Trump's campaign rhetoric is the reason so many people are terrified in the first place, so yes. Again, just really poor leadership shown here.
Speaking of poor leadership, why isn't Obama speaking out against the protesters and urging them to respect the outcome of fair elections? Oh that's right, he only fans the flames of violence and hate, he's not big on bringing people together.
Your first response was his poor cabinet selections (which ones has he selected by the way? I'm interested in knowing who he has announced). Your second response is the above. Keep moving those goalposts.
See, I've learned that whenever something bad happens to just blame it on Trump's poor leadership. I'll make sure to do this for the next 4 years. Also, read the news man. Steve Bannon is only going to confirm the fears that many have, again it's really poor leadership.
http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2016/11/politics/new-cabinet/ I don't know why you think you have to be a secretary to be a part of a cabinet. Now can we talk about this horrible choice and how it only confirms the fears that people have?
There's a considerable level of confirmation bias when it comes to people so mentally unstable that they would violently protest the results of a fair election simply because the person they wanted to win failed to motivate enough people to vote for them.

What about Steve Bannon? Lol, you want to just argue semantics when many people consider it to be a cabinet position. Wiki even says so... But continue to dodge the real issue that all Trump has done in his short time as President-elect was confirm the fears that people have with his selection of Steve Bannon. You can ignore it all you want and continue to argue if his position is a cabinet one or not (Even though CNN just counted it as one.) it still holds tons of power and here is Trump putting this guy in his inner circle. Again, poor leadership shown here.
That can hardly be the cause of the protests given that they started well before that was announced. In fact, Trump has walked back nearly everything objectionable he said during the campaign already in his short time since the election yet little kids are still triggered so it really can't be anything he's done since the election.
It's amazing that OP has a huge thing about victim mentality, but is not able to see Trump's near constant complaints about how he's always a victim. Or if he does, excuse it all away. Maybe OP see Trump as a real victim?
Most of the righties feel like they are victims of reverse racism and except for that they could have been contenders. They fear Muslims, Mexicans, uppity women and most foreigners. They can't sleep because they are afraid o
Yes, he's taken back everything he's said and then picks Steve Bannon. Oh and he also has Pence whose views on the LGBT community are are pretty out there. So I don't blame people for not believing him at all. Yep, whined the whole year about how everyone was out to get him and that the elections were rigged.
Well, Rocketslegend you certainly seem right wing and your whole thing seems to be victimization that you could be a great success except for affirmative action for minorities.
There is no such thing as "reverse racism", that phrase implies that racism only goes one direction and that's just foolish. There's just racism and no group has a monopoly on it.
YES! tRUMP always plays victim. NYT: BOO HOO! Megyn Kelly: BOO HOO! Electoral College: BOO HOO! MSM: BOO HOO! Protestors: BOO HOO! Jon Stewart: BOO HOO! Primaries: BOO HOO! Becomes President: OK. ('cept NYT, still BOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO). tRUMP feed on fear and hate. Protests come from fear and hate. Surprised? Nah. Expected? PowerBall winning answer (PLS let me win!)
They don't have to believe him, that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about blocking traffic and destructive protests. There's simply no valid excuse for them right now.
Well the people protesting believe that Trump represents racism, sexism, homophobic, and xenophobic views. That's what they believe and Trump has given no reason for them to believe otherwise. In fact his inner circle (since if I say cabinet someone will just want to argue about that) seems to confirm the worst of their fears.
You were the one who said "Cabinet", not me. You didn't say "Cabinet Level". You say semantics...I say accuracy. CNN being wrong is not something new. It's telling you would use that particular news source though. (Read any Wikileaks lately?) In the meantime, Steve Bannon was part of Trump's campaign since September. Yet you say it is shocking and the reason (the thread topic) they chose to riot. EVEN THOUGH his name wasn't mentioned till over a week after the election as being a potential senior advisor. So either the protestors are 1. Clairvoyant or 2. It was about Trump being elected and them not being able to handle it and they obviously need animal therapy, safety pins, or a big hug to help these special snowflakes through their difficult times. I'm going with #2.
Well that's their problem then isn't it? The fact that in their minds Trump represents those things still isn't a valid excuse for blocking freeways or violent protests.....it just makes them look feeble minded and triggered.
