A Word Regarding These "Rioters" ....

Sal wrote:.... the vast majority of these protests have been peaceful demonstrations.

And, I have no problem with that.

This nation is deeply divided, and it's clearly within their rights to protest someone they see as unfit for office.

The one violent demonstration we've seen occurred in Portland (maybe something happened in Oakland, but law enforcement says that was provoked by a traffic accident), and a bunch of people were arrested and rightfully so.

Anyone who riots or destroys property should face justice.

And, I would bet dollars to doughnuts that the people acting out in that fashion either voted third party or couldn't be bothered to vote at all.

As Louis C K so brilliantly observed, "If you vote for Clinton, you're a party to corruption.  If you vote for Trump, you're a smart.  And if you don't vote (or vote third party), you're an asshole.".

You'll have to show me where I said they did, Cletus.

Although, they would certainly have been well within their rights to do so, so long as they did so peacefully.

The truth is that Obama was never as divisive a figure as Trump, and most were proud Americans to see him take office.

Even most Trump supporters aren't proud of him.

People who voted for Trump voted so because they were tired of Obama's policies affecting them in a negative manner. Electing a POTUS isn't a personality contest. It is about issues that affect every person. Most of America, the America that works its ass off, has been affected negatively by the policies of Obama. And of course you can't find videos or pics of Republicans rioting because they don't exist.....unlike the pics we now see of Democrats who are acting like babies because they did not get their way....its the same generation that got "participation trophies"...

But Joani, it's perfectly obvious that Trump has enabled exactly this type of behavior by his demonstrated racism, xenophobia, and on and on.  These people think it's now perfectly OK to go public with their long-suppressed hatred.  We will likely see more and more of this, along with the growth in size and number of white supremacist groups.  It's truly frightening, and I lay it all at Trump's doorstep.

Republicans are destroying property, they're just doing it in a more celebratory mood ...

Where is your source stating that the vandalizm was done by Republicans?

Read the signs.  Only republicans are that racist ... and liberals wouldn't praise Trump on a hate sign.  It's revealing how instead of protesting the racial injustice expressed, you can't wait to attack the democrats.  You are truly the number one racist-fascist on this forum!  Congratulations for being our hero hater.

Are those students leftist propagandists, nimrod?

This shit is just toxic to our entire society.
