and you are even arguing here and the evidence is provided by you that you are wrong. Can anyone been more brainwashed by the media than that.
 
We have examples of Trump supporters in this thread itself. Truly a most intriguing species these creatures are.

I thought the word "racist" in your post was a typo for the word "rapist". So this guy can call an entire race of people rapists and still have people backing him. Wow..

No end to white supremacy is there..

It'll be like Imran Khan's jalsas but at a smaller scale.

All bark no bite.

I'm not American and I don't vote in their system and I couldent care less who is the president of the US, but I can see when people make up lies like Trump said "Hispanics are rapists". If being able to distinguish between a lie and the truth makes me a Trump supporter than that's what I am. I am not so stupid as to believe what a headline says and than go around sprouting it as the truth.

Denial ain't just a river in egypt, I have many hispanics friends and acquaintances and they all dislike Donald Trump, you won't find a Hispanic except for some people of Cuban descent who support trump.


You can hear what he said about Mexican immigrants in this clip.

Mexican immigrants, that is a race now is it. And he only talking about some of them because he said some of them were good. People here on this site talk about Americans being stupid so by your standards then they are being racist then.

So anyway you have backtracked on your reason for Trump being racist because you cannot produce a direct quote from Trump calling Hispanics rapists. Now you are changing it to he called some immigrants from Mexico criminals, drug dealers and rapists even though some are good people.

Mexicans are seen as a race here, and they see themselves as such. I live in a border state with a large Hispanic pop.. Trump just generalized an entire race/ethnicity of people claiming that Mexico sends "rapists,criminals,drug dealers", that's just an insult to the millions of hardworking law-abiding hispanics that live here. There's plenty of evidence of Trump tweeting all kinds of racists crap about black crime statistics, more over he's got support of far right racists like the KKK who celebrated his victory, David Duke, Ann Coulter (who openly called for the "debrowning" of America), Ben Shapiro. You also ignored the entire Birther movement that Trump led for the last 5 years or more, that's just based of the racist beliefs that Obama isn't born in America and isn't a Christian cause he's a Brown man with a Kenyan Muslim father.

I don't think you understand what racism actually means, for you its just a way to insult people and think by using the word racism it gives you some sort of moral high ground. Its a shame because it devalues the ability to fight the real racism that occurs all over the world. I can see why someone like yourself got involved in these demonstrations and thought it was fun to burn and destroy property and call someone racist without even understanding what you are saying. Perhaps when you mature you will understand what you have and are doing.

I do know what it means, you only believe in the traditional definition of racism that it refers to a group seeing themselves as superior to another but in today's world race can also mean ethnicity. Trump's sole reason for questioning Obama's birthplace for half a decade was only because his father was Kenyan and was a Muslim, if his dad was from Sweden he, like most of his supporters wouldn't care at all. Heck, they might just be fine with a European running for President even if they're fresh off the boat. Also lol @ "burning, destroying property" - we didn't do anything like that, generalizing and judging people isn't going to win over the anti-Trump crowd.

You supported these people did you not?.

Overnight protests against the election of Donald Trump as US president turned violent in Portland, Oregon.

About 4,000 demonstrators gathered in the centre of the western city. Some smashed shop and car windows, threw firecrackers and set rubbish alight.

That's just one of the many protests that have been going on since Tuesday, for every violent demonstration there are many more peaceful ones, especially on campus you got campus police keeping watch.

But you support them, you support the violent demonstrations, you support the burning and destruction of property. You cannot deny this. You have linked Trump to the KKK simply because they support him and here you are going to demonstrations and supporting violence and destruction of property.

Unless of course you are going to say what you say and what you do are two different things.

Where the heck did I say I supported violent protests, I support peaceful protests which is our constitutional right, pull out any comment of mines where I incited violence, you're just lying cause you can't come up with anything else to defend Trump. Going to peaceful protest in a college setting is different from rioting in the downton breaking public property, you got things mixed up.
 
for all the faults of the conservatives, they did take obama's wins in 08 and 12 with a lot more grace. this is just pathetic. i'm almost certain these so called protests will devolve into looting and destruction just like the BLM ones.

Lol asides from the fact they never accepted him as even an American
 
People slagging the electoral system need to reevaluate their criticisms and learn why it's there though

I care less about the system and more about the attitudes of society that led to Trump becoming President.

not defending the rednecks but the birther movement was only ever a fringe one and never resulted in mass destruction and brutality as we are seeing right now.

the president elect was leading it
 
See this is all kind of ironic. This hyper aggressive behavior is exactly the type of breeding ground that allows characters like Trump to thrive.

Since the turn of the century the left is viewed as the "correct" thought of mind and the right is considered wrong. Months prior to this election when Trump was really hitting his stride in letting lose on all sorts of minorities and the opposite gender, it got under few people's skin, namely the liberals, which I guess most of us are.

Instead of reacting in a proper manner the liberals reacted with equal tenacity to anyone considering voting for Trump. Like seriously, you couldn't simply mention you even thought about voting for Trump in public, as you'd get angry looks depending where you were, no different than saying you were considering Hillary in some white neighborhood in Texas.

This only made average people like the ones doing this protest look no better than the few supremacists who parade for Trump and intimidate minorities.

In the US, there are states which traditionally vote republican, it's just a part of their "heritage" if you will, much like Punjabis always voting for PML-N. You cannot get them to change their views by attacking them at a personal level be it physically or verbally, which a lot of people who didn't support Trump did (just look at the California riots when he was announced the winner). You'd see news stories of some shenanigans going on at his rallies where some idiot tried to pull a gun on him, and liberals crashed his parades with hostile chants and behaviors towards his supporters.

The liberals themselves became mini-Trumps in a way. And this fueled his campaign and made Trump supporters more united. Ofc DNC cheating out Sanders was one of the last nails in the coffins for them, because then you have a lying, cheating, killer in the form of Hillary coming to the picture.

She was seen as a symbol of a TTF by the US people, a tried and tested failure who sucks up to the big corporations and won't be a big change of fortunes.

You have to realize that the situation in America atm is not hunky dory, and people wanted someone with a new outlook. Had it been Sanders v Trump, former would've won, no doubt.

But a puppet like Hillary like any other politician vs an unbound mumbling buffoon like Trump, latter was at least smth different. A bad kind of different, but different.

Anyone I talked to in the US, most would be considering Trump. I was shocked at first, but you'd see hostile folks on both sides and then it just becomes a matter of pick your poison.

Yes this is what you call accepting an election result with grace - from 2012:
