    Not all liberals burn American flags but all flag burners are liberals.

    Those who are paid to protest and the little kids that they recruit to make asses of themselves aren't a significant percentage of the population. If the rest of the country unites against them, it'll essentially be a nation united.

    I explained that they are scared and angry. Apparently when you say that about Trump supporters that's cool, but when it comes to stupid liberals then it doesn't matter.

    You realize more people voted against Trump right? You are vastly underestimating that the protest is them uniting AGAINST Trump. That's literally what protester's are saying right now.

    I guess 18 months of campaigning wasn't enough time for these idiots to make their voices heard? I'm sure most of them didn't even vote.

    You realize that more people voted against Obama than voted against Trump right? The protests are paid organizers getting as many people as they can to cause a scene as part of Hillary's freak out that her plan went down in flames. What the paid organizers and the little kids making fools of themselves are saying is totally and completely irrelevant....in fact they don't really even have a message, they are just there.

    No, that's not true at all. Obama didn't run against Trump.

    You complained all this time about how horrible Trump is, people are protesting him and now you are saying that because people protest Trump...some people are going to magically flip and support Trump?

    So you are supporting Trump now btw? You are united with Trump against these protesters?

    Lol at people thinking this anger isn't real and is fake and paid for. Once again, this term will be more divisive than any year Obama has been in office. Be prepared. Oh, and part of it is your fault because you continue to say that these people are irrelevant and don't matter.

    It's America -- how can any of y'all complain about people protesting? It's their right until they do some sort of damage to property or something. Sheesh. The number of people who wish they lived in Iran or North Korea just boggles the mind. People can have different opinions than you and take to the streets. We have a messy, lively democracy (for now).

    You're kidding yourself if you think this wouldn't be 1000x worse if Clinton had won. The Trumpers were ready for bloody revolution. (They may still get their shot in 2020, but right now I'd put money on Trump winning in 2020; we'll see.)

    Obama had more than 60 million people vote against him in both elections....Trump had 59 million vote against him. You are trying to hype that up, but it's really not as many as you are wanting to believe. For the most part, people didn't care which of the two disastrous candidates won.....and that's why so few voted.

    Now that Trump has won, I'm hoping he does a good job and I'll never be on the side of paid organizers getting as many children to throw a temper tantrum as possible. That's just stupid and it's counter productive.

    I know you are really hoping that things will continue on the Obama path and stay divisive, but that's hoping for the worst because you are upset you lost.

    More people voted for Hillary than Trump though. It's not these people's faults that they don't live in small rural towns.

    It's not real protesting, it's a paid temper tantrum. They don't even have anything to protest. In fact, calling it a protest suggests that they have some kind of cause.....they don't.

    Trump hasn't even started and already seems to be one of the most hated Presidents in recent years. It'll be surprising if he wins another term.

    Whoever got elected was always going to get their ass kicked in 2020.

    There will be soooo many R seats up in 2020. It will be a severe reckoning after 4 years with total control of the government unless they start working some miracles.

    When did I say Trump supporters were scared and angry? If he had lost and his supporters acted this way I'd say they were idiots too,

    Obama had 65 and 69 Million votes man, Trump had 59. This is some odd hypothetical situation, Obama didn't run against Trump.

    I'm not hoping for it, I'm telling you it will happen. You mentioned all the reasons you hate Trump and people are protesting for those reasons. I'm not sure why you don't get that.

    When you tell people "Get over it, you lost." I'm telling you what they hear. "Get over it, you lost. Say goodbye to abortion rights, just get over it." people won't. Sorry man, if you think people will just stand for the crap Trump RAN on then you are going to be very surprised. This isn't a hoping thing, this is just what will happen.

    And there's the difference between the left and the right. When the left acts like an idiot, others on the left excuse it. When the right acts like an idiot, others on the right denounce them for it.

    It's just how it goes.
