    Want me to tell you?

    Log on to twitter for a moment, get around some younger folks. Many of them feel like socially this is a HUGE loss. Many of them are tweeting out support for each other because they FEEL that Trump represents racism, sexism, and homophobia. You may think they are wrong, but that is how they FEEL. Just like some Trump voters felt like Muslims were taking over the country or some kind of threat, these people feel that Trump is a threat to their lifestyles and livelihood.

    For many the protest is as simple as showing that they won't stand for what they fear a Trump presidency would bring to their country. It really doesn't matter if it happens now, a week from now, a month from now, or a year from now...but it was going to happen.

    I mean, even if you look past the times where he's advocated torturing innocent women and children who happen to be related to potential terrorist, even if you look past the whole "ban all Muslims" rhetoric, even if you look past the whole "I know more than the generals do about ISIS" stuff, the gy is just an overall douchebag who is incredibly petty.

    His one rule when he did his celebrity roast was that no one was allowed to suggest he has less money than he claims. That's it. He was fine with going after his kids or his wife, but don't suggest he has less money than he claims.

    He's a total sleaze when it comes to women even before the "grab them by the p***y" tape came out.

    There's actually almost nothing to like about him and a world of things to hate.

    Trump has said he will represent and work with everyone. Hilary, Obama, and others have reciprocated. Is that not good enough? I get more a sour grapes, sore loser feel than anything else to be honest.

    I think we need to defeat liberals before ISIS.

    Trumps first speech after being elected was a good start.

    No, RL and mick fry, liberals are your fellow citizens. Sorry about that. You don't live in North Korea where you can internally persecute people who happen to have different opinions. This is America.

    More fundamentally, it's on you and your president and your Congress now. You have all cylinders in your control and we are hoping for you to do something great for America. Blaming liberals is so 2015, if you see what I mean. Get to work and demand great things of your favorite politicians who will now have complete control. The only blame from here will be on them if things aren't great and the best ever.

    Stop justifying pointless petulant behavior. These protests are a stupid reaction to not getting their way.

    Come on....

    Hillary's campaign ran on ugly and always had a full tank. She's as much to blame as Trump.

    I think you need to run into a house fire and never come out.

    News flash... Liberal Americans are still Americans. You dehumanizing them and claiming they are worse than ISIS is ignorant.

    Honestly the Trumpophiles weird love of Putin and hunger for an authoritarian ruler is unAmerican.

    You can keep calling it pointless but it won't help unite this country. You kept going after liberals for name calling and then do it yourself.

    If the childish BS keeps up, it could unite the country against them.....so yeah, the paid temper tantrums really might end up uniting the country.
