This is not going to end well.

This gives me hope. #WeWillNeverBeSilenced

And the point is the decision has already been made. It is a done deal.

If people want to rid the EC, that's fine, but changing the Constitution can take nearly a decade. So, if you think Congress is going to overturn an Amendment overnight because a few angry Millenials thought their tweets and memes were enough to elect their candidate, you're kidding yourself.

This will be history in about a week and the world will keep spinning. Focus on what we're going to do now. Kicking and screaming will not change anything.

No, because that was well understood that the popular vote doesn't decide elections and never has. If you want to protest against and system, you fight legislation. It's petty for you to decide to suddenly have an issue with it when it doesn't go your way. She lost fairly and according to the Constitution. And truthfully these people would still be protesting even if she lost the popular vote anyway lol.

And people are going to protest legislation. They're going to protest everything involving this new government, which is why at the end of the day it's deeper than just 'y'all are sore losers cus your fave candidate didn't win'.

And truth be told, if it was the other way around, would I be laughing? Yes. Would I sit here and say they don't have a right to protest, and not be happy with the government? No.

You don't have to agree, but to sit here and reason on why we shouldn't be protesting is just bs. It's vibes of people saying #BlackLivesMatter don't have legitimate reasons, and just care about being selfish things aren't going their way. (Which isn't even a drag; obviously people are going to protest when things don't go they way they'd like

There's nothing wrong with that, and is the literal purpose of protesting)

And this is how the protests are being viewed right now-- as a tantrum from the losing party. But if it makes people feel better, then

Meanwhile Trump supporters are actually kicking people! Wake up, protests are a big part of American history. Maybe pick up a book.

Apparently there was a small protest in SLC tonight. 300-500 people, one news station was there reporting. There's a bigger one tomorrow and maybe some throughout the weekend. I wanna try to go

Its not about a losing party, its about people fighting for the country that we’re about to lose. Stop being so blind, Donald Trump is a vermin

Some of y'all with this "okay, but it doesn't change the outcome" bull need to take an EXIT.

Just because it won't "change anything" doesn't mean we shouldn't use the AMERICAN RIGHT to voice our opinion on the outcome of a government election. This is the same freedom the people generations before us fought for to begin with, to be able to have free speech regarding the government and to openly criticize the leaders. Sit down somewhere.

Maybe they should have voiced their opinions by voting for Hillary on November 8th. Lmao.

It has been wrong ever since technology has appeared. Its no longer needed for its original purpose. Instead its a way to ensure republican areas are over represented. Let them protest and stfu.

Ensure Republican areas are over represented?!

Multiple states that are typically blue hold many electoral votes: California carries 55, New York carries 29, Illinois carries 20, Pennsylvania carries 20... And yet Trump's supporters were strong enough to turn Pennsylvania red when it had been blue in every election since 1992. Trump's path to 270 electoral votes was much more challenging than Hillary's, and that's a fact!

lmfao please we are protesting in peace. unlike republicans, they go around kill people with their guns. Like do we live in China or North Korea that we arent allowed to protest? What pretentious warriors!

His life was so hard, a small loan of a million dollars really helped though!
