Not surprised this is only the beginning of these messy 4 years coming up.

an exciting time to be alive

This is it guys.... This will be like the Nixon years, this will literally define our generation.... Get ready, it's gonna be a wild ride

What a mess. Can they just accept and moved on already. Are we going back to barbaric times? I thought all that voted against trump are educated people. What is this? I'm not a trump supporter but the same thing happened to country this year and we are all more than fine.

so you're saying POC, women, disabled people, and LGBT+ people will be "more than fine" in a country ran by a racist misogynist ableist homophobic pig?

People are reacting... Personally,people should let other people react (it's healthy) there are people that's gonna react peacefully and some not so.... It's hard to let fear and anger linger within you without expressing it (I know it's eating up inside)

I expect US to go blue in the election, and the Democrats will hold onto power for quite awhile too.
It will be bumpy 4 years so let people protest now.

I'm not saying that. But instead of protesting which won't result to any good. How about doing it in a more educated manner. You're basically acting that he's gonna order persecution of minorities the first day in the office when he's not that against LGBT people or other minorities. Public opinion can still matter if done in the right way and not by declaring war against your government in a barbaric manner.

And yeah our president is actually a murderer which is far worse than trump. He declares mass murder even during the campaign period. I don't know how he won, but it didn't make us protest like this but actually encourgae everyone to be united to support his other good plans for the country.

Where were they when the polls were open? Cry me a ****ing river

Some of those people probably did vote and some didn't so for the ones who did, I feel like it's justified for them to be angry

"Not that against LGBT people or other minorities".

• Trump has pledged to sign the Republican-backed First Amendment Defence Act, a law that would permit forms of anti-LGBT discrimination on the grounds of religion.
  
• Mike Pence has confirmed a plan to dismantle Barack Obama’s protections for LGBT people, as part of an ‘immediate’ review of executive orders issued by President Obama.
  
• During the Presidential debates, Trump confirmed that he would appoint justices in the mould of the late Antonin Scalia, who opposed the decriminalisation of sodomy and penned a blistering dissent against the equal marriage ruling.
  
• A public shortlist of Supreme Court candidates released by Mr Trump features only anti-LGBT conservatives, after the hopeful said he would “consider” using his appointments to overturn equal marriage.
  
• Trump has affirmed his support for local state anti-transgender laws.

And that's just LGBT...

Y'all wasted your votes on Harambe and Hennsey. Cry me a river

"Protesting is a waste of time" CLEARLY some of you did not pay attention in history class....

Yeah ok, i agree cause I won't waste my time researching for further arguments. But protesting will make your government hate you more. I don't know about the US but maybe because on my country we all know that 75% of what politicians say on their campaign, they don't really mean it.

If Hillary won and Trump supporters were protesting y'all would be calling them all sorts of names. But because it happened the other way around then it's okay if they "let it out". This is why politics is the pits.

"Protesting is a waste of time" my ass. I'm glad they're exercising their rights. Good for them.

I hate him too, but I still don't really understand how protesting something that is set in stone will do.

This tbh

That's why liberalism is trash. Fascism is fascism.
