Pathetic losers, they should be Hillary's new cell mates
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Democrats should call these thugs off the streets.

Saw a right on white woman with a confront whiteness placard at Trump Tower.....what gibberish are the libetal left pushing now?
As weird as the white only folk blocking heathrow for black lives matter.

Desperate, delusional freaks.

These people need to realise they are now part of the problem not the solution.

Only by working together can they move forward.

Democracy is about everyone getting their chance to throw their vote and make their choices, if it's not what you want you have to persevere and just get on with it.
Whinging and complaining about the fact you didn't get what you wanted isn't going to make anyone look positive regardless of whatever spin is put on it.

Barely 48 hours after the election, people are still hurting and mad at the result of the man voted in.

They're entitled to a protest. If it's still going on four weeks in then they become part of the problem, but you have to let people vent while the wound is still fresh.

And whilst the anti Trump protests continue, white supremacists across the country announce victory parades...

The champions of freedom are still throwing their toys out of the pram......

Respect for the will of the people is very low amongst this group of the population in the "land of the free".

As one commentator put it, the irony of all this is that at the most fundamental level, these individuals are protesting AGAINST democracy.

Would they prefer to live in a dictatorship? Have a regime imposed on them? Really restrict their freedoms? Genuinely have no respect for civil rights?

And people are calling for whites to be killed, along with the Pres elect.

If you bring up white power nutters, bring up black power racists too..........or the many other racial and religous divisions in society.

Perhaps site ultra anti-Christian, anti-jewish and sexist homophobes in extremist muslim circles.

Equality of concern.

OP

You don't think it's fair some American people feel that a person who is openly racist and brags about sexual assault, amongst many many other things, doesn't represent their country?

If I was from the US I'd quite happily say that Trump isn't my President as there is no way I could be happy with him holding the highest job in the land.

Don't you think people have got valid reason for not getting behind Trump?

===================================

By rioting?

There's "not being happy" and then there's attempts at outright anarchy.

Extremes and extremists exist on both sides of the political spectrum.

This reaction is something to behold.

It’s hardly surprising that extremists are now front and centre. Trump’s campaign was a dog whistle to (amongst others) white supremacists, who previously had been on the sidelines.

This result has emboldened them. If the problem is not addressed by the new administration, their support, (and resistance to it) will only grow.

Rent a riot mob out and wannabee youf gangs watching on....sad pwicks talking about killing whites or Pres elect.
Saw a white luvvie outside Trump towers with a,"confront whiteness" placard....look in the mirror gal.
Self hating spoilt brats.

One could argue white nationalist views were wound up by a liberal leftist pc elite in he western world, combined by anti-working class gobalized capitalism.
Concerns about mass immigration, national identity, cultural cohesion are also factors, hence recent election results.
I am always called racist, sectarian, bigot, right wing, islamophobic etc, and this matters nothing in the grand scheme of things, but highlights how many on the left think only their views are correct.

I am none of the above, but if I espouse an opinion as a white christian male, some cannot accept that aspect of our diversity.
If I say white working class kids do badly in education in Belfast, Glasgow, London, or Cardiff, some say dry yer eyes.
If I say isis are murdering christians, other muslims or gay men, south me call me racist and anti-islam.

If I oppose uncontrolled mass immigration, some call me a racist etc etc.

That is why people go poulist, electorally, if the liberal left pc keep demonizing legitimate opinions.

Saying that, I counter the racism and bile from the uvf, white racist groups, bigts in my community, and if Isaw a muslim or black or catholic, protestant or gay erson getting grief I would be first in, as the liberal pc folk turn and walk away or video it.

Just sayin like😉

I think it’s fair to say, extremism of any nature should be condemned. Like yourself I am well aware of the sectarianism here at home.

In regard to the US election DT has brought out the worst of both sides. Unless his administration works with all parts of the country, I can see the problem getting worse before it improves.

To cite immigration as the challenge (like Trump has) doesn’t address the problem. America, and its constitution was founded by immigrants. It was built on the acceptance and tolerance of diversity. I’m not suggesting there is not a problem, as in parts of the US there is. However to blame/associate entire sections of the populace for the countries issues, (like Trump has) demonstrates complete ignorance.

I don’t think there is any country on the planet that endorses, or permits “uncontrolled mass immigration” yet Trump has (in the main) escaped criticism for this fabrication. Which, as noted previously, has reinvigorated those with extremist views.

When children (as seen of late in schools) start to exhibit xenophobia towards minority classmates, you have to ask the question, what does the future hold for the US.

"I don’t think there is any country on the planet that endorses, or permits “uncontrolled mass immigration” yet Trump has (in the main) escaped criticism for this fabrication. Which, as noted previously, has reinvigorated those with extremist views. "

This would fit another popular polictical debate on here.

"When children (as seen of late in schools) start to exhibit xenophobia towards minority classmates, you have to ask the question, what does the future hold for the US."

Or, indeed for 'us'.

It is quite interesting.

I'd said before the election that until recently, there was a very big difference between the UK and US electorates insofar as social issues (civil rights, abortion, policing, gun control, immigration) are, relatively speaking, much more important to US voters than economics; whereas the Brits (and, generally, Western Europeans) had, again relatively speaking, more or less found a social liberal consensus, and the political debate was more about economic policy.

Of course, the EU and immigration debates have changed that in the UK in recent years. But the US doesn't seem to have moved with social rather than economic issues on voters' minds.

"Hand-wringing"? You think people shouldn't be concerned if the country they live in has made what they consider a bad decision?

^ I think it's a valid description.

I made no comment on the motivation in either a positive or negative way.

Well, you sorta did - to use a term like "hand-wringing" suggesting that concern is excessive is fairly (and I imagine quite intentionally) derisive.

^ No I didn't at all.

It's an apt description of what people are doing.

Is it not then??

This is good:
